Coworking Antalya isn’t just a place to get some work done. It’s a beautifully integrated part of Antalya’s old town—nestled into a restored house just steps from the marina, with one of the most scenic and balanced atmospheres we’ve experienced as remote workers.
Location, charm, and community
This coworking space sits just above the yacht-lined marina in Kaleiçi, Antalya’s historic district. The surrounding streets are full of flowering bougainvillea, fig trees, and traditional stone houses. When you arrive, you climb a flight of rainbow-painted stairs that tuck into the rock face of the building—a small, colorful signal that this space is alive with local textures and creative energy.

Just inside, the indoor workspace is surprisingly bright and elegant, with stained glass mosaic windows that catch the sun differently throughout the day. Sturdy wood tables and ergonomic chairs fill the space, and the layout encourages quiet focus but doesn’t feel too closed off. It’s cozy, not cramped—and even on busy days, the energy stays calm.
Walk out to the terrace, and the scene shifts. There are two levels of outdoor work areas, with tiled floors, white-painted iron railings, and clusters of plants—bananas, lantana, and potted fig trees—framing one of the best views in the city. You can see the marina, the Mediterranean, and the Taurus mountains layered on the horizon. It’s the kind of view you end up staring at between emails.

The terrace isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a major part of what makes the space feel both scenic and social. People work outdoors nearly year-round, shaded by umbrellas or retractable canopies, chatting or coworking in quiet tandem.

There are standing desks, long communal tables, and plenty of tucked-away spots if you want solitude.
A rhythm for daily life
The vibe at Coworking Antalya is relaxed but intentional. Every weekday around 1:15pm, lunch gets delivered. You can order in the morning through a WhatsApp group (there are two places you can order from, but we always ordered from Baba Mutfağı as it was the only one with vegan options), and food arrives like clockwork, shared and eaten together on the terrace. It creates a natural pause in the workday and opens space for real connection.
Lunches are delivered daily to the coworking’s breezy top deck—vegan options included
The kitchen is small but functional. There’s always Turkish tea brewing, and the fridge is full of labeled lunches or leftovers. You’ll find the usual coworking amenities—reliable wifi (plus backup), monitors available for use, and quiet spaces for calls—but what sets this place apart is the lived-in warmth and the informal rituals that develop over time.
And if you need a break, you are literally steps from the marina.
This area of the old town has a bunch of scenic pathways.
Events, community, and action
There’s no shortage of social events at Coworking Antalya. But more importantly, there’s variety—whether you want to deep dive into tech or just meet people over a drink.
Ice baths
With Antalya’s intense summer heat, ice baths became a regular tradition. The coworking team sets up inflatable tubs in the garden area, fills them with blocks of ice, and members cycle through quick dips—sometimes as a challenge, sometimes as a wellness reset.

Even if you don’t participate, it’s fun to watch and easy to socialize around.
AI Café
This is a recurring series of informal talks and discussions around AI and tech. One we loved focused on no-code tools for building AI apps. A member presented their workflow and opened up a collaborative Q&A.
These sessions are low-key but thoughtful, and a great entry point if you’re curious about digital tools or want to share your own skills.
Beach volleyball
Once a week, a group heads to the beach for volleyball. It’s easygoing and playful—even if you’re new to the game—and often ends with a swim in the sea or a shared drink back in town.
The beach is only 15–20 minutes away from the coworking space, and the games are open to anyone, no matter your skill level.
Dinner club
This one’s as simple as it sounds: once a week, a local restaurant is picked and a dinner group forms. The goal isn’t just food—it’s conversation, culture, and bringing people together. Some dinners had 5 people, some had 15. It felt flexible and community-built.
Yoga mornings
Yoga was hosted multiple times a week, typically on the terrace when the weather allowed. Local teachers and members took turns leading. No experience required. It was gentle, grounding, and always optional.
Vrijmibo (Dutch-style Friday drinks)
On Fridays, everyone brings snacks or drinks and gathers on the terrace for vrijmibo—a Dutch portmanteau of "Friday afternoon drinks." It’s relaxed and low-pressure, and a great way to end the week. Some people come for an hour, some stay late.
Curry days, bachata, salsa, and more
Community-led events popped up all the time. Curry days meant lunch orders from a local Indian kitchen, with vegan and non-vegan options. A member who taught dance hosted casual bachata and salsa classes. If you want to lead a session or host something of your own, just ask. It’s that kind of place.
Space and structure
The upstairs indoor workspace has white walls, blue trim, and multi-colored stained glass windows that cast pools of color across the floors and desks. It feels like a home studio more than a coworking office. It’s quiet and respectful, but not cold.

Outside, the terrace opens up to the garden and marina. There’s a banana tree near the edge and an evil eye sign hung near the entry stairs. A corner shelf overflows with ceramics. The mural near the gate shows a colorful figure wrapped in waves and flowers. The chairs are mismatched but intentional. Everywhere you look, there’s something with texture and personality.

Photos capture some of this, but in real life, it’s even more layered. A painted staircase, drying swimsuits on hooks, a tray of fresh tea, an orange cat sunbathing on a stone wall.
People and participation
The size of Coworking Antalya makes it easy to meet people. It’s big enough to feel active but small enough that you recognize almost everyone by the first few days. You get into the rhythm of things quickly—who arrives early, who takes calls on the terrace, who always orders the lentil soup.
Alex, the founder (a Dutch expat), helps orient new arrivals and coordinates with members looking for longer-term stays or rental help. Ali, the on-site community manager, is warm, easy to talk to, and keeps things moving—whether it’s checking on wifi, organizing events, or welcoming newcomers.
From rainbow stairs to bougainvillea cliffs—the levels of Coworking Antalya are as scenic as they are social
The space also includes a social membership tier, which lets people join the community without needing a dedicated desk. Many local Turkish residents are part of this. So it’s not just digital nomads passing through—it’s artists, developers, small business owners, and other Antalya locals. That blend creates real depth and cultural texture. This was something notable about our experience, compared to other places. There seemed to be less of a divide between locals and digital nomads.
Why we loved it
Coworking Antalya offers a beautifully maintained space, thoughtfully run, with a community that balances productivity and real connection. It’s scenic without being remote, social without being chaotic, and structured without being rigid.

The size was really ideal for us, as we generally prefer smaller-sized coworkings where you can actually get to know everyone there.
The community at Coworking Antalya was actually the primary reason we came to Antalya in the first place, after hearing about it from some folks in Bansko. We're really thankful for it existence both because it allowed us to have a group of friends to explore all the amazing things to do in the area, and because its a region we might have otherwise not have traveled to without any coworking infrastructure (and it goes without saying, we absolutely loved our time in Antalya).
If you're a digital nomad visiting or a local with a remote job, we'd definitely recommend joining. And if you're a local without a remote job and simply looking to join some events and meet people from all over the world, we'd definitely encourage exploring the social membership.
And if you're simply considering Antalya, there is so much to do around. From ancient cities to ocean activities, the quality of our weekends here was remarkable. And in the meantime, our weeks were filled with a number of the coworking's social activities in the evening, from group dinners to billiards.
So many people return to Coworking Antalya multiple times, and we think that speaks volumes to both the community and the broader location.
