Coliwoo is a renowned coliving company in Singapore, with prime locations throughout the nation split between coliving apartments and hotels. You could pick any one and be good, but we went with their Orchard branch as it’s in one of Singapore’s best neighborhoods.
Coliwoo Orchard is the largest co-working and co-living space in Orchard, with rooms available for a minimum 6-night stay. They’re furnished with all the amenities you’d expect, but the extras are what make living here worth it. Think of a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a gym, and a BBQ pit perfect for relaxing, with weekly housekeeping services.
The extras don’t just end with the properties, either. As a Coliwoo member, you have the added perk of getting discounts at selected partners. This includes a free massage therapy, $20 off your first Foodpanda order (the Singaporean UberEats), and cheap contract mobile plans.
Although they don’t have a dedicated coworking space, the communal lounges do feature desks where you can set up your laptop while still enjoying the occasional chatter. If you need total privacy, each room has a well-equipped workstation.
What we liked: Coliwoo Orchard is just a short walk away from the nearest MRT, as well as the ION Orchard and Paragon malls.

Figment has spent a long time transforming old shophouses into communal living spaces featuring splendid rooms and studios. They have locations across the nation, including House Natalia in Katong, which we chose because of its location.
House Natalia is nestled in Katong, with the i12 Katong Mall (pronounced “I want to Katong” as we discovered embarrassingly). Here, you can indulge in local eateries (we recommend the laksa), catch a movie, take part in a pub crawl, or stay fit at the gym.
When you’re home, you can spend time getting to know your housemates, soaking up the sun from the rooftop, or cooped up catching up on series. You also get access to the usual amenities, all of which require a 3-month minimum stay.
Figment takes a different approach to coworking, as they have a detached workspace that’s available to all Figment residents instead of having a working spot in each location. During your stay, you have complimentary access to the Figment Clubhouse’s coworking space, community lounge, and event area.
What we liked: The proximity to the i12 Katong Mall and the intricate artwork inside the house.

Coliving and Coworking in Singapore: FAQs
Now that you have a variety of places to choose from for your co-working and co-living space, it’s time to answer some commonly asked questions.
Is Coliving Legal in Singapore?
Yes, communal living is legal in Singapore and you’ll rarely have to worry about anything as a tourist. However, the owners of coliving properties are required to abide by specific requirements, for example never going above the maximum occupancy limit.
What Is the Difference Between Coworking and Coliving?
Coworking is focused on working in collaboration with others in the same space or working independently but sharing resources and amenities. On the other hand, coliving is focused on living in a shared property with communal spaces that allow for meeting new people.
What Are The Pros and Cons of Coliving?
While coliving has become a viable solution for digital nomads, it does have its fair share of bad that comes with the good.
Included in the many pros of coliving are lower monthly costs, the ability to be involved in social spaces almost immediately, and flexibility in lease terms.
The cons of coliving include having to share your space with others who you may not mesh with or have different lifestyles than you, and there aren’t as many co-living places outside of the main cities.
Is Co-living Popular in Singapore?
Yes, co-living places have become extremely popular in the last few years in Singapore, especially among young professionals. In fact, some co-living places have reported an occupancy rate above 95%. This trend has largely been fueled by the soaring costs of houses.
Stay in the Best Coliving Spaces in Singapore
Living in a community with other digital nomads is a great way to make your travels that much more exciting, and coliving spaces are just the way to do it. Singapore has so much to offer those that are living and working remotely, with ideal locations all over the small island country.
