Workation in Makassar: the essentials
Spice traders knew Makassar long before the Dutch East India Company took it from the Gowa Sultanate in the 17th century, and Fort Rotterdam still stands near the waterfront. Now the largest city in eastern Indonesia, it spreads along Sulawesi's southwest coast facing the Makassar Strait, with malls, hospitals, a few coworking spaces and a food culture built on grilled fish and coto beef soup. Sunset crowds gather at Losari Beach, a promenade rather than a place to swim. From the airport, less than 20 km out, flights fan out across the archipelago, and Tana Toraja is reached overland from here. Traffic is dense and it is hot all year.
