Digital nomad hotspot 1: Penida Colada – Ped
My favourite place to work on Nusa Penida island is the restaurant Penida Colada. This intimate restaurant serves vegan and vegetarian dishes. With the waves in the background, a nice breeze, and relaxing music, this is a great coworking space for a few hours. The Wi-Fi works well, and you receive service with a smile. A big plus is the unlimited water, so you can refill your glass and stay hydrated while working.

Penida Colada is not an official coworking space. So, it is not possible to work in silence or with large groups. The food is delicious, especially the smoothie bowls, and vegan curry is recommended! When you are done working and ready for a drink during sunset, this is also your place. Happy hour is between 4 pm and 6 pm! Have a cocktail and enjoy the beautiful skyline of Bali with her impressive volcanoes!

Digital nomad hotspot 2: Secret Penida – Ped
Secret Penida is a kilometre outside Ped and is a restaurant that you should visit anyway! The food is very tasty, and the interior is completely Instagram-proof! With fine tables and cozy background music, Secret Penida is a top coworking place for digital nomads on Nusa Penida island.

Digital nomad hotspot 3: Coco Penida – Ped
The brand-new restaurant, Coco Penida, is less than a hundred meters from Penida Colada. It is from the same owner as Secret Penida. From white umbrellas to cosy lights above the terrace. This beachfront hotspot is a good place to unwind, but it is also a work-friendly café!

There is a lot of shade, and the music is not too loud. The tables (and chairs) are at a good height, so no problems with your back! The only thing missing here is Wi-Fi. Yes. You read that correctly! There is no Wi-Fi at this place. Great if you don’t need to be online or have a Wi-Fi hotspot with you. If you still need internet, go to one of the other addresses.
Please note: Coco Penida does not open until noon.
Food: 6/10, a bit disappointing, small portions and not much taste.
Coffee: 8/10, fine!
Air conditioning: no, but because you are by the sea, there is always a nice breeze.
