Australian owned & operatedSmall groups, max 12
Private Bali trips for groups of 6 to 12. A 60th, a 40th anniversary, or the first time everyone’s had the same two weeks free. Your own cars, your own guides, your own dates, and one price per person that covers the lot.
Built on The 14-Day Full Circle, run for your group only.
A grandmother and a child of about eight standing together at the edge of a rice terrace, her hand on the child's shoulder, both looking out. Parents and a teenager a few steps behind, mid-conversation. Late-afternoon light, warm and soft. Real people, no posing.
Most of the private groups we run look like one of these three.
Dad doesn't want a party in a function room. He wants his kids and grandkids around one table somewhere warm, with nothing to organise. We book the flights from each city, meet everyone at the airport by name, and drive them to the same villa.
Forty years married, and the two of them want a proper trip, not a dinner. The grown-up kids chip in, the grandkids come along, and the couple never lift a finger. We can build a celebration dinner into the night that matters.
No occasion, just a rare gap in three households' calendars. Three sets of opinions about what a holiday is. That's exactly what the split-track days are for.
Most days, everyone's together. On the days where twelve people would never agree, we split into tracks. Here's how one of those days could look.
The grandparents
The parents
The teens
6:30pm Everyone's back at the villa. Dinner at one long table, and every track has a story the others weren't there for. That's the whole point.
Younger kids can spend the day with Bali Sunny Kids carers if you’d like them to, or tag along on whichever track suits. Nobody has to pick a track in advance. Most groups decide at breakfast. [[NEEDS INPUT: confirm the number of cars and guides provided on split-track days for a group of 12]]

One long table outdoors at dusk, ten to twelve people across three generations, plates half-finished, someone mid-story and the rest laughing. Lanterns, warm light, a guide at the end of the table joining in.
It works the same way as every trip we run. One price per person covers flights, stays, every meal, transport, guides and entry fees. What changes is the dates, the villa and the company.
A $500 deposit per person holds your dates. Fully refundable for 14 days, no questions asked.
The free Itinerary Pack has the full 14-day itinerary, real pricing in AUD, the single supplement and the child rates. Read it at the kitchen table with whoever’s paying, then ring us with questions.
None of these are on by default. Tell us what you're celebrating and we'll quote them separately, so the trip price stays one clean number.
| Add-on | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Celebration dinner | A private dinner on the night that matters. Your own long table, a menu worked out with the chef, and room for a speech if someone wants to make one. | [[NEEDS INPUT: celebration dinner price]] |
| Private photographer for a day | A local photographer with the group for a full day, so the person who usually holds the camera is in the photos for once. Everyone gets the photos. | [[NEEDS INPUT: private photographer day rate]] |
| Cake and decorations | A proper cake for the night, and the table done properly. Tell us the number and we'll sort the candles. | [[NEEDS INPUT: cake and decorations price]] |
| A dedicated carer from Bali Sunny Kids | One carer for your group's little ones, with you across the trip rather than only on set days. Ratios and qualifications are on the Family Retreats page. See the Family Retreats page. | [[NEEDS INPUT: dedicated carer daily rate]] |
You don't pay more for doing more, and you don't pay less for doing less. Everyone's on the same per-person rate whichever track they pick, on whichever day.
The 14-day has 3 full rest days built in. Nothing is scheduled. The pool is there, the car is there, and so is your guide if a few of you want a run into the village. Most groups use them to do nothing at all, and that’s the point.
Every morning is optional. The 7:30 temple run is for whoever’s up. Everyone else has breakfast at nine and joins in at lunch. Nobody waits in a hotel lobby for anybody.
If Grandad’s done at eleven, a car takes him back to the villa and the rest carry on. With three cars, you never have to choose between one person’s knees and everyone else’s day.

“Eleven of us, from my mum to a four-year-old, for my dad's birthday. Some days we split up and some days we didn't, and every night we all sat down to dinner together. That was the whole point.”

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ring us and ask.
Six people. Under six, you're better off joining a public departure. With a cap of 12 guests it's already a small group, and you can still add a celebration dinner to it.
The top end is 12, the same as every trip we run. That isn't a marketing number. It's the most people we can move in three cars and seat at one table without anyone shouting down the far end. If you're a person or two over, ring us before you assume it won't work. [[NEEDS INPUT: policy for groups over 12, if any]]
Couples get a double. Adults travelling on their own can share a twin with another adult in the group, with no supplement, or have their own room and pay the single supplement. That's [[NEEDS INPUT: single supplement]], and we say it up front rather than hide it.
Kids go in family rooms or interconnecting rooms where the property has them, so they're through a door rather than down a corridor. If you'd rather have the whole group under one roof, an exclusive-use villa does exactly that, and you decide who sleeps where. Tell us who's coming on the form and we'll send you a room plan before you pay a cent.
Yes. That's what this trip is built for. On split-track days the two of them are on different tracks, and on the days everyone's together the car goes back to base the moment anyone's had enough, while the rest carry on.
The longest walk on the 14-day is about 1.2km on mostly flat ground at Tirta Gangga, with benches along the way [[NEEDS INPUT: confirm]]. Most days involve less than 20 minutes on your feet at any one time. Tell us about knees, hips and sticks on the form and we'll book ground-floor rooms where the property has them. If anyone in the group uses a wheelchair, ring us before you book so we can be straight with you about which stays and stops work and which don't.
No. Coeliac, diabetic, vegetarian, halal, a toddler who only eats white food. We collect everyone's requirements once, before you fly, and your guide briefs every kitchen before you sit down.
Most of the places we eat are family-run and cook to order, which is easier for dietary needs than a hotel buffet ever is. Breakfast at the hotels is the one meal where you'll be choosing for yourself, and there's always a plain option. If anyone has a serious allergy, put it on the form and we'll talk it through on the phone, because we'd rather over-prepare than find out at the table.
The honest answer is: earlier than you think. [[NEEDS INPUT: recommended lead time for private groups, e.g. 6 to 9 months]] gives you the most choice.
Three things take the time. Flights for up to twelve people from two or three different cities, sitting together where it matters. Exclusive-use villas, which go early in the dry season from April to October. And the people in your group, who all need to say yes to the same dates.
If your date's closer than that, ring anyway. It sometimes works, and we'd rather tell you straight than have you wonder.
This isn't a booking. It's the start of a conversation with [[NEEDS INPUT: founder first name]], who'll tell you honestly whether the dates work and what it will cost.
Or ring. [[NEEDS INPUT: phone number]], Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm AEST. Groups are easier to sort out in ten minutes on the phone than in ten emails.
Have a real conversation with [[NEEDS INPUT: founder first name]] — no sales pitch, no obligation. Tell him who’s coming and what you’re after, and he’ll tell you honestly which package fits, or whether now’s the wrong time of year.
