Short answer: a coworking day pass in Canggu costs roughly 150,000–250,000 IDR. A monthly hot desk is 1,800,000–3,500,000 IDR, a dedicated desk 3,000,000–6,000,000. If you work five days a week, a monthly membership costs about the same as the café food you were buying anyway — except you get an ergonomic chair, guaranteed aircon and a door you can close for a call.
Last checked: 12 August 2026. Prices are in Indonesian rupiah and move with season — expect the top of each range in July, August and around Christmas. Confirm today's number with the space before you ride over.
Price table
| Tier | Canggu price (monthly unless stated) | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| Day pass | 150,000–250,000 IDR | Desk, wifi, aircon, usually coffee/water, booth access |
| Half-day pass (often unlisted) | 100,000–150,000 IDR | Same, morning or afternoon only |
| Weekly pass (rarely listed — ask) | 600,000–1,000,000 IDR | Cheaper than 5 day passes |
| Hot desk | 1,800,000–3,500,000 IDR | Any free desk, business hours |
| Dedicated desk | 3,000,000–6,000,000 IDR | Your desk, storage, usually 24/7 access |
| Private office / team room | 6,000,000+ IDR | Lockable room, 2–6 people |
| Add-ons | 200,000–800,000 IDR | Locker, mail handling, extra guest passes, meeting-room hours |
The main spaces people mean when they say "coworking in Canggu" are Outpost, Tropical Nomad and Dojo, plus Bwork on the café-hybrid end. They sit within a few minutes of each other around Batu Bolong and Berawa.
The arithmetic: coworking vs cafés
This is the calculation nobody actually does before signing.
| Scenario | Monthly cost |
|---|---|
| 20 café days (2 coffees + lunch each) | 3,000,000–4,000,000 IDR |
| 20 café days + 4 coworking day passes | 3,600,000–5,000,000 IDR |
| Hot desk membership + light café use | 2,400,000–4,200,000 IDR |
| 8 café days only (part-time work) | 1,200,000–1,600,000 IDR |
The line that matters: working from cafés is not free. You are paying 150,000–200,000 IDR a day in coffee and food for the privilege of sitting there. At five days a week that overtakes a hot desk.
Cafés genuinely win if: you work two or three days a week, you like changing environment daily, or you are here for under two weeks and a monthly membership makes no sense.
Coworking genuinely wins if: you have calls, you work full days, your back has started complaining, or you want the community — which is the part that does not show up in any price table and is often the real reason people pay.
What to check before you pay for a month
Criteria, not vibes. Ask these at the tour:
- Phone booth count per member. Four booths and a hundred members means you take calls in a corridor. This is the single most common complaint.
- Chairs. Some spaces have genuinely ergonomic chairs; some have nice-looking wooden ones that will hurt by day four.
- Aircon coverage. Open-air coworking sounds lovely in a photo and is unworkable at 1pm in March. Check which zones are cooled.
- Backup power and backup internet. Power cuts happen in Canggu. Ask whether they have a generator and a second ISP line, and what happens during an outage.
- Access hours. "24/7" is usually a dedicated-desk perk, not a hot-desk one. If you work a European or US timezone, this decides everything.
- Desk availability at 10am. Visit at peak, not at 3pm on a Friday. If it is full at 10, you are buying a queue.
- What the day pass includes. Coffee, water, printing, booth access and guest passes vary widely.
- Trial day. Almost every space will give you one or discount your first day. Ask.
Good for / skip if
Good for you if:
- You take more than two calls a day
- You work full days, five days a week
- You are staying a month or more
- You want to meet people fast and are not in Canggu for the bar scene
- You need a fixed setup — monitor, storage, a chair that works
Skip it if:
- You work part-time or asynchronously with no calls
- You are here under two weeks
- You genuinely prefer changing café every day (a real preference, not a cope)
- Your budget is tight — Canggu's free café infrastructure is world-class, and Zin, Miel and Tribal cover most of what coworking does except the chair and the booth
Where the money leaks
Three specific leaks in this category, all worth real money:
1. The unlisted weekly rate. Most spaces price a 5-day or 7-day pass well below five individual day passes, and almost none of them put it on the website. Ask at the desk, every time.
2. Paying day passes for two weeks. Ten day passes at 200,000 is 2,000,000 IDR — more than a full month of hot desk at several spaces. If you are going three or more days a week for two weeks, the monthly is already cheaper.
3. Buying the wrong tier. People buy a dedicated desk because it sounds serious, then use it 15 days a month. Start with a hot desk, upgrade if you outgrow it.
Same pattern applies everywhere else in your week: gyms price monthly well below drop-ins, spa slots in the empty 1–4pm window run 30–50% under the 6pm price, and bars run 2-for-1 windows that end before most people sit down.
Last Call Bali tracks exactly that — what Canggu venues are discounting right now, with a direct WhatsApp line to the venue. No commission, no booking fee, no card details, and the venue keeps 100% of what you spend.

How this page is verified
Prices are collected by visiting or contacting the spaces directly and cross-checking against what current members report, then re-checked monthly. Ranges rather than single figures, because Canggu coworking pricing moves with season and most spaces negotiate. Where a rate is commonly unadvertised, this page says so rather than quoting a number we cannot stand behind.
If a price here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it — that is the entire difference between this page and a listicle republished with a new year in the title.
