About Istana - Wellness - Rehabilitation Redefined, Ultraluxury
Istana Bali is an ultra-private rehabilitation sanctuary, where privacy is absolute and care is bespoke for one client at a time. This is a world built for the client, not a program they have to adapt to. The team, treatment, private residence, and every detail of every day are built entirely around who the client is and where they want to arrive. Their treatment plan will be fascinating, life-changing, enjoyable and, above all, effective.
Experience Clinical Precision with a Human Touch
In each bespoke, one-to-one programme, Istana Bali blends three interconnected elements: medical excellence, progressive psychotherapy, and holistic reconnection. They place equal emphasis on the calibre of treatments and how those treatments are delivered: with compassion, empathy, and human connection. Through a relationship of mutual trust and understanding, the client works with their psychotherapist to reveal the root cause of issues and resolve destructive thoughts, feelings and behaviours. They also align mind, body, and heart through nature, nutrition, exercise, holistic practices, and recreational experiences for a future defined by joy and hope.
Retreat into a Secluded Sanctuary
Each ultra-luxury residence is handpicked to surpass the client’s needs and expectations, and set within a natural landscape that is both beautiful and private. Tailored to feel like home, each villa has at least five bedrooms, a pool, spacious grounds, and ample room for treatment and relaxation. A personal chef and nutritionist shop daily for fresh, local ingredients, creating elegant menus that address nutritional deficiencies while consistently delighting the senses.
Benefit From Ongoing Support
Prior to departure, each client receives a bespoke aftercare plan curated from extensive options. Ongoing support can range from a team of two personnel discreetly accompanying the client home as they reacclimatise, to an extended period in an Istana halfway-house, to remote online consults with their psychotherapist and complementary therapists of their choice.

Further Research
Will my stay be confidential?
Client privacy is Istana’s highest priority. They have no fixed address. Rather than operating from known premises, they secure a private villa exclusively for each client, with no signage, no branding and no connection to Istana visible to the outside world. There are no shared spaces, no other clients, no chance encounters. First names only throughout. All records deleted on departure. Every team member signs an NDA before arrival. There is nothing to trace, because there is nothing fixed to find.
How quickly can a placement be arranged?
Admission time is normally 7-10 days. However, in some circumstances, Istana can have a villa secured, a clinical team assembled and everything in place within 48 hours or less.
How much will the treatment cost?
Every client programme is bespoke, therefore costs are determined by variables including: clinical composition of the treating team, duration, enhanced security, and upgraded accommodation requests. The quoted price will be all-inclusive with the exception of international travel, unplanned medical expenses, and high-value recreational activities such as yacht charter or helicopter hire. As a guide, services in Bali start at USD $45,000 per week.
What does a typical day at Istana look like?
There is no fixed typical day, yet most stays have a natural rhythm. Mornings begin with space, breakfast prepared by a personal chef, time by the pool, movement that feels restorative rather than prescribed. Clinical sessions, psychotherapy, psychiatry, complementary therapies are woven throughout the day at a pace the clinical team calibrates with the client. Professional commitments are accommodated. Evenings are open.
What if I need to attend to business or personal obligations while at Istana?
While Istana encourages the client to dedicate as much time and concentration as possible to their recovery, flexibility is a cornerstone of the programme. They understand the client may need to schedule teleconferences, attend to correspondence, or even leave the programme for short periods.
