We are just weeks away from Christmas and New Year’s Eve and once again, the ’12 Days of Karma’ will be hosted simultaneously at Karma Group destinations around the world. The ‘12 Days of Karma’ honours one of the most meaningful season of the year with a non-stop program of sparkling events, decadent cuisine, wellness and outdoor adventures and fun-filled kids activities – all in luxury surroundings. Here’s a glimpse of activities happening around the world…
Celebrate the Festive Season at tropical Karma Kandara in Bali
Make lifetime memories with friends and family within the spacious grounds of one of Bali’s most desired luxury villa resort settings. The festive program begins with the signature lighting tradition where guests are invited for cocktails to observe the ceremonial lighting of the Christmas tree. The festive program makes the most of Karma Kandara’s exclusive beachside location with a host of seaside events including ‘Game On’ beach games and BBQ’s as well as kids programs hosted by the ‘3 Monkeys Kids Club’. From the moment of arrival, guests will be invited to an array of unique culinary offerings. Ring in 2022 in style and dance until the early hours of the night to International DJ’s.
Feasts and Festivities at Karma Salford Hall – UK
The anticipation around the Karma Group’s first Christmas celebration at the newly opened Karma Salford Hall is building and with good reason. Karma Christmas at this historical hotel includes a full array of events. Enjoy white Christmas martinis at the ‘Fireside Carols’ held on Christmas Eve, a group five mile ‘Round Evesham Walk’ followed by afternoon tea, plus memorable experiences including real life reindeers. HIghlights include a 1920’s themed New Year’s Eve party that will be held in the marquee, a cocktail masterclass and a New Year’s Day ‘Recovery Brunch’. There will be plenty of festive cocktails making this program one to remember!
Experience a magical Christmas at Karma Bavaria in Germany
We’re anticipating another magical Christmas at Karma Bavaria resort this season. Afterall, winter is such a special time to celebrate this meaningful time of the year – snow-capped mountains and a possible ski or two! The festive program here consists of a full range of brunches, lunches and dinners and a fabulous NYE Gala dinner! Culinary feast themes range from an Alpine to maritime and hangover breakfasts. Meet and mingle over champagne and fresh oysters on ice at the Wolpertinger Bar. There will be traditional ‘12 days of Cocktails’ to sample (all curated with local herbs) and cozy up around the fire and indulge in homemade cookies, marshmallows, mulled wine, hot chocolate, and plenty of Schnaps!
Christmas festivities across India
Across India, Karma Group resorts will host a full array of carefully curated festive events and activities to be enjoyed by the entire family.

Over at Karma Royal Palms resort, join in on beach yoga sessions, Latin dance workshops, movie nights by the pool, and dress up for a New Year’s Eve Gala dinner. At Karma Royal MonteRio, it’s all about kayak adventures, spice and heritage tours but come evening and Members can express their wild side with Karaoke and open live mic sessions. Staying at Karma Chakra? There will be amazing houseboat journeys, treasure hunts, lakeside yoga and meditation, a waterside Christmas Eve party and a poolside New Years Eve Gala dinner under the stars.
