Remote working in Lagos: the practical guide

Internet, workspaces, seasons and settling in — what to know before you open your laptop in the western Algarve.

Is the internet good enough?

Yes. Lagos has widespread fibre coverage and coworking spaces run business-grade connections. At Vila Mós, the WiFi comfortably handles video calls, large uploads and streaming — and every desk comes with a monitor, so you’re not squinting at a laptop for eight hours.

Where should you work?

Cafés here are lovely, but they’re built for coffee, not calls. Most remote workers settle into a rhythm: a proper workspace for focused days, cafés and terraces for lighter ones. A coworking day pass in Lagos runs €15–25; at Vila Mós it’s €20 with the pool, gym and parking included, five minutes from Porto de Mós Beach.

When is the best time to come?

Every season has a case. Summer brings long evenings and warm sea; spring and autumn are ideal for working — 20-something degrees, quiet beaches, lower rents. Winters are mild and bright, and you’ll have the cliff walks largely to yourself.

Getting here and around

Faro Airport is about 55 minutes by car, with direct flights across Europe. Within Lagos everything is walkable or a short drive — Vila Mós sits on the hillside above Porto de Mós with free parking on site.

Finding your people

The fastest way into the Lagos remote-work community is showing up where it gathers: coworking spaces, coffee mornings and sunset socials. Our community calendar opens to members first — start with a day pass and introductions tend to take care of themselves.
