It keeps the process fun through to the closing night.

Guests can book spa access without staying at the entire property by reserving one of the individual villas, which gives access to the spa and wellness facilities during a shorter stay.

Producers regularly bring their own gear when putting a session together. Laptops, plug-ins, presets, and outboard equipment run alongside the on-site setup. The advantage is a familiar workflow paired with a fully outfitted studio, saving the budget and money that would otherwise go toward freight or rental gear. The team coordinates logistics ahead of arrival, for example confirming power and connectivity needs before the session starts.

Booking a trainer or fitness classes is arranged through Muay Thai training sessions, led by an experienced trainer and suited to all levels. Classes carry an additional booking fee and are arranged through the team ahead of the stay.

The Seed's team connects visiting artists with local and international sound engineers, producers, and session musicians, rounding out a recording or live session with the people needed to bring the ideas in the room to life.

The studio space covers 90 square metres, built underground with soundproofed walls for full sound isolation. Sessions generally run as loud and late as the project needs, without disruption to the rest of the property.

Inclusion of the Jungle Gym comes as standard with a stay at The Seed, it's part of the property and available to every group, whether booking the resort as a full-property buyout or as an individual villa rental.

The recording studio comes as part of a full-property buyout, or through an individual villa rental of Villa Underground, where the studio sits. Labels and producers booking the full resort gain access to the studio and every surrounding facility, giving the whole team a private space to create in for the length of the stay, whether that's a few days or an extended, multi-week residency. Producers booking Villa Underground individually gain private use of the studio itself, alongside the villa's own spaces.

The sauna at The Seed is an infrared sauna, not a traditional steam sauna. It warms the body directly using radiant heat rather than heating the surrounding air, which allows for longer sessions at a lower ambient temperature.

The equipment in the Jungle Gym includes a boxing bag, a wide range of weights, mats, resistance bands, a bench press, ropes, and more, geared toward circuit training and functional workouts.

The studio setup includes a mixing console, mixer, multi-channel routing, monitors, headphones, mic stands, microphone selection, vocal booths, and drum kits, alongside musical instruments for recording vocals, guitar, keyboard, and orchestra. Software for recording, mixing, and mastering rounds out the music production tools on-site, whether the project is a single song or a full album. Specific equipment brands and models are confirmed with the property team ahead of booking.

The Seed offers a range of wellness and spa facilities, including an infrared sauna, cold plunge, detox cleanses, a dedicated yoga deck, and bookable sessions such as private yoga classes, breathwork, and sound healing. Spa treatments run on request, subject to additional fees.

Cultural excursions, along with a wider range of experiences, tours, and adventures, can be added to the itinerary as optional extras at a separate fee, alongside the on-site program. Sunrise hikes, temple visits, and village tours are the most common additions, typically scheduled around free time in the core retreat program.

Dietary requirements are accommodated through the on-site Bloom Kitchen chef team, who build menus directly around each group's specific needs. This covers plant-based diets, allergies, structured nutrition plans, and cleanses tied to a health-focused retreat, with menus adjusted across the stay as required.

Yes we can help promote your retreat. We support hosts with venue photography and content opportunities, and can co-promote aligned retreats through The Seed's social and email channels. Ask us when you enquire.

You can either run an independently designed program using the property's facilities, or work with our team to structure the schedule around available amenities, meal timing, and any planned excursions. Either approach keeps a single point of contact in place throughout planning, so the schedule can flex as the program develops.

A retreat should be booked as early as possible, particularly for larger groups or peak season dates. Bali's dry season, from April through October, is generally the best window for retreats, with peak demand concentrated in July and August, and again from mid-December through early January. Since full-property buyouts reserve the entire estate for a single group, availability for buyout dates is limited to one booking per date range, so early confirmation secures the dates you want. Individual villa rentals carry separate availability.

The property is well suited to corporate groups, hosting retreats and offsites. We have a wide range of facilities to deliver a memorable experience to your group.

Full-property bookings operate on a buyout basis, meaning your retreat group gains sole use of the entire property for the duration of the stay, with every wellness facility, dining space, and outdoor area reserved exclusively for your guests. Individual villa rentals give a smaller retreat group private use of selected villas and shared access to core property facilities alongside other guests on-site.

A full-property buyout rate includes exclusive use of the entire estate, three daily buffet-style meals at Bloom Kitchen, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, and all core facilities (indoor and outdoor session spaces, spa, gym, pools, beach, basement, and games rooms), plus our on-site service team. An individual villa rental rate includes private use of the villa, with access to shared core facilities.

The minimum booking for a retreat is three nights. Most hosts run 3 to 6 night formats, and we help you shape the schedule around arrival days, programming blocks, and free time.

Spa treatments, airport transfers, food and beverages, and a vast array of experiences and adventures are the main items that carry an additional fee. Core facilities, including the yoga shala, jungle gym, infrared sauna, and cold plunge, are included as standard in every full-property booking.

Presentations and town halls run on-site through a large poolside screen and a basement cinema screen, both suited to group presentations, company-wide meetings, or larger corporate events across the retreat.

Team building activities get arranged outside the property as excursions, including snorkeling, hiking, and cultural visits, based on the group’s itinerary alongside outdoor activities and access to golf courses in the wider region, for a retreat memorable well beyond the meeting rooms. These excursions get charged separately from the venue hire fee, based on the specific activities and group size involved.

The venue offers meeting rooms in the form of versatile meeting and event spaces spread across the property, plus private breakout rooms, alongside Wi-Fi and A/V technology throughout the site. The Seed includes everything a corporate offsite or executive retreat needs to run presentations, meetings, or team building events in one location.

Couples can extend their stay for a honeymoon, booking additional nights at the same property following the wedding day. The estate’s beach, pools, and villas double as a private honeymoon setting once the wedding celebration ends.

Curated packages are confirmed down to the last detail, per booking, and built around each couple’s ceremony format and guest count.

The venue includes catering through Bloom Kitchen, which provides in-house catering with customizable menus and bar packages, seating up to 30 guests at its dining table for large-group meals. Off-site catering vendors are accepted for groups with specific dietary or vendor requirements.

The Seed is available for private events, working as a perfect venue for corporate events, weddings, birthday parties, concerts, and private parties as part of a full-property buyout, with event services and technical support arranged around your date.

Depending on timing, guests may encounter temple anniversary ceremonies (Odalan), daily offering rituals, or larger island-wide celebrations such as Galungan, Kuningan, or Nyepi, each tied to the Balinese Hindu calendar.

Tenganan is a Bali Aga village a short distance from The Seed, known for its double-ikat gringsing weaving and centuries-old customary law. It ranks among the last surviving pre-Hindu Balinese settlements on the island.

Candidasa sits within Karangasem Regency, an area known for maintaining traditional Balinese Hindu practice, temple ceremony, and village customs largely unchanged by the island's wider tourism development.
