Workation in Surabaya: the essentials
Indonesians know Surabaya as the City of Heroes for the battle against British forces in November 1945, and the monument to it stands in the centre. Indonesia's second-largest city has about three million residents and sits on the Madura Strait, a port and business city with a long bridge to Madura and a historic Arab quarter around the Ampel mosque. People come for work and for food such as rawon, a black beef soup, and there are several coworking spaces. Juanda International Airport, about 12 km out, connects across the archipelago, and Malang and Mount Bromo are within reach. Heat and traffic are constant, and the city is built for commerce rather than leisure.

OpenStreetMap lists three coworking spaces within 10 km of Surabaya, including Koridor and Milieu Space. That is a modest count for a major city, and with Indonesia's low cost of living, prices are likely moderate.
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.
