Personalized Trip planning
Whether you’re arriving early, staying on after a retreat, or planning a standalone adventure, our Personalized Trip Planning service helps you design a fun and smooth trip tailored to your exact wants with less structure compared to our retreat packages.
Shaped by years of on-the-ground experience in each of our locations, our priority is to help you access meaningful experiences beyond the main tourist track, always with care and respect for place.
A fully personalized travel planning service designed around you. We help you move through a new place with ease and without the overwhelm of figuring everything out on your own. We connect you with our favorite places, eats, and people to make your stay extra memorable!
Trips can range from a few days to a couple of weeks (or longer), and can take place in Indonesia, Brazil, or anywhere we have trusted local connections.

We spend a lot of time getting to know the places we travel to — the people, the rhythms, and the details that make a place feel special. This allows us to design experiences that go beyond the typical itinerary — thoughtful, unhurried, and locally rooted — the way we believe travel should feel. Through our personalized travel planning, you gain access to this local knowledge and perspective.
The regions surrounding our retreat locations offer far more than can be experienced in a single week. From diving and waterfalls to temples, volcano hikes, and small village towns, there’s so much to explore, but it’s not always obvious where to go, how to get around, or how to connect it all in a way that feels smooth and intentional.
Every trip is custom-created. This is a done-for-you service where we design your trip based on your preferences, manage all bookings, and provide a finalized itinerary so you can simply arrive and enjoy your time.
Why Book Travel planning with us?
Our retreats are guided, structured experiences with coaching and a set schedule.
This is a personalized travel planning service — not a package. We focus on designing your trip and guiding the process, while you retain full flexibility and independence during your travels.
How this is different than our Retreats?
Terms & Conditions:
Payment is made in 2 payments (50% to begin, remainder upon completion). Planning begins once the initial payment is received. Final itinerary is delivered after full payment. Pricing includes up to 2 travelers. Custom pricing available for larger groups or more complex trips.
Santai assists with coordinating and facilitating reservations based on your itinerary. All bookings are confirmed and paid directly by the guest (accommodations, transport providers, and activity operators). More complex, multi-region itineraries or extended coordination may be discussed and quoted separately in advance, if needed.
