Dojo co-working in Canggu on Bali quickly became famous after founder Michael Craig started it a few years ago, inspired by Hubud, Balis award-winning co-working space in a bamboo architecture close to nature similar to Green School. Michael loved to bring this co-working spirit to the beach at Canngu. Located just steps away from the beach, Dojo quickly became a vibrant and inspiring place for creative people.
Haren is one of the welcome spirits at Dojo. The Japanese word Dojo goes back to buddhist martial art practicing court, a place for intense learning and meditation .
Community spirit as a key issue at Dojo, so it’s a great place to find support, feedback, collaborators.
The founder Michael Craig invests a lot of money in a superfast internet on the island, where high-speed internet isn’t a standard.
Dojos in-house pool is one of the cool features
Sometimes its getting pretty crowded. I met a lot of hard-working, very focused e-commerce people there, attracted by the weekly Meet-Up discussing e-commerce, dropshipping, FBA.
Hosting photographer & filmmaker Meet-Ups myyself, I enjoyed to connect to the creative crowd in Canggu as well as in Ubud.
March 2019 the two most famous co-working spaces on Bali , Hubud in Central Bali and Dojo at the West Coast merged. For one membership you’re free to benefit from both places.
Prices are still affordable and I hope it stays that way. Canggu is perfect for beachlovers and surfers, but missing a bit traditional local culture you’ll find more in Ubud area. So by the merge you get the best of both places as a member.
+++ Update 2023 +++ Dojo closed down. The pioneer time of co-working spaces is gone and more commercialized now. Canggu changed (in my opinion) into an aggressive western enclave of fortune seakers with no connection to Balinese culture at all, continuing the destruction of Balinese culture which started with Kuta decades ago and spreading along the western coast line North
