Reliable Internet: Most cafes and coworking spaces offer solid WiFi for video calls and heavy lifting

Best Areas for Digital Nomads
Canggu
The epicenter of Bali's digital nomad scene. Surfing in the morning, working from beachfront cafes, and sunset gatherings at beach clubs.
Ubud
For those seeking a more spiritual and nature-focused experience. Rice terraces, yoga studios, and a slower pace of life.

Upscale dining, shopping, and beach clubs. Perfect if you prefer a more polished urban vibe.
