Sitting on the northwest coast of the Indonesian island of Java, the city is an enchanting melting pot of cultures, seen in its architecture, its language and its food. But it is also a thriving metropolis and the financial heart of the country. It’s also kept pace with the global trend for remote working and is now home to a wide choice of coworking spaces. We’ve chosen 5 of the best below.
GoWork
With multiple spaces across Jakarta, GoWork are one of the biggest players on the city’s coworking scene. Flexi coworking rates start at around $833 per year, which includes a significant saving on paying yearly, rather than monthly. This rate includes 10 credits per month to be used at a single Jakarta venue, or there are also deals which include access to more than one venue. Services and amenities vary across venues, but include meeting rooms, printing equipment, lounge areas, phone booths and sport facilities.
