Being a digital nomad is more mainstream than ever. And with that, organisations who ‘get it’ have jumped onto the opportunity to create retreats and programs that bring nomads together. You could be surfing in Peru after a 4-hour work day, taking a ride on a train via the Trans-Siberian railway with digital creatives, or make valuable connections with like-minded entrepreneurs in Spain. In all cases, these coworking retreats are a slam dunk.
Certain retreats are multi-city so you’ll be moving around every few days or weeks while others are just in one location. Some groups can be as big as 100 people while others have it to a minimum of only 10 people.
You can have masterminds and conferences in between, while other programs are just all about co-living. Each program offers something different so you are guaranteed to find something that meets your needs.
I want to share with you the best coworking retreats you could join. We’ve been to one here and there, and the other retreats mentioned here were highly recommended to us by friends and acquaintances who also work online.
Travel is a lot of work.
I am a slow traveler myself and understand the value of remaining in one place for longer periods of time. So when getting recommendations for these retreats, I was particularly enthusiastic about those that are only set in one location.
No moving around to different cities packing your stuff each time. I don’t think that’s really productive.
So in this article, I only list ones that take you to a wonderful destination where you can stay put, enjoy the location, bond with fellow nomads, and learn a couple of things along the way.
I hope you find this list useful!

Outsite Coliving Review | Digital Nomad Travel in Hawaii
Outsite is a great platform offering accommodation on the similar principle like Airbnb. Just with one difference. All the places they offer are equipped or located close by some spaces designed for digital nomads, including the events the community of the Outsite organizes.
Big bonus: wide range of accommodation from the natural places to cities. Very good option for someone who is looking for a short term coliving with restrained budget.
Hope this list has helped you out, and happy travels!
