A Night of White
Saturday 9 October 2027
Potato Head · Seminyak, Bali
Welcome
Forty years, and only one way I want to mark it — good people, one long weekend, Bali.
The theme is A Night of White. Think crisp whites, relaxed tailoring and linen under the sunset. No fuss, no formality — just a good-looking crowd by the ocean.
Everything you need to plan the trip is on this page. Come for the weekend or make a holiday of it — either way, it means a lot to have you there.
See you in Bali

Where to Stay
The recommendation
Stay at Potato Head
This is the one weekend where I want everyone in the same place. Potato Head is a self-contained destination: suites, restaurants, bars, spa, pools and beach access all woven into one property. It has become one of Bali's most talked-about stays because the experience is considered from start to finish — design, food, music and sustainability all treated seriously.
Potato Head Suites sits above it all. Wake up, walk downstairs, and the day is already there — breakfast, a swim, a massage, sunset drinks, dinner. No taxis, no logistics, no chance of anyone getting lost. That ease is exactly why I want the group here: the whole weekend becomes one long gathering instead of a series of separate plans.
- —Suites and studios with private balconies
- —Multiple restaurants, bars and beachfront dining
- —Spa, gym, yoga and multiple pools
- —Direct beach and Beach Club access
- —In-room dining and 24-hour concierge
- —The centre of the group for the whole weekend
A group booking link will be provided.
Make a Holiday of It
Stay for a week or two
The group events run Thursday to Saturday, but having everyone fly across the world for one weekend is almost criminal. If you can, extend the trip. Use Potato Head as your base for the celebration, then ease into proper holiday mode — mornings by the pool, spa treatments, day trips to Ubud or Uluwatu, and long dinners that drift into the night.
This kind of gathering does not happen often. Make the most of it.
The Neighbourhood
Potato Head Beach Club, Jl. Petitenget No.51B, Seminyak — hotels, cafés and ATMs are all within a short walk.
More than a venue
The Potato Head Experience
Potato Head is a complete destination in itself. The idea is simple: everything you want for the weekend is already here, so the group can actually spend time together instead of coordinating rides across Bali.
Stay
Potato Head Suites sits above the beach club. Spacious rooms, private balconies, and direct access to the pools, restaurants and spa below.
Eat
A handful of restaurants under one roof — Indonesian flavours at Kaum, sustainable seafood at Ijen, plant-based menus at Tanaman, plus beachside grills and bars.
Restore
Spa treatments, a gym, yoga sessions and multiple pools mean you can recover from travel, reset after a late night, or just do nothing at all.
Beach Club
Daybeds by the pool, sunset drinks, and direct beach access. This is where the group naturally gathers before the evening events even begin.
Design & Sustainability
Built differently
Potato Head is known for its striking architecture, curated music program and a serious commitment to sustainability — from zero-waste restaurants to materials sourced across Indonesia. It feels considered, not commercial. That is exactly the tone for the weekend.
