Love is in the air – but it’s also in the gentle lapping of waves on soft white sands, the golden light of desert sunsets, and the crisp mountain air of snow-capped peaks. As we look ahead to Valentine’s, here are a few of our favourite destinations that are sure to bring out the romantic in you.
How could we not start with Bali, where romance blooms year-round at Karma Kandara: think cliff-top luxury villas, panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, world class fine dining and more. Then explore the aching beauty of rural Bali – volcanoes, rice paddy fields, mossy temples, pretty villages, colourful ceremonies – you’ll fall in love all over again. Elevate your Valentine’s experience with our specially curated itinerary at Karma Kandara, featuring spa & dine, cocktail gatherings and even a moonrise paella party!

Just a little further north, Thailand’s Koh Samui offers its own brand of romance at Karma Panalee, where tropical gardens meet powder-white beaches and our brand new Two Palms Beach Club. Evening walks along moonlit shores followed by authentic Thai massages, fiery street food, temple visits and island hopping adventures make this a lovers’ dream.
For some snow, not sand, sets the heart on fire: head to the Bavarian Alps for a fairytale escape at Karma Bavaria. Think horse-drawn sleigh rides through snow-laden forests surrounded by snowy peaks, followed by cosy evenings by roaring fires with mulled wine in hand.
In India’s Rajasthan, Karma Seven Lakes captures the essence of royal romance in Udaipur, the ‘Venice of the East’. Watch the sun set over Lake Pichola from your haveli balcony, or dine under the stars in centuries-old palace gardens.
Other global romantic hotspots include the lavender fields of Provence, the rolling hills of Tuscany, Greece’s Aegean islands, the mist-shrouded mountains of Japan’s Kyoto, and the wild coastal cliffs of Ireland’s Connemara. In the end of course, true romance isn’t about where you are – it’s about who you’re with. Happy Valentine’s!
