Workation in Tarawa: the essentials
Tarawa is a narrow coral atoll in the central Pacific and the capital of Kiribati. Nearly all activity is in South Tarawa, a chain of islets joined by causeways where more than 56,000 people, half the nation, were counted in 2015. It is densely built and supplies are thin: piped water reaches each village for only a couple of hours every two days. North Tarawa has stayed rural and resembles the remote outer islands. In Betio, gun emplacements along the shore recall the battle of 1943. We know of no coworking space here, and Bonriki International Airport, about 20 km away, has few international connections.

OpenStreetMap records no coworking spaces within 10 km of Tarawa, Kiribati's capital. Remote work would mostly rely on hotel Wi-Fi, and at around 5 Mbit/s video calls are only partly workable.
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.
