The ability to work from anywhere has revolutionized how people mix business with pleasure, and it seems like the remote trend is here to stay. For digital nomads, finding a destination — and a hotel — that expertly combines work and play is key. You need great Wi-Fi, a comfortable workspace, and plenty of activities and new experiences to enjoy when your day job is done. Below, we share our top picks for countries that easily meet these requirements, making them perfect for digital nomads.
Mexico
Mexico is a hot spot for digital nomads thanks to its vibrant culture, outstanding cuisine, and stunning natural beauty. To prioritize wellness while working, head to the coast and stay at Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya, where you can feel pampered with locally inspired spa treatments at Conrad Spa Tulum or immersed in nature at a nearby cenote. Work time is a breeze with high-speed Wi-Fi and multiple public and private workspaces at the resort. Book one of the Ceiba Rooms, which includes access to the exclusive Ceiba Club and a complimentary business center with computers. For a more urban destination, consider Hilton Monterrey Valle, where you’ll have all the big city conveniences of Monterrey but can also easily escape for an afternoon hike in the mountains. This hotel not only boasts a central location, but it’s also a welcoming home away from home, with a rooftop pool and terrace, cozy rooms, and plenty of quiet nooks to get your work done.
Colombia
Colombia’s diverse regions appeal to a wide range of digital nomads. Those who enjoy the mountains and year-round spring-like weather favor Medellín, while beach lovers flock to Santa Marta on Colombia’s Caribbean coast for its white sand beaches, nearby national parks, and laid-back atmosphere. Hilton Santa Marta is the ideal home base, catering to remote workers with high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property, whether you’re sending emails by the infinity pool or taking meetings in the Executive Lounge. Comfortable, naturally lit workspaces with ergonomic furniture are conveniently dispersed within the hotel, including in rooms and suites. Longer stays won’t derail your wellness routine, as the hotel's well-equipped 24-hour gym and restaurants, bars, and lounges offer a variety of fresh, health-conscious options. When the workday is done, unwind at the hotel’s private beach club or indulge in a treatment at eForea Spa.
Peru
While travelers often arrive in Peru with plans for exploring Machu Picchu, remote workers should make their temporary home in the capital city of Lima, where it’s easy to immerse in local culture. The historical city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, centuries-old churches are abundant, and the archaeological site of Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca pyramid, is in the popular Miraflores neighborhood. Set yourself up at the centrally located Hilton Lima Miraflores for easy access to all these offerings and more. The hotel is perfect for digital nomads who appreciate a change of scenery as they work. Type away while savoring Peruvian cuisine at the Social Restaurant & Bar, take calls from the rooftop lounge, or stay focused from the comfort of your guest room workstation with floor-to-ceiling windows providing spectacular views.
Barbados
When it comes to working hard and playing harder, Barbados is the prime destination for remote workers who enjoy an active lifestyle. Settle in at Hilton Barbados Resort, where you’ll have direct access to two white-sand beaches and plenty of water sports, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and surfing. Relaxation is never far away with multiple swimming pools and an on-site spa. When it’s time to get to business, you’ll be set for success with unlimited Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Each guest room features a spacious desk and a private balcony, where the fresh air and ocean views will help you stay motivated. For a coffee shop environment without leaving the comfort of your hotel, head to Cuppa Cafe, where you can fuel up for the workday with coffees, smoothies, teas, and pastries.
