Where can I find a villa for a mastermind in Bali?

Short answer

For a mastermind, Canggu, Pererenan and Berawa suit groups that want Bali's entrepreneur scene and cafés nearby, while Uluwatu and the hills around Ubud suit a more focused, secluded format. The villa needs one room or pavilion where the whole group can sit in a circle, fast wifi with backup power, and ideally a private ensuite room for each participant.

In detail

Canggu and its neighbours Pererenan and Berawa are Bali's main hub for remote workers, coworking spaces and networking events, which helps if you invite local speakers or plan evenings out. Uluwatu and the Ubud hills cut distractions but add drive time to every outing.

Masterminds run on long sessions, so check that the meeting space is shaded, ventilated or air-conditioned, and quiet in the daytime. Ask for a recent speed test, a second internet line or mobile backup, and a generator: the island-wide blackout of 2 May 2025 cut power for several hours.

Bali is on UTC+8, which suits participants from Asia and Australia. Europeans who still run their businesses during the stay will see their working day fall in the Bali afternoon and evening, so plan sessions in the morning.

Attending business meetings is among the purposes of Indonesia's visa on arrival, but organisers and speakers paid to deliver the programme should check with an immigration professional. Foreign retreat leaders have already been deported for unauthorised work on a visa on arrival.
