Private Bali Sourcing Intensive — A Sourcing Trip for Renovations & New Builds.

Applications are now open for the Private Bali Sourcing Trip with The Designory (dates TBA).

This is a high-value, no-fluff, hands-on sourcing experience designed specifically around you and your project. It is not a passive retreat — it is an intensive, highly customised working trip focused on helping you source better, spend smarter, and elevate the outcome of your renovation or build.

Bali is one of the few places in the world where scale, craftsmanship and creativity intersect — offering builders and renovators the opportunity to source distinctive materials and custom pieces that simply don’t exist in the domestic market, at a fraction of the cost.

Led by Melissa Bonney, this sourcing trip is created for people planning a renovation, extension, or new build who want direct access to Bali’s exceptional craftsmanship, materials, supplier and maker network — without the overwhelm, guesswork, or costly mistakes.

If you’re preparing for a project and want to source tiles, stone, timber, fixtures, and custom pieces — this trip is for you. Build Smarter, Design Better

What makes this trip different

  • Highly customised to your project
    Every sourcing trip is planned and organised around the group’s specific sourcing objectives — from tiles, stone, and timber to fixtures, finishes, and custom-made pieces.

  • Extensive 1:1 guidance
    Melissa leads the trip and provides individual advice and guidance on sourcing for your project — helping you make confident decisions that save money while significantly elevating design outcomes.

  • All value, no fluff
    This is practical, strategic, and deeply focused on real project outcomes — not inspiration for inspiration’s sake.

  • Unlocks Access

    We will unlock access to local suppliers, makers and artisans, as well as draw extensively on the knowledge of Bali builders, designers and developers to source products to suit your specific project.

  • Getting your goods home

    Our trusted freight forwarders will organise everything for you from small deliveries to full containers saving you the stress, money and time!

Who it’s for

If you are preparing a renovation, extension, or new build and want to:

  • Source high-quality materials and custom elements at a fraction of the cost

  • Understand how to access extensive product ranges, make clear choices and buy well in Bali

  • Avoid costly sourcing and shipping mistakes

  • Achieve a more considered, elevated result aligned with your vision

— this trip is designed for you.

Limited places

This retreat is offered to a maximum of 6 participants to ensure a deeply personalised experience where everyone receives the 1:1 attention required to achieve the best sourcing and project outcomes.
