The Place to Stay for Total Therapeutic Transformation
Awarded Best Psychotherapeutic Retreat 2025 – Asia by LUXlife Magazine
In a fast-paced world where stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue have become far too common, the need for true healing has never been more essential. Nestled in the lush heart of Seminyak, Bali, The Place Retreats has emerged as a sanctuary for those seeking holistic healing, profound self-discovery, and lasting transformation. We’re thrilled to share that our commitment to excellence has been recognised with a prestigious accolade from LUXlife Magazine, naming The Place Retreats the Best Psychotherapeutic Retreat 2025 – Asia as part of their Leaders in Luxury Awards.
This honour is more than a title—it’s a testament to our vision of combining world-class psychotherapy with luxurious wellness to guide guests toward becoming the most authentic and empowered versions of themselves.
A Sanctuary for the Soul
Founded in 2015 by world-renowned psychotherapist Jean-Claude Chalmet, The Place Retreats offers a deeply personal and holistic approach to mental and emotional wellness. Our serene retreat spans over 7,000 square meters and includes 15 uniquely designed guest suites, six therapeutic treatment rooms, four tranquil pools, lush tropical gardens, two yoga shalas, and an onsite medical clinic—all curated to promote peace, clarity, and deep inner work.
Here, luxury isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a safe, nurturing environment where guests can let go of the noise of the outside world and reconnect with their true selves.
Healing from the Inside Out
At the core of our retreat lies a multidisciplinary team of experienced therapists, psychiatrists, counsellors, and holistic healers. Together, they offer an integrated range of therapeutic treatments, each tailored to individual needs. From cranio-sacral therapy, deep tissue matrix healing, and Watsu water therapy, to Ayurveda, tantra, yoga therapy, and our signature Transformation Journey, every experience is designed to treat the root causes—not just the symptoms—of emotional and psychological pain.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, burnout, or relationship challenges, our approach is always collaborative, compassionate, and deeply personalised.
“Be Who You Are”: The Power of Authentic Healing
Our mantra—Be Who You Are—echoes through the pathways of our retreat. Here, transformation isn’t just possible; it’s inevitable. Every guest is supported on their unique healing path with empathy, integrity, and the utmost care.
One of our guests beautifully described their experience:
“I came here lost and defeated and left three months later with a renewed appetite for life. One year on, the impact of this place is still felt in every part of my journey. This place isn’t just a retreat—it’s a second home for anyone seeking to rediscover themselves.”
Redefining Luxury in Wellness
In the words of our founder, Jean-Claude Chalmet:
“Luxury, to us, is the pursuit of true wellbeing. It’s not about extravagance—it’s about offering exclusive, emotionally safe, and transformative experiences tailored to each person’s healing journey.”
This philosophy is what continues to set The Place Retreats apart in the ever-growing luxury wellness sector. We believe in quality over quantity, and in providing care that is both deeply personal and profoundly life-changing.
Looking Ahead: Expanding Horizons
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re also excited about the road ahead. Our future vision includes the integration of functional medicine and gut health solutions, expansion into online therapy and virtual wellness retreats, and the launch of new innovative formats to meet evolving guest needs—without ever compromising on the intimacy and personalised care that defines us.
Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey
This recognition from LUXlife Magazine belongs not only to our incredible team but also to every guest who has trusted us with their healing journey. We are deeply honoured and inspired to continue creating a space where true transformation happens.
Here’s to continuing the journey—towards healing, towards authenticity, and towards becoming the best version of yourself.
