Tucked away in the unspoiled beauty of Candidasa, The Seed isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience, a sanctuary, and a heartfelt tribute to nature. It all started with a simple swim and a conversation between founder Logan Bailey and his mentor and co-creator, Martin Friedrich.
A Chance Encounter
Floating in the ocean one day, Martin casually said, "If a beachfront property ever comes up, let me know." Just three weeks later, that moment of possibility turned into reality, and The Seed’s story began—a story of mindful creation, sustainability, and deep respect for the land.
A Gift and a Responsibility
From the moment they set foot on the land, Logan and Martin knew they had been given something truly special—a lush, biodiverse paradise. But with that gift came an equally powerful responsibility: to protect, nurture, and build in a way that would honor, not disrupt, the natural world around them.
They decided to let nature lead the way. Hundreds of tropical trees and flowering plants were introduced to attract butterflies and birds, keeping the landscape vibrant and full of life. Every decision was guided by a simple but crucial question: How can we do this without taking away from what’s already here?
Building in Harmony with Nature
Instead of imposing structures on the land, Logan and Martin carefully designed The Seed to blend into its surroundings. Some planned structures were scrapped altogether in favor of preserving the environment. While they could have maximized the number of rooms, they chose instead to create only a handful—each one unique, intimate, and seamlessly woven into the landscape.
Sustainability wasn’t an afterthought—it was the foundation of everything. Fallen trees from storms were repurposed into furniture. A massive piece of driftwood washed ashore and was transformed into a breathtaking bench. Nothing was wasted; everything had a purpose. Guests often admire the beautifully crafted wooden pieces, unaware that each one carries a story of nature’s own design.
A Place of Surprise and Discovery
The Seed was designed to be more than just a resort—it’s an immersive journey. As you walk through the property, villas are tucked away in the jungle, waiting to be discovered. They embody a traditional Balinese aesthetic, yet inside, they reveal something surprising and unique. It’s that sense of contrast—of familiarity and wonder—that makes The Seed such a special place.
A Vision for the Future
The Seed isn’t just about architecture; it’s about a way of life. It’s a place where sustainability is a guiding principle, where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony, and where every detail is crafted with awareness and intention.But beyond The Seed itself, this is a bigger vision—a shift in how we think about travel, design, and our relationship with the planet. It’s proof that sustainability and elegance can go hand in hand, and that by embracing nature, we create something truly extraordinary.
As a private resort available only for full property buyouts, The Seed offers something rare—an experience that is entirely yours. No other guests, no distractions—just you, your people, and this incredible place, all to yourselves. It’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the beauty of living in harmony with the earth.
