Where to Work in Canggu With a Shisha: Calm, Fast Wi-Fi, Plugs

Canggu is full of places to open a laptop. Cafés with loud playlists, beach bars with no plugs, coworking spaces where you cannot order a shisha. If what you want is a calm table, a stable connection and a shisha beside your screen, the list gets very short. At the top of it is Maison Almaz, in Berawa.

A calm room, all day

Maison Almaz comes alive at night, but during the day it is a different place. The room is calm from morning to evening, with light music in the background: present enough to feel good, quiet enough to think, write and take a call. No DJ, no beach-club bass, no blender every thirty seconds.

That calm is the first reason people come to work here, and the reason they stay for the afternoon.

High tables, built for a laptop

Working from a low lounge sofa looks good in photos and hurts after an hour. We have high tables that put your screen at a comfortable height and let you sit upright, the way you would at a desk. Bring your laptop, your notebook, your second screen if you travel with one: there is room for all of it.

Fast Wi-Fi and a plug under every table

The two things every remote worker checks first are covered:

• Fast Wi-Fi for uploads, video calls and the cloud tools you live in.
• A power outlet under every table. Not one socket by the wall that everyone fights over: every table has its own, so your battery is never the reason you leave.

A shisha while you work

This is what no coworking space in Canggu offers. Our masters prepare premium shisha at your table and look after it for the whole session, changing the coals so you never have to stop working to fix anything.

• Standard (Union tobacco) is 285K, Premium (Darkside) is 350K.
• Daytime offer, 6 AM to 5 PM, every day: buy one Standard shisha, get the second one free. Perfect for a long working session, or for two people working side by side.
• Lunch & Chicha, 12 PM to 4 PM: a dish of the day with a Standard shisha for 220K. Lunch and your afternoon shisha in one order.

Not sure which flavour suits a focused afternoon? Our guide on how to choose a shisha flavour helps, or ask the master on the floor. Shisha is served to guests aged 18 and over.

Tea, coffee and matcha: a long list for a long day

A working day is a series of cups, so our list is long:

• Coffee: espresso, long black, americano, cappuccino, latte, flat white, mochaccino and espresso tonic, plus signature coffees like the honey latte, vanilla, hazelnut, butterscotch and palm sugar coffee. All hot or iced.
• Matcha: the espresso matcha latte and the pandan latte when you want something greener than a flat white.
• Tea: black tea, black spice chai, Earl Grey, jasmine, green tea, oolong, milk oolong, mint, ginger, lemongrass and chamomile, in regular or large.
• The Chinese Tea Selection, hot or iced: Red GABA, Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe), Tie Guan Yin, Jasmine Pearls, E Shen Ya Bao tea buds, Ubud Shu Puerh, and a buckwheat tea that is light in caffeine for the late afternoon.

Start on a double espresso, switch to green tea after lunch, finish on chamomile. You never have to leave the table to change rhythm.

A full menu, and a plate you build yourself

The kitchen serves the full menu from 10 AM to 3 AM: avocado toast and salmon crêpes in the morning, mezze, hummus, salads, grilled fish, pizzas and pasta for lunch, and a full dinner when the laptop closes.

For working days, the smartest order is the Make Your Own Meal, from 50K. You choose a base, crêpes, a boiled egg or three eggs your style with bread, then add exactly what you want from a long list:

• Proteins: salmon, tuna, grilled prawns, chicken thigh, chicken sausage, grilled beef cutlet, and more.
• Vegetables and greens: avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, mixed salad, olives.
• Carbs, or not: sourdough, brioche, quinoa, buckwheat, hashbrown, only if you want them.
• Cheese, dressings and sides: feta, halloumi, stracciatella, yogurt, hummus, tzatziki and more.

The point is simple: no brain fog. A heavy, oversized lunch is the fastest way to lose the afternoon. With Make Your Own Meal, you build a plate that is as light or as filling as your day needs, with the protein and greens you want and nothing you do not, and you are back at your screen with a clear head.

When the work is done, you do not even have to change places. A signature cocktail at 6 PM, dinner at 8, and the day becomes an evening.

Open 24 hours: work on your own clock

Remote work does not always follow Bali time. Calls with Europe in the evening, deadlines with the US in the early morning. Maison Almaz is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so the table, the Wi-Fi and the shisha are there whenever your schedule needs them. Between 3 AM and 10 AM the kitchen serves a shorter night menu.
