Bali : the Return of Paradise Island

Last year, Bali welcomed a total of just 41 international tourists as the world weathered the worst of the pandemic. Well, it’s 2022 now, vaccine rollouts are in full effect and Bali’s borders are well and truly open, ready to welcome back visitors to its fabled shores – with quarantine down to 3 days only.

Bali is a tropical island destination like no other. Balinese culture is unique – a kaleidoscope of hindu, animist and buddhist beliefs with its own unique mythologies. Every day in Bali there is a colourful ceremony going on somewhere on the island. Then there are the volcanoes that stand like sentinels, their slopes covered in iridescent rice paddies, orchards, coffee plantations and thick rainforest.

There are volcanic black sand beaches and white sand beaches on Bali’s southernmost peninsula, the Bukit, villages nestled in valleys with mossy stone temples round every corner, great Banyan trees, bustling markets and every kind of art and craft imaginable – especially around Ubud, the island’s artistic and cultural hub. 

In the southern resort enclaves, you’ll find a sophisticated and cosmopolitan mix of eateries, bars, beach clubs and concert venues that give the likes of Mykonos or Ibiza more than a run for their money.

Here at Karma Group, we’ve used the downtime to ensure that our Bali resorts are safe and primed for your arrival, leading the way in vaccinating our staff, their families and the surrounding community.  Even better, our flagship resort Karma Kandara – set on limestone cliffs in a neighbourhood often dubbed Bali Billionaire’s Row –  is approved to accommodate guests for the three days isolation – turning quarantine into pure pleasure in an expansive luxury pool villa with five-star resort service right on your doorstep and jaw-dropping views to boot!

  1. We have bookings for Karma Jimbaran, Karma Royal Candidasa and KR Jimbaran for September & October. What are our quarantine options if we are not going to Kandara?
    Thanks

    1. Hi Nigel, rules are rapidly changing and decreasing – quarantine is currently down to only 3 days!! We expect by May time there will be no quarantine at all! If you do have to quarantine for a couple of days, we will assist closer to your travel date

    1. Hi Natalia, to enter Indonesia at the moment you need to present evidence that you have received two doses of the vaccine; exemptions are for those under the age of 18 or if you have medical reasoning – In which you have to provide a hospital letter stating so. The negative PCR is alongside being doubly vaccinated!

  2. Is the 3 day isolation period for everyone? I see it says 5 days on most websites?
    I am coming from South Africa and want to return to Karma Kandara in June.

    1. Hi Grant, yes 3 days is the latest update from the government – it may be that websites stating 5 days have not yet been updated as regulations are rapidly changing. We expect and hope that by April/May there will be no quarantine at all!

  3. Hi, I am flying to Karma Kandra end of may. Do you think the quarantine rules will change? If not will the hotel support with quarantine?
    How does the new rule of applying for visa work. Does the hotel support as a guarantor or apply on behalf of the passenger?

    1. Hi Nolan, quarantine rules are currently 3 days for fully vaccinated travellers (including booster), we hope and suspect that by April there will be no quarantine at all. Please kindly email us with your Member number and we can assist in more detail with visa and quarantine queries!

  4. How do we know when and how much the Visa required to gain entry into Bali works. We are permanent resiednts of Australia although we travel on British Passports.
