Plan・Do・See Launches First Overseas Hotel Project with Full Investment, Development, and Operation Responsibilities; Inheriting the Villa Estate of Made Wijaya, "The Sayan Terrace" to Open in Bali's Sayan Valley in 2028

Plan・Do・See Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) will open a luxury hotel, tentatively named "The Sayan Terrace," in the Ubud area of Bali, Indonesia, in 2028.

This project marks a new milestone for Plan・Do・See, building upon the business foundation of Plan・Do・See Indonesia, which has fostered relationships with the local community through restaurants, villas, and dining centered on Japanese food culture since its expansion into Bali in 2014. It will be the first time Plan・Do・See independently handles all aspects of a hotel project overseas, from investment and development to operation.

The site is a villa estate in the Sayan Valley, once cherished as a creative base by landscape designer Made Wijaya, who popularized "Balinese magic" worldwide. Plan・Do・See will inherit this location, loved by Wijaya, who influenced Balinese resort culture and landscape development, and transform it into a hotel for the next era, creating a stay experience that connects the land's nature, culture, and accumulated time to the future.

SUPER POTATO, a world-renowned spatial design firm with villas in Ubud and a portfolio of numerous projects across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, will be responsible for the spatial design.

Plan・Do・See's 14-Year Journey in Indonesia and a New Milestone

Since expanding into Indonesia in 2014, Plan・Do・See has developed restaurants, villas, and dining establishments focused on Japanese food culture, while deeply respecting local culture, nature, and people's lives, nurturing experiential value that leverages the unique charm of each location. The journey of Plan・Do・See Indonesia has been about building trust and accumulating rooted businesses while growing with the community, rather than solely aiming for business expansion.

The knowledge and network cultivated through gastronomy, bars, and accommodation businesses that have been loved by locals and travelers worldwide, meticulously weaving together the charm of the land, will all be brought together to create "The Sayan Terrace," opening in 2028, as the next chapter for Plan・Do・See Indonesia.

This project will be Plan・Do・See's first hotel project overseas where it will consistently handle investment, development, and operation. Based on the trust built with the community over approximately 14 years and a deep understanding of the land, we will pass on the unique value of the Sayan Valley to the future and deliver new stay experiences to travelers worldwide.

The Sayan Valley, Cherished by "Balinese Magic" Pioneer Made Wijaya – Inheriting the Land's Memory for the Future

"The Sayan Terrace" will be born in the Sayan Valley, an area within Ubud where rich nature remains vibrant.

This place was a special location where Made Wijaya, who designed numerous Asian resorts in Bali and worldwide and spread local landscape design globally, nurtured his creative inspiration and cherished as his own villa estate.

Plan・Do・See will inherit the nature, culture, and accumulated time nurtured by this land and pass on its value to the next generation as a luxury hotel for a new era.

Spatial Design by SUPER POTATO, Connecting the Land's Value to the Future

SUPER POTATO, a world-renowned spatial design firm with villas in Ubud and a portfolio of numerous projects across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, will be responsible for the spatial design. Founder Takashi Sugimoto had a deep affection for Ubud during his lifetime, owning a villa there and visiting frequently for art and crafts, demonstrating a profound understanding of the land's culture, nature, and aesthetic sensibilities.

In this project, SUPER POTATO, carrying on that philosophy, will carefully interpret the majestic nature of the Sayan Valley and the land's memories cherished by Made Wijaya, maximizing the appeal of natural materials such as wood, stone, and earth to create a timeless modern luxury space.

A Stay Experience Facing the Sayan Valley with All 44 Rooms as Suites

"The Sayan Terrace" will offer a stay experience where each guest can deeply immerse themselves in the nature and tranquility of the Sayan Valley, with all 44 rooms designed as spacious suites.

The rooms will be available in six types, including the "Duplex Suite With Private Onsen" equipped with a private pool and sauna, the "Deluxe Suite" for a close connection with Ubud's nature, and the "Corner Suite" and "The Sayan Terrace Suite" offering panoramic views of the valley.

The hotel will feature a "Thermal Spring" wellness facility integrated with nature, a pool overlooking the valley, a library, and a gym. The main dining and bar lounge will offer Plan・Do・See's unique culinary experiences, drawing on over 10 years of expertise cultivated at "The Sayan House" and experience in modernly curating Japanese cuisine such as sushi and Japanese tea in Jakarta and Bali.

The Business Foundation Nurtured by Plan・Do・See Indonesia

"The Sayan Terrace" is not just a single hotel project.

It is born from the extension of Plan・Do・See Indonesia's approximately 14-year journey since its expansion in 2014, building trust with the community through diverse businesses such as restaurants, bars, accommodation, and dining centered on Japanese food culture, and nurturing the unique charm of the land.

It leads to the overseas-first integrated investment, development, and operation hotel project "The Sayan Terrace," by bringing together the knowledge, network, and hospitality cultivated in each business loved by locals and travelers worldwide.

The following are the main businesses operated by Plan・Do・See Indonesia in Bali and Jakarta.

The Sayan House (Bali)
