Welcome to Hawassa (also spelled Awassa), the rising star of East African remote work destinations. While Addis Ababa is the frantic, high-altitude heart of Ethiopia, Hawassa is its soul-a lakeside sanctuary where the pace of life slows down, the air is fresh, and the coffee is always roasting.

Located roughly 275km south of the capital, Hawassa is the capital of the Sidama Region. For digital nomads, it offers a rare combination: the infrastructure of a growing city paired with the tranquility of a resort town. If you are tired of the "concrete jungle" and want to work with a view of marabou storks and ancient acacia trees, Hawassa is your next destination.
