​Work and Play in Jakarta: Low-Key Workspaces for the Adventurous

Read me in Bahasa

Whether you’re from overseas looking to experience the real Jakarta or a local trying to get to know your own place better after work or in the weekend, here’s a guide just for you. 

First of all, mobile culture (in both the digital and transient sense) is rapidly dismantling the partitions and cubicles of traditional office spaces. Thanks to Wi-Fi and coworking, there is no need to give up hours of your life being stuck in traffic trying to reach that one office in that famous building in that famous business district.

We’ve spoken enough about the cosmopolitan hubs of our cities. So if Wi-Fi and power outlets are all you need, how about a change of scenery? Let’s get out of the shadows of these skyscrapers and explore the "hidden secrets" and coworking spaces in Jakarta!

As one of the more affluent corners of Jakarta, Kemang has entertainment centers you don’t typically find it the quieter parts of the city such as grand shopping malls. Kemang is a fun place to bring kids (or kids at heart). Cuddle up in cat cafes, have a scifi adventure with Laser Game, escape mystery rooms like Escape Hunt Experience and Agent X, and practice surfing in artificial waves in The Wave Pondok Indah Water Park. Get inspired at Di.a.lo.gue Art Space.
