COVID-19 effect
All of the coliving operators in Bali are targeted at digital nomads (and some to companies, helping them to organize team retreats). Current travel restrictions have affected the operators. So far only the Hustlers Villa closed, after two years of operations. However, wiith the recent extension of the travel ban for tourists, this number is likely to grow.
In Summary
Bali has plenty of options when it comes to coliving, with a few different flavors:
- For those looking at moving around the globe staying within the same operator, there are global coliving options in Bali: Outsite, ROAM, Smena Station and Wifi Tribe.
- Operators with a strong emphasis on community: Camp 308, Dojo Bali, and Outpost.
- Local operators mainly focusing on coworking, but also providing accommodation in a coliving format: Bali Bustle, Biliq, and Hub Bali.
- Finally, there are hotels marketing themselves as coliving spaces: Biliq, VAS
