If I had to choose, I’d say that Split is the best city in Croatia for digital nomads. It’s packed with things to see and do, there are plenty of other remote workers to meet and socialize with, and the coworking spaces in Split are second to none. Of course, it’s a beautiful city too, lapped by the glittering waters of the Adriatic Sea.

Ever since Croatia launched its digital nomad visa in January 2021, more and more remote workers are choosing to head to this beautiful country for longer periods. During the summer months, Split is a hive of activity, with fantastic nightlife, amazing food, and an intoxicating culture.
Coworking in Split is extremely easy, thanks to plenty of the abundance of spaces and great cafes to work from comfortably. I worked from several shared offices and coworking spots, and I met many other like-minded people. I was also super-productive, which helped me get out and see more of Split and its surroundings.
Best Coworking Spaces in Split
The coworking vibe in Split is pretty varied, and most people either choose to use day passes at coworking spaces, pay for a longer membership, or opt to work from cafes. The best coworking spaces in Split have all the facilities you need to be comfortable and productive, and the internet is high speed too.
While I enjoy working from cafes, I found that the WiFi in coworking spaces was infinitely better and the whole experience was a lot more comfortable too. There are several coworking spots in Split, and this list of the top 8 spots is here to help you narrow down the best choices.
1. Coworking Space Tink-Tank
Coworking Space Tink-Tank is, in my opinion, the best coworking space in Split. It’s located just outside the city center, close to Firule, which means it never becomes overly busy but always has a sociable vibe. There’s also plenty of parking on-site if you choose to drive a car or scooter.
There are two floors, with most of the seating situated on the first floor, and separate spaces for meetings and video calls. This space also offers pricing facilities and free coffee, which is never a bad thing.
I spent a few days working from this coworking spot, and I loved the laid-back feel of it. They also arrange regular social meet-ups, which is a great way to meet other like-minded people, and perhaps make some new friends or gain some inspiration. I also liked the decor, which is bright, full of greenery, and offers a calm vibe.
Address: Vrančićeva ul. 6, 21000, Split, Croatia
Membership Options and Costs
Coworking Space Tink Tank has many membership options, including a daily pass for €15/$16. Within that price, you also get free coffee and free use of the meeting room. There’s also a weekly and monthly membership option if you prefer to spend more time there.
Amenities at Coworking Space Tink Tank
- Free parking on-site
- Free meeting room with all membership options

Pros of Coworking Space Tink Tank
- This is a popular coworking space, so you’re likely to meet many other digital nomads.
- Regular social evenings mean it’s easy to make new friends.
- You can take your own food in and cook it, so there is no need to purchase any snacks throughout the day.
- Free unlimited water and coffee.
- This is a large and bright coworking space, which is pleasant to work in and has a lively feel without being too noisy.
- Fast internet: I used this space several times and never struggled with the WifFi.
- Central location without being right in the heart of the noise.
Cons of Coworking Space Tink Tank
- This isn’t the cheapest coworking space in Split, although the price is average.
- No cafe on site; if you don’t want to cook your own food this could be a problem for you.
- You can drop in and see if there’s space that day, but most people book ahead of time, so you’re unlikely to be accommodated if you want to be spontaneous.
2. Amosfera Coworking Space
Amosfera Coworking Space is a famous, centrally located coworking space in Split. It’s a top place to work and socialize all in one. I really liked that I was near the sea whenever I worked from here – you only have to gaze out of the window to see the endless blue.
Amosfera has a sense of real community to it, and they have regular social evenings to connect with other remote workers. The space itself is modern and bright, and the seating is very comfortable. I think the seating at this coworking space is perhaps the most comfortable out of all the ones I visited.
There are large meeting rooms you can use as part of your membership package and a shared kitchen for cooking meals and storing snacks. Free teas and coffees are available throughout the day and you can choose between hot desks or designated desks. Oh, and don’t forget to head over the road for a swim during your break!
Address: Ul. Ruđera Boškovića 20, 21000, Split, Croatia
Membership Options and Costs
Amosfera offers very reasonable day passes at just €10/$11, or you can opt for a weekly pass for €46/$50. The only downside is that this space closes during the winter months, so it’s only an option if you’re visiting during the summer.
Amenities at Amosfera Coworking Space

- Regular, organized community events

Cons of Amosfera Coworking Space

- The low cost means it gets very busy during the day; it’s best to arrive as early as you can or book a designated desk as part of a weekly or monthly package.
3. Re.Split
Re.Split is a modern coworking space and one that’s extremely popular amongst digital nomads and students alike. It’s very centrally located, close to the University of Split, and it has a busy yet comfortable vibe.
If you’re looking for coworking space in Split with a variety of seating options, this is the place for you. There are hot desks, private desks, private offices, and large collaborative spaces on offer. There are also meeting and conference rooms for hire, as well as private parking on-site.
I really liked this coworking space, and was able to get plenty of work done, thanks to the very fast and reliable internet. I also enjoyed the snack cafe, where you can buy sandwiches and other delicious treats at very low costs. Another perk is the fact that as much tea or coffee as you like is included in the price.
Address: Cvite Fiskovića 4, 21000, Split, Croatia

The only downside of Re.Split is that it’s slightly more expensive than some other coworking options, but in my opinion, it’s worth the few extra euros.

4. The Works Coworking
The Works Coworking is a small yet mighty space that I visited several times. It’s located in the Old Town, close to all the major attractions. Its small space does mean you need to arrive early to secure a space, but it has such a cozy feel that even when it’s full, it never feels loud or overwhelming.
For me, this is one of the most unique coworking spaces in Split simply for its feel; it’s a commercial place, but it doesn’t have a sales-esque feel to it. The decor is comfortable, bright, and almost homely and there are plenty of seating options, including hot desks, designated desks, and even private offices. As well as an in-house gym, they also have standing desks, if you want a workout while being productive.
A major advantage to this spot is that it’s open 24/7, meaning you have the flexibility to work whenever suits you best. There are meeting rooms you can pre-book, and all seats are ergonomic for your comfort.

5. Scaleup Office
If you’re looking for cool coworking places in Split with a central location, Scaleup Office is a great choice. I really enjoyed the almost hostel feel of this coworking space. Although it has a professional feel and all the equipment you need, it oozes a friendly, laid-back vibe, with common areas for relaxation and a large kitchenette for cooking meals.
The decor is very bright and modern, without being too “stuffy”. There are private offices available, as well as private desks in the main open-plan area. They also have regular events throughout the month with workshops and social evenings.
My favorite part about the location of this coworking spot is that it’s very close to the beach. If you want to head out and get some fresh air before returning to your desk, you only need to cross the road and you can paddle in the sea.
Address: Poljička cesta 39, 21000, Split, Croatia
Membership Options and Costs
A daily pass will cost you €17/$18.50 which gives you a private desk, and access to the kitchenette and common areas. Alternatively, you can pay for a FixDESK which will cost €275/$275, and give you a permanent private desk and 2 hours access to the meeting rooms per week.

Smartspace is one of the best workspaces in Split and one of the busiest by far. If you want to secure a day pass here, you’ll need to book ahead of time or arrive early. Located centrally in the Old Town, Smartspace is close to everything you could possibly need. It’s easy to sightsee after a day at work or even during a break.
One of the major pluses of this coworking space is that it’s open 24/7 and there’s security on site, so you know you’ll be safe during late working nights. I found Smartspace to be a comfortable place to work from and the internet was very high quality. The only downside for me is that it can get quite noisy, so it’s a good idea to use noise-canceling headphones if you struggle to concentrate with background activity.
There’s a large shared kitchen where you can store your snacks or cook a quick meal, and guests can help themselves to free tea and coffee throughout the day. There’s also a common area where you can mingle with other remote workers.
Address: Tončićeva ul. 3, 21000, Split, Croatia
Membership Options and Costs
Day passes cost €17/$18.50 and include access to the entire space, however, you’ll need to pay extra to hire meeting rooms. Alternatively, you can book a hot desk or a dedicated desk for the month with free meeting room access. This costs €240/$260 / €320/$346 per month respectively.

7. Arhitektonski Kolektiv
Arhitektonski Kolektiv is a relatively new spot but it’s quickly becoming one of the most popular coworking spaces in Split amongst digital nomads who want a low-key place to work. For now, it flies a little under the radar, which means there’s usually a chair available if you drop in for the day. There aren’t any membership packages here, just a daily fee which is around €16/$17. It’s very cost-effective and is more casual than most other options.
The space is located less than ten minutes walk away from Diocletian’s Palace, so it’s central enough for sightseeing after work but far enough away to be peaceful. There’s a large kitchen as part of the space, and it’s easy to cook your own lunch and keep your ingredients in the fridge.
The internet here is reliable and fast, and there are several private desks and hot desks to choose from. Although this is a less commercial type of coworking space, it does offer a productive place for the day and it’s easy to meet other like-minded people here.

It’s a great place to meet other people but it’s also a particularly productive place to work, with ergonomic chairs, different seating options, and super fast internet.
