Does working in a holiday destination location sound like “the dream life” for you? Admiring the amazing views and lounging in the cool sea breeze while getting your work done is definitely a dream – and now it can be true thanks to all the great coworking spaces in tropical paradises.

You might think this type of flexibility is only for freelancers. Not necessarily. Whether you’re a startup CEO, a remote worker, or a self-employed who hasn’t had the chance to take a vacation in forever, coworking is your chance.

Coworking spaces offer the possibility to work from everywhere. So now is the perfect moment for you to take a work holiday.

What is a work holiday?

Yes, a work holiday. It means you pick a place you’ve always wanted to visit and the perfect working space in that location: like a tropical paradise destination, for example.

All you have to do is pack up your bags and enjoy your surroundings while also being productive. Sounds like a win-win solution, doesn’t it?
