Workation in Kuching: the essentials
Kuching is the capital of Sarawak on the island of Borneo, a riverside city of half a million with a waterfront promenade, Chinese shophouses, a Malay kampung across the water and the region's best food (Sarawak laksa, kolo mee). Within an hour are Bako National Park, the Semenggoh orangutan centre and Damai beach; Mulu's caves are a short flight away. Kuching is the base of the DE Rantau nomad visa's Sarawak push, so coworking spaces are plentiful, modern and cheap, fiber is fast, condos cost 250 to 450 euros and English is universal. The honest downside is that the nomad and traveller community is thin, coworking spaces are often empty, nightlife is limited and the city closes early; the airport has good domestic and some regional links but Europe requires a KL or Singapore connection. Humid year-round with a wet north-east monsoon from November to February.

Kuching has a small coworking offer, partly state-supported for local digital entrepreneurs, partly private in the city centre. Prices are low, and internet in Sarawak is somewhat slower than on the peninsula. Cafés along the waterfront are quiet and suitable for work.
Spaces come from OpenStreetMap (10 km radius); prices are AI estimates for typical offers in town – please check with the provider before booking. As of September 2026.
