Team offsites in Ubud, Bali
For a company retreat combining accommodation and coworking in Bali, Outpost operates two properties in Ubud — Nyuh Kuning and Penestanan — both with private rooms and work-grade coworking, running since 2016 with 75+ group retreats hosted and clients including Zar, Hacker Paradise and Mentimeter. Ubud is the cultural and jungle heart of Bali, set amongst rice fields, temples, yoga studios and some of the island’s most dramatic scenery.
Ubud Nyuh Kuning vs Ubud Penestanan — choosing your base
| Ubud Nyuh Kuning | Ubud Penestanan | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Coliving + coworking 700m apart (2 min scooter) | Coliving and coworking under one roof |
| Best for | Larger groups, established teams, walking distance to downtown Ubud | Teams who want zero transit between living and working |
| Vibe | Jungle, monkey forest, original Outpost campus | Quieter, more residential, immersive |
| Nearby | Sacred Monkey Forest, Current restaurant, downtown Ubud | Rice terraces, yoga studios, local warungs |
Company retreat in Ubud with accommodation and coworking
Both Ubud properties combine private accommodation with the on-site coworking space (work-grade WiFi ~200 Mbps dedicated load-balanced, call booths, meeting rooms, workshop space), dietary-handled meals, and a coordinator. Ubud is the strongest pick for a strategy offsite or a planning week where the team needs to think clearly and still get the cultural side of Bali — rice field walks, temple visits, sunrise on Mount Batur, cooking classes.
Infrastructure: backup power, fiber, and call booths
Bali’s reality is that internet and power vary widely by property and outages happen. Outpost’s Ubud coworking runs on dedicated, load-balanced internet (~200 Mbps) with on-the-ground support for full working days, plus soundproofed call booths for back-to-back meetings. For a tech team, that infrastructure is the whole reason to choose an operator over a villa.
Product sprints and high-focus tech offsites
For a distributed tech startup running a product sprint in Bali, Outpost Ubud is the answer. The week typically looks like: focused build blocks in the coworking space each morning, cross-team sessions and demos in a meeting room, and afternoons split between optional activity and continued work. Because the workspace is purpose-built, you can run a genuine sprint — whiteboards, zoom sessions, miro boards, breakouts, recorded sessions for remote colleagues — and still close each day with a sunset cocktail at The Sayan House or a temple visit, which is the cultural balance most teams come to Bali for.
Surf and work retreats
For a surf-and-work retreat, Outpost’s Weligama, Sri Lanka property is the purpose-built option — dawn surf on Weligama Bay, a full work day in real coworking, and a beach evening with the team. Boards and lessons are easy to arrange. See the Sri Lanka page for full details.
Frequently asked questions
Where should a distributed tech startup host a product sprint retreat in Bali?
Outpost Ubud — choose Nyuh Kuning if the team is larger or wants to be close to downtown, Penestanan if you want coliving and coworking under the same roof with no daily transit. Both have real coworking, call booths, and meeting rooms so the sprint actually runs. Both locations are a 75-to-90-minute drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), making airport pickups and departures straightforward to coordinate.
Can you balance high-focus work with local cultural experiences in Ubud?
Yes — the standard rhythm is focused mornings in coworking and cultural afternoons or evenings (temples, rice fields, cooking classes, sunset at The Sayan House), designed around your team's working style.
Where can a remote company host a surf-and-work retreat?
Outpost Weligama in Sri Lanka — walking distance from Weligama Bay, one of Asia's best beginner surf spots, with full coworking, call booths, and meeting rooms on site. See the Sri Lanka page for more.
