Let’s be honest for a second: digital nomads in Bali are often joked about online. People love to joke about the “laptop-on-the-beach” cliché, but when you really think about it… Who wouldn’t want to trade a gray commute for lunch breaks spent in the ocean?
It’s 6:30 AM and you’re already out in the water, catching clean waves and sharing laughs with your surf guides. By 9:00 AM, you’ve showered, enjoyed a healthy 3-course breakfast, and grabbed coffee. Now, you open your laptop in our coworking space, ready to crush your first meeting of the day.
This isn’t an influencer fantasy – it’s just a regular Wednesday morning for a digital nomad at Kima Surf Bali.
Bali has become a total dream for global remote workers over the years, why? Because everything just feels so easy! You get fast internet, beautiful cafes and amazing year-round waves, but you still get to keep that slow, tropical rhythm. You still get the work done, but your whole lifestyle revolves around the ocean and island life.
At Kima Surf Bali, we want to make this work-surf lifestyle totally effortless. That’s why we built spacious coworking areas inside each of our camps in Bali. With massive glass windows, you’ll have enough daylight to keep your focus sharp. And to make sure you never have to repeat the dreaded phrase, “Sorry guys, my Wi-Fi is off,” we set up an independent, high-speed network purely dedicated to the coworking rooms. Complete with ice-cold air conditioning, and plenty of desk space and power outlets, it’s the ultimate setup for taking calls, studying or mapping out your business goals.
Because the workspaces are inside the camps, you stay connected to camp energy even during deep work. It is the perfect home base to stay on top of your job while catching the best waves of your life.
Where you decide to drop your bags for your surfing trip will totally shape your daily routine. Our Kima Surf Camps in Bali each have their own unique vibe, but they all come with high-end facilities, social areas to meet cool people, and great coworking spaces with fast Wi-Fi to keep your job on track.
Since we know that all work schedules are different, all our coworking spaces are open 24/7. So you can work around your own hours and still enjoy everything our camps have to offer!
The coworking space:
Kima Canggu offers a semi-private area ideal for calls across time zones. The space is slightly separated from social areas so you can take calls and focus without interruptions. It’s also close enough to our on-site restaurant for continuous caffeine top-ups.
The Camp Vibe & Facilities:
Kima Canggu offers an active social and fitness scene for those who want action. When you shut your laptop, you have instant access to three swimming pools, a surfskate ramp, a 15-meter climbing wall, a rooftop fitness gym with wave views, an ice bath, and more. It’s also just a short walk from beginner and intermediate surf spots like Batu Bolong, Old Mans and Pererenan.
The coworking space:
If you need absolute focus and a quiet place to get things done, Seminyak’s coworking space is a quiet haven. It’s the perfect place to isolate yourself from the fun camp distractions when a major deadline is around the corner. The poolside bar sits nearby for your well-deserved afternoon breaks.
The Camp Vibe & Facilities:
This camp is a beautiful, green oasis with an authentic, family feeling. It’s located a short walk from the beginner-friendly beach break where our Learn-To-Surf School takes place, and has many intermediate and advanced surf spots where you can progress your surfing technique. Our Seminyak camp offers two natural stone swimming pools, a yoga shala with gym equipment, regular ice baths, a whirlpool, Indoboards for balance training, and free guest bicycles.
The coworking space:
Created specifically for the surf-focused professional, our Uluwatu location features a quiet workspace. It is intentionally secluded from the main social areas of the camp, giving you a quiet, premium environment with high-speed Wi-Fi and comfy workstations to tackle deep focus blocks with zero interruptions.
The Camp Vibe & Facilities:
Located in the South of Bali, life here centers entirely around iconic reef breaks like Padang Padang and Bingin. There are spots around that are suitable for beginners to advanced surfers. Our newest camp includes a beautiful pool, massage and recovery rooms, an ice bath, and a restaurant with long communal tables for social dinners.
No matter which of our camps you choose as your home base, here is what a perfectly balanced work-surf day looks like:
6:00 AM – The sunrise surf
Head straight out in our camp van! It’s time for your first session of the day. Our professional surf coaches monitor the morning conditions to take you to the best break for your surf level and the weather. You’ll get a two-hour guided session with feedback to help you progress.
8:30 AM – Fuel & socialize
Head back to the camp restaurant’s long communal tables for your included 3-course breakfast. Grab a fresh coffee, refuel, and swap surf stories with the rest of the crew before your workday kicks off.
9:00 AM – Deep work block
Step into the 24/7 coworking space, connect to the separate Wi-Fi network, and start powering through your tasks. The speed easily handles team meetings without interruptions.
12:30 PM – Reset & lunch
Grab a healthy bite at the on-site restaurant or head out to explore the neighborhood cafes or local warungs. Re-energize your mind with a daily camp yoga class or a quick ice bath session to beat the afternoon dip.
2:00 PM – Back to work
Head back to your desk for a few more hours of work while your energy levels are high.
4:00 PM – Sunset surf or relaxing
Close your laptop and join Kima’s afternoon surf session. Prefer to stay dry? Head down to the beach to watch another beautiful Bali sunset while making music together or just relax, read a book or listen to your favourite podcasts in one of our chill areas.
6:30 PM – Dinner & camp vibes
Wind up with dinner and social activities. Family BBQs, movie nights, or an evening out on the town. You’ll wrap up a highly productive day feeling completely fulfilled, and ready to do it all over again tomorrow!
Trying to sort out accommodation with reliable Wi-Fi, surf unfamiliar local lineups or improve your surfing after a week of frustrating trial and error? At Kima Surf, we completely eliminate all the stress!
Your stay covers everything you need for a premium surf trip and a highly productive remote work stay. From daily guided surf sessions and video analysis to post-surf wellness recovery and an instant network of lifelong friends from around the world, this could be your new grind. Who says you can’t build a career while also riding the best waves of your life?
Many of our remote guests love this lifestyle so much that they return over and over again, which is exactly why the Kima Surf Loyalty Program is built to reward your long-term surf journey. Starting on your second stay, you’ll unlock a 10% discount that grows up to 30%+ over time, alongside real-life perks like free airport pick-ups, room upgrades, and board insurance. Stay longer, become a Kima regular, and your rewards will grow with you!
So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags, grab your laptop, and let Kima’s coworking scene be your new office. Check our availability and book your room today!
