Working remotely doesn’t have to mean staring at the same four walls or racing to mute yourself every time your neighbor starts leaf blowing again. These destinations offer something better—beautiful settings, fresh surroundings, and just enough connectivity to keep your boss happy and your inbox under control. Whether you’re typing from a jungle bungalow or taking calls near the ocean, these spots blend productivity with atmosphere in a way that makes every spreadsheet feel slightly more tolerable.
Canggu, Bali
This surf town-turned-digital-nomad-hub has everything remote workers need: coworking spaces, smoothie bowls, sunset beaches, and more yoga than you’ll ever have time for. The WiFi is solid (most of the time), and the laid-back vibe makes workdays feel a little less intense. Just beware the occasional power outage—and scooter traffic.
Medellín, Colombia
Once known for its chaotic past, Medellín is now a hotspot for creatives and entrepreneurs looking for spring weather year-round. The city is modern, affordable, and full of coworking cafes with great coffee. Bonus: the metro is reliable, the mountains are always in view, and the arepas never disappoint.
Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon strikes a rare balance—old-world charm with startup energy. Fast internet, gorgeous tiled buildings, and a thriving digital community make it a solid base for remote workers. You can take your Zoom calls from a rooftop café, then hop on a tram to explore pastel-colored streets on your lunch break.
Ubud, Bali
If you prefer misty rice terraces and calm vibes over beach parties, Ubud is your place. It’s peaceful, wellness-oriented, and full of eco-friendly stays with decent WiFi. Work from a bamboo coworking loft by day and unwind with a sound bath by night—just keep an eye on your bandwidth.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Tbilisi offers something rare: a low cost of living, a generous visa policy, and wine with lunch that won’t get you judged. The WiFi is reliable, the culture is vibrant, and there’s an edge of creativity that makes it popular among long-term travelers who want a base that feels fresh and flexible.
Chiang Mai, Thailand
One of the OG digital nomad cities, Chiang Mai is still going strong. It’s inexpensive, full of cozy cafes and coworking spaces, and offers just enough hustle to keep you motivated. Mountains are nearby when you need a reset, and the street food alone could power you through a week of meetings.
Las Palmas, Gran Canaria
This Canary Islands city is often overlooked, which is good news if you’re looking for reliable sun, beach walks, and a solid WiFi connection with fewer distractions. The vibe is low-key, but the infrastructure is there—making it one of the more underrated options for working from the coast.
Mexico City, Mexico
Not exactly a beachy getaway, but Mexico City makes up for it with culture, cafes, and energy. Fast internet, creative spaces, and a food scene that’s hard to beat make this a great urban remote-work base. Plus, there’s always something to see or do when you clock out.
Taghazout, Morocco
This surf village is small, scenic, and increasingly popular with freelancers who want waves and work in the same day. WiFi can be patchy in some places, but the pace of life is gentle enough that no one’s panicking. Coworking spots have popped up right near the beach, making productivity feel surprisingly relaxed.
Antigua, Guatemala
With its cobbled streets and volcano views, Antigua offers a colorful, peaceful setting for remote work. The internet is reliable in most cafes and hotels, and the town has just the right mix of community and calm. Take breaks in leafy courtyards or wander ruins after work—it’s all part of the rhythm here.
