Co-working in Maldives

How many coworking spaces are there in Maldives?

Coworking spaces listed

Updated July 2026

Covers only membership-club-style spaces and coliving-hybrid coworking spaces for Maldives (country-wide, since Malé itself has no dedicated coworking scene); day-pass-vs-monthly math is computed separately after merging with Part A.

Overall5.6/10Better coworking than about 50% of cities

Good to Know

  • The Maldives is not a single walkable city — it's a dispersed archipelago, so 'coworking' here effectively means Malé and the adjacent reclaimed island of Hulhumalé (connected by bridge and ferry); resort islands elsewhere in the atolls each have their own separate work setups, not a shared coworking scene.
  • None of the named spaces above publish transparent day-pass or monthly pricing online — expect to contact them directly (phone/email/WhatsApp) to get a current quote, which is typical for the still-nascent Maldivian coworking market.
  • Many nomads skip dedicated coworking spaces entirely and simply work from resort or guesthouse Wi-Fi, since most hotels, cafés, and resorts across the country now offer free or paid Wi-Fi as standard.
  • If pricing or availability is the deciding factor, it's worth double-checking directly with each venue before travel, since several of these listings appear on aggregator sites with little independent, up-to-date confirmation.
  • There is no Soho House-style private members' club anywhere in the Maldives right now — for that kind of work+social+hospitality club you'd need to look at hub cities like Bangkok or Mumbai instead.
  • The country's only real coliving-hybrid coworking scene is on Thulusdhoo island, not in Malé itself — expect a speedboat or ferry transfer of roughly 45–90 minutes to reach it, so factor that into any 'coworking near me' expectations.
  • This is a genuinely nascent scene: bookings for these coliving-hybrid spots often happen directly via WhatsApp/Instagram rather than through polished booking platforms, so double-check current availability and pricing directly with the host before committing.
  • Quoted monthly rates typically bundle meals and cleaning in with the room, which is worth comparing against a plain Airbnb monthly rate before assuming coliving is cheaper.

Coworking Spaces

Traditional and Hotel-Based Spaces

  • Seed by BCC
    Type
    Traditional coworking
    Neighborhood
    Kaneeru Villa, Orchid Magu, Malé City
    Vibe and Amenities
    Widely reported as the Maldives' first dedicated coworking space, run by the government-linked Business Center Corporation (BCC) rather than a private operator.
    Pricing Available
    No
    Notes
    Launched as a state-backed initiative to support home-based workers and small businesses; pricing is not published online and would need to be requested directly from BCC.
  • Your SPACE at CROSSROADS Maldives
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    The Marina, CROSSROADS Maldives (accessed via ferry from Malé)
    Vibe and Amenities
    A resort/marina-integrated coworking space with hot-desk, designated-desk and private membership tiers, complimentary Malé transfers, free Wi-Fi, printing/scanning/mail services, meeting rooms, self-service coffee, and discounts across the Marina's dining and retail outlets.
    Pricing Available
    No
    Notes
    Marketed as the Maldives' first purpose-built coworking facility outside Malé. Located about 15 minutes from Malé by regular ferry service, so slightly beyond a strict walkable radius, but positioned and marketed specifically as a Malé-commutable coworking option with transfers included.
  • The Hive
    Type
    Traditional coworking
    Neighborhood
    Malé
    Vibe and Amenities
    Described as a coworking space with modern amenities aimed at entrepreneurs and remote workers.
    Pricing Available
    No
    Notes
    Limited independent detail available online beyond aggregator/blog listings; no verified live pricing found.
  • Maldives Business Center
    Type
    Traditional coworking
    Neighborhood
    Malé
    Vibe and Amenities
    Offers fully furnished offices, virtual office services, and meeting room facilities rather than an open hot-desk floor.
    Pricing Available
    No
    Notes
    Geared more toward registered businesses/virtual office needs than casual day-pass drop-in work.
  • Regus Maldives
    Type
    Traditional coworking
    Neighborhood
    Hulhumalé
    Vibe and Amenities
    Part of the international Regus/IWG network, offering private offices, coworking desks, and meeting rooms in a professional, corporate-style setting.
    Pricing Available
    No
    Notes
    As a global chain, Regus typically prices via its own booking portal/app rather than a public flat rate; figures were not confirmed at time of writing.
  • Big Sea Maldives Pvt Ltd
    Type
    Traditional coworking
    Neighborhood
    Galolhu, Malé
    Vibe and Amenities
    Listed as a coworking space on business directories; limited detail beyond location and listing.
    Pricing Available
    No
    Notes
    Very little independent verification available online; treat as a lead to confirm directly rather than a fully vetted option.

Membership Clubs and Co-living Hybrids

Context Note
For digital nomads and remote workers, Thulusdhoo offers several coliving spaces, strong internet, cosy cafés, and a small yet active community. No Soho House-style or comparable private members' club (combining work + social + hospitality amenities under one paid membership) was found operating anywhere in the Maldives at the time of research. The concept simply hasn't reached this market yet — the nearest such clubs are in cities like Bangkok, Istanbul, or Mumbai.

Clubs and Hybrids

  • Salt Beach House Maldives
    Type
    Co-living / co-working hybrid
    Neighborhood
    Thulusdhoo Island, Kaafu Atoll — roughly a 45–90 minute speedboat/ferry transfer from Malé/Hulhumalé (not walkable from Malé itself; this is the country's main nomad/surf hub)
    Vibe and Amenities
    a favourite among surfers and remote workers

    Pricing

    Monthly Stay
    MVR 15,420
    Note On Pricing
    Approximate figure covering room, meals, and cleaning; sourced from a nomad-accommodation aggregator, not a live current listing page from the property itself.
  • Cowork Surf Maldives
    Type
    Co-living / co-working hybrid
    Affiliation
    Cowork Surf Maldives, part of the Cowork Surf community
    Neighborhood
    Thulusdhoo Island, Kaafu Atoll (same island as Salt Beach House, not in Malé)
    Vibe and Amenities
    Live & work together with remote workers who love surfing in Malé, Maldives, and join a community of 3500+ nomads around the world
    Note
    Coworksurf's own Malé landing page had no venue reviews at time of research, and the actual property operates from Thulusdhoo rather than central Malé; treat this as an emerging, lightly-documented listing rather than an established, verified venue.

    Pricing

    Note On Pricing
