The Seed, a 6,400 square meter Luxury Private Villa Estate located in Candidasa, East Bali, has selected Amy Lingga as its new CEO. This leadership change comes as The Seed positions itself to become one of the premier luxury hospitality estates on the island of Bali while also establishing similar properties throughout the Indonesian Archipelago. The focus of the hospitality estate will be to provide a unique and personalized destination to guests where service and design emphasize and celebrate the culture and geography of the region.

Built on a vision of personalised and meaningful luxury, The Seed moves beyond traditional concepts of size and extravagance. The estate focuses on creating an emotional connection between guests and their surroundings, allowing every stay to reflect the natural beauty and tranquillity of Bali. Each villa has been thoughtfully positioned to blend with its environment, whether overlooking the ocean, surrounded by lush gardens, or hidden within the jungle landscape. From individual villa bookings to full estate experiences, guests are immersed in the peaceful charm of Candidasa from the moment they arrive.

The property’s design reflects this philosophy through a collection of distinctive experiences and private amenities created exclusively for guests. The estate features an oceanfront swimming pool complete with a five-metre diving platform, cascading jungle pools, a private waterfall, a dedicated yoga shala, infrared sauna, cold plunge facilities, an oceanside cinema, a professional music recording studio, and a 90-square-metre soundproof entertainment basement.

These carefully curated spaces are designed to deliver a level of privacy, comfort, and creativity that sets The Seed apart within Bali’s luxury hospitality landscape.

Combining exceptional privacy with authentic island exploration, The Seed provides guests with access to some of Bali’s most exclusive experiences. Bespoke adventures include private helicopter journeys, customised yacht charters, and private on-site kecak performances that celebrate the island’s rich cultural heritage.

By bringing together adventure, tradition, nature, and personalised service, The Seed creates a seamless luxury retreat where guests can experience both the untouched spirit of Bali and the highest standards of modern hospitality.

“True luxury is not about excess. It is about intention, quiet, and living in harmony with the land. As we grow, our
focus is to protect that core experience while carrying that same level of distinction into new destinations across
Indonesia.”— Amy Lingga, Chief Executive Officer, The Seed.

A Local Leader Bringing A New Vision To The Brand

Amy Lingga brings a strong connection to Bali and the local community, with deep family ties to Karangasem, the same region where The Seed is located. With more than two decades of experience in the hospitality industry, she has built her career across luxury hotels and international hospitality brands, progressing from guest experience roles to leadership positions spanning public relations, sales and marketing, event management, general management, and multi-property operations.

Her extensive journey has given her a broad understanding of both the operational side of luxury hospitality and the importance of creating meaningful experiences that build lasting guest connections. Throughout her career, Amy Lingga’s achievements have received recognition across global and Asia Pacific hospitality platforms.

In her new role as Chief Executive Officer, Amy Lingga will focus on strengthening The Seed’s position as one of Bali’s most distinctive niche luxury destinations while contributing to the growth and development of Karangasem, the community she has long been connected with. Her leadership will centre on refining the estate’s signature experiences, preserving its unique philosophy, enhancing its peaceful atmosphere, and creating personalised stays that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

The Seed Prepares For Its Next Growth Phase Across Indonesia

While The Seed’s Candidasa estate remains the brand’s flagship property, the luxury villa concept is preparing for expansion into new destinations across Indonesia. The growth strategy will not rely on a standardised approach but will instead adapt The Seed’s core principles of authentic connection to place, thoughtful design, and personalised hospitality to different landscapes and destinations.

With Amy Lingga leading the next chapter, The Seed aims to strengthen its reputation in Bali while carrying its defining values of tranquillity, creativity, exceptional service, and immersive experiences into carefully selected locations across Indonesia. The expansion will focus on preserving the brand’s original spirit while introducing guests to unique luxury retreats shaped by the character of each destination.

“Every destination across Indonesia carries its own voice, beauty, and rhythm. As our journey unfolds, my focus is to honor those local roots while ensuring every new space carries the same care, identity, and quiet serenity our guests have come to know in Candidasa.” — Amy Lingga, Chief Executive Officer, The Seed.
