Hubud is a legend – founded in 2013 in Bali’s traditional city of Ubud, it has been ranked among the world’s top ten co-working spaces for years and has won multiple awards. Why? As one of the first co-working spaces, it was a blueprint and model of how to do it right, the balance of the best at a highly professional level.
Community spirit, skill sharing, meet-ups, inspiring talks, networking, great hospitality and close to nature, the founders knew exactly what they wanted and made it happen – in the early days of digital nomads shaping what co-working spaces should be at their best.
Its bamboo architecture was inspired by the Green School. I’m longing for such a place to work – close to nature. Barefoot in an open space, meeting people from all over the world in a highly active atmosphere of creating & sharing – paradise for me.
To be inspiring, it needs diversity. Not just business people and coders, but artists, designers, bloggers, NGO people, scientists, spiritual people and more. I love coming here and meeting all these people who are hungry to create something new, to break out of traditional stereotypes.
Diversity needs access for all: Ubud sticks to a fair pricing model that allows access to all member events for a low basic monthly membership fee. Thank you for keeping it affordable!
Hubud also brought PetchaKutcha and FuckUp nights to Ubud, sharing inspiring life stories, and was one of the pioneers in creating an international collaboration of co-working spaces (Co-working Alliance for Asia Pacific, CAAP) and a global learning community (see Hubud Global Learning).
Members’ lunches & social events promote networking.
Thanks for all and keep it going!

+++ Update +++ Hubud did not survive Covid close-down. The rent of the place was too high, Hubud had to shut down and did not open again since then. Alternative co-working spaces like Outpost try their best, but the creative vibe of this legendary pioneer co-working space is gone forever. The new co-working space Beluna in Ubud comes close to Hubud in terms of its bamboo architecture, but there are by far fewer lively skillshares and meet-ups. It feels more like a quiet retreat there. Outpost hosts international digital nomads who are more business-oriented and is less a home for a creative community like Hubud has been with its great diversity of members. You will also find fewer local Indonesian co-workers at Outpost, as the starting price for a membership is considerably high.
