A Magical Milestone On The Karma Journey

This month, we are quietly celebrating a remarkable milestone at Karma Group: our global family has now surpassed 100,000+ active Members worldwide. This extraordinary number is testament not to numbers but to a shared ethos that places Karma Group at the vanguard of luxury lifestyle and experiential travel. 

It’s there in our barefoot approach to luxury — an elegant blend of effortless comfort, genuine service, and meaningful connection to each destination. And it’s there in our dedication to entertainment, our endless curiosity about the world and to creating experiences in it. 

From the serene beaches of Bali to the sun-dappled vineyards of Tuscany to Kerala’s inland waterways among scores of other singular destinations,  our Karma Curated experiences unfold like carefully crafted stories: private dinners under starlit skies, intimate cultural tours, and moments designed to awaken a deeper sense of place.

Our global portfolio of resorts, restaurants, beach clubs and spas continues to win the highest industry accolades – as do the staff who run them.

And at the helm through this 30+ year journey has been Karma Group Chairman John Spence. “Never when I began this adventure did I dream that we would be where we are today… Our Members love our products and our community – and we love them. It’s merely the beginning”.

What’s equally compelling is the way in which Karma Group has grown: organically,  privately owned, free from debt and consistently driven by entrepreneurial and philanthropic spirit. For you, our Members, Karma Group isn’t just about travel; it’s a lifestyle defined by bespoke journeys and a global community bound by trust and curiosity.

As we enter a new chapter in our journey,  the promise endures—more destinations to explore, more memories to create, and a continued celebration of understated luxury and wholesome hedonism.

  1. Congratulations on great achievement of being 1 lakh + members family. I have been small part of this wonderful organisation for past 20 yrs, from RGBC to Odyssey and now to brand Karma. Addition of new properties and service experienced during last so many years instigated our family to extend and continue our membership for next 30 years. Wish you all the best for future progress, as aptly said ‘Karma returns ‘

    1. Dear Suryakant Maskar. Thank you so much for your heartfelt message and for being a cherished part of our journey for the past 20 years – from RGBC to Odyssey and now to Karma. Your continued trust and support, along with your decision to extend your membership for another 30 years, mean the world to us!

      We’re delighted that you’ve enjoyed the addition of new properties and the experiences our team has created for your family over the years. Your wishes and kind words truly inspire us to keep growing and delivering memorable holidays – because, as you beautifully said, “Karma returns.”

  2. I just wonder if the member numbers should be capped. It is already hard to get into the destinations at the time you want and at the price you want.
    Divide the numbe of destinations into 100k and the answer is glaringly obvious.
    The number of new acquisitions is keeping up with the number of new members. It was only a couple of years ago it hit 80k.
    Come on John, let’s not get too greedy.
