Remote work is here to stay, and 2025 brings even more opportunities for digital nomads to live, work, and explore. Whether you're chasing warm weather, vibrant culture, or reliable internet, these destinations offer a powerful mix of lifestyle and productivity. Here's our curated list of the best places to work remotely next year.
Bali has been a staple in the digital nomad scene for years—and for good reason. The island offers a unique blend of spirituality, surfing, and strong Wi-Fi. Ubud is perfect for quiet workdays among the rice paddies and jungle, while Canggu has a thriving café and coworking culture just steps from the beach.
Bali is also affordable, with budget-friendly villas, local food, and scooter rentals making long-term stays easy. The island attracts freelancers, remote workers, and entrepreneurs from around the world, creating an inspiring and supportive community.
Lisbon continues to rank as one of Europe’s top digital nomad cities. It combines historic beauty with cutting-edge coworking hubs and startup energy. You'll find rooftop cafés, ocean views, and delicious pastéis de nata in nearly every neighborhood.
With Portugal’s relatively low cost of living (compared to Western Europe), fast internet, and the introduction of a digital nomad visa, Lisbon is ideal for those seeking a European lifestyle with remote flexibility.
Nicknamed the "City of Eternal Spring," Medellín has grown into one of South America's top remote work destinations. Expect mild weather year-round, dramatic views of the Andes, and a booming coworking and café culture.
It’s budget-friendly and well-connected, with reliable public transit (the metro system is a gem), modern apartments, and a welcoming expat and local scene. Neighborhoods like El Poblado and Laureles are especially popular with nomads.
Mexico City is buzzing with creativity, tech, and incredible street food. It’s a place where remote work meets rich history—from colonial architecture to world-class museums, all wrapped in one giant, dynamic metropolis.
The internet is solid, coworking spaces are everywhere, and the cost of living is manageable—especially compared to other major cities. As a bonus, Mexico offers visa flexibility for many travelers and an excellent base to explore the rest of the country.
If you're craving a Mediterranean lifestyle, Split is your spot. This coastal Croatian city offers fast internet, fresh seafood, and a laid-back pace that still keeps you productive. You can take conference calls in the morning and swim in the Adriatic by sunset.
With Croatia’s digital nomad visa introduced in recent years, it’s easier than ever to stay for months at a time. Bonus: The city is walkable, safe, and has excellent ferry access to nearby islands for weekend getaways.
