How DeskAmigo is Supporting Portugal’s Digital Nomad Boom

Date: August 19, 2025

Portugal is fast becoming Europe’s digital nomad capital, with its Digital Nomad Visa, affordable cost of living, and vibrant cities like Lisbon and Porto. As remote workers pour in, DeskAmigo is leading the charge to provide flexible, affordable workspaces that cater to this growing community. Here’s how we’re supporting Portugal’s digital nomad boom.

The Digital Nomad Surge

In recent years, Portugal has welcomed thousands of remote workers, drawn by its sunny climate, rich culture, and supportive policies like the Digital Nomad Visa. Lisbon alone has seen a surge in demand for coworking spaces, with premium venues like Second Home charging €50+ per day and still boasting high occupancy. But not every nomad can afford these rates, and many prefer the charm of local cafés or hotels over sterile office spaces.

DeskAmigo’s Solution

DeskAmigo connects digital nomads with unique workspaces in cafés, restaurants, and hotels across Portugal. Our platform makes it easy to find and book a “desk”—a simple table with laptop space—for as little as a few euros per hour. Whether you’re a freelancer in Lisbon, a startup founder in Porto, or a remote employee in the Algarve, DeskAmigo offers affordable, inspiring places to work.

Empowering Local Businesses

DeskAmigo isn’t just for nomads—it’s a win for Portugal’s local economy. By partnering with cafés, restaurants, and hotels, we help businesses monetize unused spaces during quiet hours. Venue owners set their own rates, retain 100% of the revenue, and attract a new customer base, all with no upfront costs. This creates a vibrant ecosystem where nomads and businesses thrive together.

Building a Community

As a Portugal-based company, DeskAmigo is deeply rooted in the local culture. We understand the challenges of balancing tourism, local life, and the influx of remote workers. Our platform fosters a sense of community, connecting nomads with authentic Portuguese venues and helping businesses adapt to this new wave of customers.
