We’re still four months out from festive season, but behind the scenes in the Karmaverse, plans are already afoot for a genre defining edition of 12 Days of Karma across our global family of resorts. And since it pays to plan your end of year holidays well in advance, here’s a quick sneak peek of some of the things you can look forward to:
From 23 December 2024, to 03 January 2025, our Karma properties around the world will transform into magical holiday havens, each offering a unique blend of local charm and festive cheer.
Karma Kandara: Festive Season Paradise
Imagine waking up to the sound of gentle waves, the warm Bali sun streaming through your window, as you prepare for a day of festive indulgence. At Karma Kandara, perched on the stunning cliffs of Uluwatu, we’ve crafted a 12-day journey that embodies the very essence of a luxurious holiday escape.
Your adventure begins with an unforgettable Christmas Eve Dinner, where our chefs have prepared a feast that marries traditional holiday flavours with exotic Balinese cuisine. It’s just the beginning of a culinary journey that will tantalise your taste buds throughout your stay.
Each morning, greet the day with invigorating yoga sessions overlooking the Indian Ocean, or if you’re feeling energetic, join our Muay Thai classes. For those moments when relaxation calls, Karma Spa is ready to pamper you with special holiday treatments.
We haven’t forgotten about the little ones either – the Three Monkeys Kids Club has a program brimming with festive crafts, games, and adventures that will keep them entertained and create lasting memories. The pinnacle of this year’s celebration is the New Year’s Eve Gala, where we’ll transport you to the eternal city of Rome. Immerse yourself in a night of captivating performances, savour gourmet Italian cuisine, and revel in entertainment that pays homage to ancient traditions. As the clock strikes midnight, raise a glass with your Karma family, toasting to new beginnings against the backdrop of Bali’s starlit sky.
A Classic Continental Festive Season
The spirit of 12 Days of Karma extends across our global properties, each offering its own unique holiday magic…
At Karma Bavaria, embrace the charm of a traditional European Christmas. Picture yourself cozied up by the fireplace after a day’s trekking, skiing or sledding on the snow-capped slopes, mulled wine in hand, surrounded by the warmth of your Karma family.

Here, you can celebrate Hogmanay in true Scottish style with world class whiskies, fine wines and the award-winning cuisine of chef Joe Peden, as well as enjoying serene walks along the lakeshore or the Trossachs countryside, taking in the crisp Winter air and stunning natural beauty.
