5 Amazing International Workation Spots for Your Next Trip

When you want to get away from it all but there’s a deadline looming, it used to be the case that you ended up working in a hotel bar while fellow travelers enjoyed the sights. Now, with the rise of workation venues around the globe, you can enjoy relaxing activities, feel productive, and be inspired by fellow guests. If you are interested in an international workation, keep these perfect locations in mind for the next time you need a change of scenery.

Coconat – near Berlin, Germany

When most people head to Berlin, they end up visiting nightclubs until 2 a.m. and recovering over a dish of currywurst before work. Instead, opt for a stay at Coconat, where you can spend evenings around the campfire and cowork in the Wintergarden. Extra perks? Being surrounded by wilderness when you need a break and the Rapunzel Tower nestled among the trees.

The Blue House – Tamraght, Morocco

The name may not come from the ocean you can see from the windows and patio of The Blue House, but you’ll soon forget why you wondered about it at all if you spend any time there. With doors open to startup members who need residence or whole teams in need of a bonding experience, The Blue House also offers two- to four-day retreats with specific focuses like “The Benefits of Mindfulness” and “Recharge Creativity.”

Hubud – Ubud, Bali, Indosesia

Hubud (Hub-in-Ubud) isn’t just a space to take an international workation, it’s the hub of startup activity in the city—hence the name. In addition to helping sponsor Startup Weekend Bali, they provide newly transplanted digital nomads and workers with a “soft landing package,” and have enough space for meetings and conferences for teams of any size. They’re within reach of both city and jungle, but if you’re too busy enjoying their community events and becoming inspired, nobody will blame you.

Mutinerie Village – France

If you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of big cities but can’t escape the looming deadlines, Mutinerie Village, between Paris and Le Mans, is a rural respite and perfect spot for an international workation. In addition to accommodation and coworking space, meals are sourced from the local area, including a garden on the property, and you can unwind between assignments with bowling, board games, or cycling through the French countryside.

Outsite – Santa Cruz, San Diego, and Lake Tahoe, California, USA

We may be partial, but the three Outsite locations are a great opportunity to unwind without falling behind on work. Depending on which Outsite location you visit, you can enjoy activities from surfing to skiing, and each location can accommodate individuals, small teams, and company retreats. Taking advantage of the dynamic geography in California, all three sites allow you to enjoy the great outdoors while having a place to meet deadlines and connect with colleagues or fellow remote workers.
