Frequently asked questions

Is the venue shared with other guests during a retreat?

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.

What does the venue rate include?

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.

What is the minimum booking for a retreat?

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.

How many guests can the venue hold?

The venue holds up to 21 guests on-site across 8 bedrooms, spread across 5 uniquely designed villas plus a kids' room and staff quarters. For larger groups, many more rooms are available nearby, allowing extra guests to join the full retreat program each day while staying off-site overnight. This capacity suits a wide range of group sizes, from smaller, focused retreats to larger cohorts. Additional beds can also be arranged on-site at an extra fee.

Which amenities carry an additional fee?

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.

Can dietary requirements be accommodated?

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.

Do you help design the retreat schedule?

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.

Can cultural excursions and tours be added to the itinerary?

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.

How do payments work?

A 50% deposit secures your dates, with the balance due 30 days before your retreat begins. We walk you through the full terms when you enquire.

How far in advance should a retreat be booked?

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.

Where is The Seed, and how do guests get there?

The Seed is located on the quiet east coast of Bali in Candidasa, Karangasem, about two hours from Bali's international airport in Denpasar. We arrange airport transfers and group transport for your guests.

Can you help promote my retreat?

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.
