Digital Nomads Fast-Tracked to Explore More of Africa

Africa is positioning itself as a key destination for digital nomads in 2025, offering attractive climates and cost-effective living, while benefiting from the economic contributions of remote professionals. With digital nomad visas becoming more available, this style of work is leaning away from fantasy and more toward reality.

Swapping the bland office for a luxury seaside hotel, tropical island, or lush forest is not only an attractive way to earn an income, but it also boosts a diversified, modern economy and tech sector and integrates global talent. 

Newmark Hotels & Reserves welcomes remote workers and entrepreneurs to explore Africa while working. Pack a suitcase, your laptop and your most comfortable vacation clothes and head to one of our premium work and leisure destinations: Gorilla Heights Lodge in Uganda, Mystik Lifestyle Boutique Hotel in Mauritius, or La Splendida in Cape Town, South Africa. 

Uganda: Taking the Office Outside
Intersperse your workday with birdwatching, canoeing at Lake Mutanda, hiking in the Bwindi Forest or gorilla trekking at Gorilla Heights Lodge – one of the newest additions to the Newmark Hotels & Reserves portfolio. 

Enjoy a wellness treatment at the IKE Spa and Health Club after a long day behind the screen. Accommodation at Gorilla Heights Lodge is inclusive of meals, soft drinks, house wines and local beers served in a serene setting, making it ideal for long work stays. 

The private cottages provide a perfect space for uninterrupted work and have Wi-Fi along with other luxurious amenities and exquisite mountain views. Relax in an outdoor bathtub in the Deluxe Cottage, or reflect on the day as you watch the sunset from your balcony.

Mauritius: Easy Breezy Work Vibes
Mystik Lifestyle Boutique Hotel is set at the edge of Mont Choisy Beach in Mauritius – a dreamlike escape. With white sandy beaches, relaxed island vibes, exotic dining and an infinity swimming pool at the hotel, productivity levels are bound to skyrocket. 

Find your zen, let the creative juices flow, and settle into your cosy room and modern amenities. Laundry facilities, water sports and golf are just the right mix for digital nomads. 

It’s the ideal spot for anyone who wants to strike a work/life balance, making your stay at Mystik unforgettable.

Cape Town: Productivity Meets Leisure
Digital nomads heading to Cape Town will likely seek out popular hotspots like the V&A Waterfront, Greenpoint Park and Seapoint Promenade for the vibrant atmosphere, cafes and restaurants. 

La Splendida Hotel by Newmark Hotels & Reserves gives you access to all these and more, located in Mouille Point. The hotel’s restaurant, Sotano, offers great coffee, tapas and sundowners – everything you could want while working remotely. 

Combine this with views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape's crisp mountain air, and you’re all set. Selected rooms have work desks, so you can work in a cool, inspiring space before you explore the bustling city life after hours.
