The Digital Nomad Lifestyle in Bali: Nomad Co-Living Resort.

WHAT IT IS?

For months, I’ve been watching on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok how more and more people travel to places like Bali with a backpack and a laptop. They don’t just go on vacation – they also work from there.

That’s where the idea of the Nomad Co-Living resort comes in a place where travelers can live, socialize, and work. Hotels such as Selina in Mexico, and Outsite around the world already point in this direction. This concept takes it further because you don’t just book a room, you book a lifestyle.

Picture from Selina’s website.

WHY IT´S COOL?

Because it reflects one of the biggest cultural shifts in tourism: travelers don’t only want to visit, they want to belong. Every touchpoint become memorable.

  • Before arrive: flexible booking through internet.
  • During: coffee with ocean views, high-speed wifi by the pool, yoga, surf, and community dinners.
  • After: Friends, contatcs, and global tribe that keeps you connect.

It is cool because it mixes the stay with local immersion: you connect with local people and activities while keeping your own lifestyle.

WHY IT HAS FUTURE GROWTH POTENTIAL?

The future of digital nomad is huge. Currently, talking of Bali, Indonesia offers a Visa for Digital Nomads, and companies as Outsite are expanding worldwide. These resorts will become global hubs where people live, work and connect with people – turning hospitality into a true lifestyle movement. With more countries adapting digital nomad visas and new generations prioritizing experiences over possessions, the Nomad Co-Living resort could scale globally and redefine travel and hospitality mean in the future.

  1. How cool is this "Seed"?

    Does it have future growth potential?

    Hi Lucia, Great place and also a (well-known) trend – Digital Nomads and how they stay the world around. But what’s the Touch Point – as presented in the recording that is the foundation for this class. I don’t see the link with the subject – Touch Point. You describe one of the many – and to be honest magnificent – Digital Nomad Locations. But that’s not too fresh – did you do the WOW check? We’ll talk in class, and it is an interesting first try. C u in the online meet. Carl

    Hi Lucia, thank you for your post! Makes one want to leave for the airport right away 😉
    I loved the term “book a lifestyle” because it really summarises, what this form of workations is all about. I didn’t see a specific touch point, maybe that could have been a bit stronger. View Sara

  3. A nice blog post. The idea of the seed is definitely future worthy as you pointed out. I agree with Carl that it is rather a concept than a touch point, however, it is a nice finding:)
