The Place Retreats

Founded in 2015 by psychotherapist Jean-Claude Chalmet, The Place Retreats is a private residential retreat in Seminyak, on the west coast of Bali. The center supports individuals, couples, and families with mind, body, and spiritual healing, offering retreats for trauma and emotional healing, executive burnout, and couples and inter-generational therapy.

Combine Psychotherapy With Holistic Healing

Care blends psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and family therapy, with practices such as yoga, breathwork, clinical hypnotherapy, acupuncture, and bodywork. The team supports people with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional abuse, burnout, grief, addiction, and personality disorders. An in-house psychiatrist and 24/7 on-site nursing provide medical oversight throughout the stay.

Address the Root Causes of Suffering

The program focuses on the root causes of mental and emotional suffering, including past trauma. In a safe, compassionate environment, clients work through their experiences from a position of strength and learn physical, emotional, and psychological techniques to start fresh. Personal fitness training and nutrition plans from the resident chef support whole-person recovery.

Stay in a Private Bali Sanctuary

Guests stay in one of 18 air-conditioned king-size rooms with en-suite bathrooms, set near tropical gardens and swimming pools. Staff arrange meals, airport pickup, transportation, laundry, and activities, and a concierge team helps with excursions and visa support. The location is a short walk from the beach, spas, and restaurants.
