You Deserve a Workation

As our jobs creep into every minute of daily life, it can be hard to get away. So don’t even bother. These companies combine work with play, taking life as a digital nomad way beyond the confines of your local coffee shop.

Travelers spend two weeks to two months on destination co-working experiences in locales including Bali; Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand; and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. “People have a reliable workspace, so that they can arrive in a new place and be as seamlessly productive as they would be at home,” says co-founder Ed Hsieh. Individuals apply for a spot; DigitalOutposts puts together groups that are professionally and demographically diverse.
Come if ... you’re ready to buckle down. “Most of our guests end up taking little or no ‘vacation time’ while with us,” Hsieh says. The company wants adventurous self-starters who will make nonwork hours fun for the whole squad. Cohorts have hiked volcanoes, gone cliff jumping, and taken Muay Thai boxing classes. One guest on a Thailand excursion organized an event at Challenge Phangan, a water-based obstacle course that’s American Ninja Warrior hard.
Cost: Starting at $1,295 for two weeks, includes accommodations, co-working space, and social activities; digitaloutposts.com
