The Seseh

The concept

Life, well lived.

The Seseh is a private members’ club and boutique stay on one of Bali’s most beautiful beachfront estates. Designed for people who don’t just visit Bali — but live it. Built around movement, wellbeing, creativity and real connection, every space embraces outdoor living while balancing privacy, understated luxury and a strong sense of community.

The philosophy of harmony

Tri Hita Karana

The three causes of well-being

At The Seseh, we believe true well-being comes from living in harmony. Inspired by Bali’s timeless wisdom, every space, experience and connection is designed to restore balance — within and around us.

Spirituality

Harmony with yourself and the divine.

The yoga shala, spa, sauna and quiet corners to restore.

Solidarity

Harmony with others and community.

The club, the long table and the Academy that gives back.

Symbiosis

Harmony with nature and the earth.

The garden, the beach and a life lived outdoors.

Every space, experience and connection at The Seseh serves one of the three — so life, here, flows in balance.

The estate today

The existing development.

The estate currently comprises three villa compounds — Cantik, Makanda and Kalima — with pools, gardens and shared paths. Almost all structures are single-storey; the only first-floor space is four rooms above the living rooms of the two main villas.

Curated experiences

The reason members keep coming back.

The rooms and the wellness are the setting. The living calendar of experiences is the heartbeat — the reason to belong, curated week after week and season after season. It is the hardest thing to copy, and the strongest reason members renew.

The Seseh Academy.

Every year we give ten young people from Bali a scholarship, a mentor, and a place in our community.

We don’t ask for anything in return. The Academy is our gift to the local community — a simple way to show respect and gratitude to the place that makes The Seseh possible.

Beyond one estate · Phase I

Prove it.

The Seseh grows in three phases — never committing major capital before the concept is proven. It starts here, on the existing Seseh estate, with the sublease running to October 2029.

Renovate & operate

Transform the Shalimar estate into The Seseh and run it, day to day.

Build the community

Grow a loyal member base and the living calendar that keeps them coming back.

A real track record

Establish proven operations — the foundation for securing the land and expanding.

Phase II · Secure it

Locking in the estate for the long term.

Our sublease runs to October 2029 — enough runway to prove the model. From there we secure the estate for the long run through Santiago's Right of First Refusal on a new land lease.

Now · the sublease

We operate the Shalimar estate under a sublease to October 2029 — the window to build The Seseh and prove the concept.

Then · the long-term lease

Santiago's Right of First Refusal lets us secure a new 25-year land lease — keeping The Seseh on the estate, on terms negotiated once the model has delivered.

Phase III · Expand

Along the routes we already travel.

The Seseh becomes a network of private members’ clubs — each new location financed from the cashflow of the one before it. Bali first, then Asia, then further afield.

Bali · Seseh — the flagship Bali · Uluwatu — the next destination Bangkok & Phuket — Thailand’s capital and islands Cape Town — first foothold beyond Asia Spain — Valencia, Malaga & Madrid Portugal — Lisbon

Every stage gates on the last: proven demand and financial performance before the next site is signed.

Development summary

Key figures for review.

The estate sits on the beach at Seseh, roughly fifteen minutes past Canggu, in a Pink (tourism & accommodation) zone. Below, the key development figures for review against the intended Hotel activity.

Land area	5,600 m²
Zoning	Pink Zone — tourism & accommodation permitted
Setback	Sufficient / compliant
Existing building footprint (ground)	~1,600 m²
Existing building coverage (KDB)	~29% — headroom to increase within permitted KDB
Existing total floor area (GFA)	~1,700 m² (single-storey + 4 first-floor rooms)
Storeys	Single-storey throughout, except 4 rooms on the first floor above the two main villas
Accommodation after transformation	10 suites (generously sized)
Intended business activity	Hotel (KBLI)
Approvals sought	PBG (Building Approval) · SLF (Certificate of Building Worthiness)

Why this matters: the site sits in a Pink (tourism/accommodation) zone and is currently built to only ~29% coverage — leaving significant room to increase the total building area and facility program within the permitted KDB. This directly supports assessing the project on its architecture, building area and operational model, alongside the land area.

Team & next step

Built with local expertise.

The concept and masterplan have been developed in-house, with our local architect leading the renovation on the ground. We welcome Indoned's recommendation to align the design with the intended licensing strategy from the outset, and are open to engaging a building and/or hospitality consultant as advised.

Santiago

Developer & operator

Concept, hospitality operation, brand and community — the founding team behind The Seseh.

Consultants

To be engaged

Open to appointing a building / hospitality planning consultant to align design with the Hotel KBLI, as recommended.

What we would value from Indoned: a review of whether the proposed design supports the intended Hotel KBLI and the Pink-zone requirements, an early read on any regulatory concerns, and a recommended compliance strategy toward PBG and SLF.
