Co-working in El Nido

How many coworking spaces are there in El Nido?

Coworking spaces listed

8

Updated July 2026

No Soho House-style private membership club exists in El Nido (a small resort town); this reflects the coliving-hybrid coworking model, which is common here — hostel/resort accommodation bundled with an on-site coworking space.

Good to Know

  • El Nido's coworking scene is still very new and small — most options only opened in the last year or two, so choices are limited compared to bigger nomad hubs.
  • Power outages of 30–60 minutes are still fairly common in El Nido, so check whether a space has its own generator or Starlink backup before committing to it for calls or deadlines.
  • Several 'coworking' listings are really a coworking room bundled into a hostel or hotel stay rather than a standalone day-pass business — worth confirming walk-in access and pricing directly before showing up.
  • El Nido's coworking scene is still small and mostly bundled into hostels or hotels rather than standalone venues — pick your accommodation partly based on which coworking hybrid you want access to.
  • Clock In at Hotel Covo keeps office hours (roughly 8:30am–5:30pm, weekdays), unlike the hostel-based spaces which are generally accessible to guests around the clock.
  • Power outages of roughly 30–60 minutes are described as commonplace in El Nido, so a hybrid space with backup power or a generator is worth confirming before committing to it for critical work hours.
  • There is no true private members'-club-style space (Soho House-equivalent) in El Nido — if that's what you're after, expect a hostel-plus-coworking hybrid instead, which is the closest local format.

Coworking Spaces

Traditional and Hotel-Based Spaces

  • Neighbors and Nomads (Townsquare)
    Day pass
    ₱800
    Type
    Traditional coworking
    Neighborhood
    El Nido Town Square (town center)
    Vibe and Amenities
    Opened in early 2025 as one of the first dedicated coworking venues in Palawan. It combines a coworking floor with an on-site café/bar and rooftop restaurant. Members get high-speed dual fiber-optic internet, ergonomic workstations, soundproof podcast/phone booths, and fully equipped meeting rooms. It also runs networking events and workshops, and the rooftop turns into a bar/DJ space in the evenings.
    Notes
    Offers day, weekly, and monthly passes, but the monthly rate itself is not published online; a 10,000 PHP consumable package (giving 12,500 PHP of food/drink + coworking credit valid 90 days) is advertised instead of a flat monthly fee.
  • Masayana Coworking
    Day pass
    ₱350
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    Caalan, about a 10-minute walk from El Nido town center
    Vibe and Amenities
    Boutique-hotel coworking room with Wi-Fi and air conditioning plus backup power for outages. Free for hotel guests and open to walk-ins for a fee. Also gives access to a terrace, a yoga room with mats/blocks, and a pétanque field for breaks.
    Notes
    Pricing is tiered by access length rather than a monthly membership: roughly 100 PHP (~$1.62) for 1 hour, 350 PHP (~$5.68) for a day-use slot (8am–8pm, up to 8 people), and 500 PHP (~$8.12) for 24-hour access. No standalone monthly rate is advertised.
  • Lexias Hostel & Co-Working Space (WRKSPCE xLEXIAS)
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    On a hillside a short walk from El Nido's main beach/town area
    Vibe and Amenities
    Coworking room with 8 hot desks plus an outdoor workspace overlooking Bacuit Bay, meeting rooms, and a Skype/call booth, directly attached to an on-site bistro and bar. There's also a rooftop sunset bar and hammock nook for downtime, and the hostel is built around a mixed dorm/private-room, budget-coliving vibe rather than a premium office feel.
    Notes
    Coworking here is bundled into the hostel stay rather than sold as a separate day-pass/monthly product — no independent walk-in pricing was found.
  • FRENDZ Hostel
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    El Nido town area
    Vibe and Amenities
    Coworking access is bundled with accommodation for guests, with day-use available for non-guests, in a casual hostel-common-area setting.
    Notes
    No specific pricing for day-use coworking was published; described only as available 'separately' for non-guests.

Membership Clubs and Co-living Hybrids

Context Note
No dedicated private members' club (Soho House-style, combining work + social + hotel-grade amenities behind a paid membership) was found operating in El Nido. The closest analogue is Neighbors & Nomads' prepaid 'consumable package,' listed separately below, but it is a coworking credit bundle rather than a private club with vetted membership.
