And the word is out.

Cape Town’s New Calling: Digital Nomad Hotspot for 2025

Set the table! Cape Town has just been crowned the Best City in the World by Time Out magazine.

What does this mean?
Every sunlit terrace overlooking Table Mountain, every laptop open on a rustic wood table, and every freshly brewed cup of coffee steaming gently in the breeze is now, “picture perfect”. Behind the screen? A digital nomad is writing code, editing videos, or running a global business—all while soaking in the magic of the Mother City.

This isn’t a scene from some remote worker’s dream journal. Cape Town is stepping up to make 2025 the year of the digital nomad boom.

For remote workers, Cape Town is the vibe! 🌍✨ With its breathtaking landscapes, world-class wine, and Wi-Fi that’s finally fast enough to handle back-to-back Zoom calls, the city is quickly becoming the perfect place to blend productivity with play.

And the word is out.

Cape Town has landed on global “must-visit” lists for digital nomads, and the reasons are clear:
✨ Affordable luxury: A dollar, euro, or pound stretches far here, giving nomads access to boutique living at bargain prices.
✨ Lifestyle on steroids: From sunrise hikes to sundowner views, Cape Town makes it easy to “work hard, play harder.”
✨ Community connections: As coworking spaces pop up faster than coffee shops, nomads are flocking here to find their tribe.

But here's the kicker: they’re not just coming for a quick getaway—they’re staying for months.

Which brings us to YOU.

🏡 Homeowners and rental hosts, take note: The remote workers are coming, and they’re looking for places that feel less like a pitstop and more like a home office with soul. The question is, are you ready to host?

Nomads aren’t your typical short-stay guests. These travelers are swapping “just passing through” for “how long can I stay?” And that means they want a lot more than just a comfy bed.

They’re searching for:
💻 Strong, reliable Wi-Fi (not just fast folks!)
🪑 Work-friendly spaces—think desks, good lighting, and ergonomic chairs.
Thoughtful touches—like a coffee maker, laundry access, or even tips on where to find the best craft beer after a long day of calls.

They’re looking for these…

The trend is clear: longer stays = steadier bookings = higher profits.

So, how do you prepare for the biggest guest list Cape Town has ever seen? Start thinking like a remote worker. What would you need if you were balancing work deadlines with Cape Point adventures?

💡 You need to think of everything from smart upgrades to nomad-friendly amenities that’ll have your space booked solid.

The demand for long-term stays in digital nomad-friendly spaces is about to surge. The only question is, will your space be on their shortlist?

Let’s make sure it is.
