1. South Lombok Coworking Space

No doubt the best coworking space in Lombok is none other than South Lombok Coworking space, which is quite literally directly across from Kuta Beach in Kuta Lombok. This professional digital nomad spot has a ton of invaluable perks … like 24/7 access to the space if you buy a weekly or longer membership.

Y’all, Lombok may not be as sweltering as Bali but it is still HOT so the (cold and constant!) air conditioning made working from here a dream. The location is far from the noise of the town’s main road, and the shared workspaces are comfortable AF with those ergonomic desk chairs I know I miss when I’m in a cafe. 

There’s also a meeting room and an outdoor terrace that looks out onto the turquoise waters of Mandalika Bay – deff not a bad spot for a decompression Bintang once you finish all your work. While it’s not quite as great as Tribal Hostel over in Bali, it’s my winner for now 🙂

High-speed internet is available 24/7 (obviously), but you’ll also be free to enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, and water all day long as a member!

2. Cokreate

Situated on a quiet, leafy street far away from the noise and chaos of Kuta’s main drag is one other official Lombok coworking space that I know y’all nomads will LOVE. Especially if you’re staying in one of Lombok’s hostels where peace and quiet can be a bit harder to find…

Almost hidden behind its many lush trees, CoKreate is the perfect place to settle in for a day of productivity – and it also has AC too! The natural light that pours in through the working area (which is aptly decorated with surfboards and decor that just screams “island vibes) is absolutely on point. And the pricing scheme is pretty damn favorable, particularly if you plan to hang around.

With FOUR fiber connections, upload speeds of 8mbs and download speeds of 30 Mbps, any kind of remote job is possible here. 

I also LOVED how they surprisingly also have a restaurant on the first floor. The Wifi is slower, but that’s what a lunch break is for anyway, right?

Membership Options and Costs

• Hourly pass: 40,000 RP
• Day pass: 200,000 RP
• Weekly: 700,000 RP

And now onto more spots where you can live the digital nomad life in Lombok – tasty and trendy cafes perfect for a day of deep work.

3. Loka Cafe

Okay, so this MIGHT just be the most comprehensive cafe in Lombok! Aside from being a fantastic place to get some work done, it’s also a whole entire gym and recovery center too. So yes, we’re talking an in-house sauna and a menu made for healthy post-workout eats.

Situated on a quiet part of Kuta’s main drag, I really felt this was one of the MOST relaxing places to work from.

Of course – the Wifi is fast – but I loved that prices were cheap compared to other Kuta coworking cafes. The hours are also fantastic for those of us who love working late – you can pop in from 7 AM – 10 PM every day of the week.

4. Bush Radio

This quickly became my FAVORITE digital nomad cafe in Lombok. The building has a cool vibe that gives “distressed warehouse” if you get what I mean!

Strong wifi and even better eats are why I saw many remote workers there daily – and I will warn you that sometimes you may have to wait for a seat.

But it’s absolutely worth it for two things: the best and biggest smoothie bowls in ALL of Lombok, and another dish I had never even seen in Bali – avocado toast with smoked mahi mahi. Needless to say, I had it more than once.

5. Kenza

I ended up at Kenza several times while traveling in Lombok, and while it’s definitely not the cheapest cafe in town, it’s 100% worth working (and eating) from at least once. During some local holidays, I also found it to be the only place still open, so it’s deff worth adding to your Lombok itinerary.

Kenza has both indoor and outdoor seating areas, and you’ll see surfers and nomads alike pop in and out all day. The menu is inspired by Western brunch faves, though they also have lunch options like poke bowls (delicious and my go-to) and sandwiches.

The only thing to note is that while they do stay open later, Kenza has a no-laptops after 7 PM policy, which makes it a Lombok coworking space to get to early.

6. Munchies

I only ate and worked from here once, and out of all the Lombok coworking spaces on this list, I would say it was my least favorite. It was a bit overcrowded, and while the Wifi was strong and the menu solid, a lot more people were dining instead of working, which made things a bit noisy.

Even so, Munchies is a bit out of the busiest section of Kuta, and their smoothie bowl prices are just about unbeatable. The design was also pretty unique – I worked from my laptop on a table that was cut into the wall. 

Overall, I’d still say it’s worth checking out during your Lombok trip – even if you can’t quite get into a working groove, the foodie in you will be satisfied. 

7. Gecko

What I loved about this spot was that it definitely still seems to be pretty unknown – it was by far the quietest cafe I worked from. The open door concept means you’re inside without being fully inside.

Even so, it was pleasantly cool, especially sitting in the back. And trust me once you start doing things on Lombok, you’ll appreciate a breezy workspace! While the food is pretty similar to what you’ll find everywhere else, they do have a few unique drinks and appetizers I only saw there. 

The Wi-Fi worked well and I did see one other pair of nomads working away. I only got to pop in once, but I definitely would prioritize it if I came back. 

8. Milk Espresso

So I’ll be honest with you – this spot is last for a reason, BUT I had to include it for the coffee lovers among us.

While it certainly pops off in that department, the main reason why it’s settled in last place is: it stops serving ALL breakfast items (including smoothie bowls) at 12 PM. Personally, I think this is a major shortcoming because, let’s be real, a creamy, cold taste of fruity goodness is definitely an all-day kind of thing.

But – that does make this an excellent spot for those who like to get started with their day extra early. It opens up at 6:30 am and closes at 6 pm, which is a bit of a contrast from other Lombok digital nomad spots. The highlight is unsurprisingly its coffee – which may be the best in town. The salmon eggs benedict is pretty iconic too – but do get there early!

Don’t Forget Your Travel Insurance for Lombok

I actually had to use travel insurance while exploring Lombok and it saved me $250! Don’t forget to grab some.

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing.

They offer month-to-month payments, no lock-in contracts, and require absolutely no itineraries: that’s the exact kind of insurance long-term travellers and digital nomads need.

SafetyWing is cheap, easy, and admin-free: just sign up lickety-split so you can get back to it!

A few commonly asked questions about Lombok’s best digital nomad hotspots.

With Jurassic Park-like beaches and gnarly surf spots just a short scooter ride away from town, basing yourself in Lombok as a digital nomad has a LOT of perks.

And luckily – just as many places to work from!

Lombok was so much more peaceful than Bali, and I really loved the work routine I got into while on this special island. 

If you’re looking for a spot to really get into a deep grind in comfort no matter the temperature, grab a pass at South Lombok Coworking Space. It’s also a fab spot to shoot the shit with fellow nomads.

But regardless of which Lombok coworking space (or cafe) ends up becoming your fave, I have no doubt you’ll end up enjoying your days on this special lil’ island 🙂 And if you love smoothie bowls and mahi mahi as much as I do – Bush Radio is your place!
