The year has only just started and we’ve already got a slew of standout Karma Curated Experiences on the books for 2025. Check out some highlights from January and early February – from thrilling winter sports in the Himalayas to sophisticated James Bond-inspired adventures in Udaipur and our debut supper club gathering, these Karma Curated journeys blend luxury, culture, cuisine and adventure.
Himalayan Skiing & Winter Carnival (4-8 February)
This five-day Himalayan adventure perfectly balanced adrenaline with cultural immersion. Members experienced expert-guided skiing on Solang Valley’s pristine slopes, followed by thrilling zip-line activities at the dramatic Hampta Pass. A highlight was the journey through a 9km high-altitude tunnel to Lahaul Valley, showcasing modern engineering amid ancient landscapes. Traditional entertainment featured nightly bonfires, local dance performances, and soulful music by artist Sudip. “The blend of adventure and local culture was extraordinary,” shared one participating Member.
James Bond’s Udaipur (3-6 February)
This meticulously curated experience transformed Udaipur into a 007 playground. Personal touches included customized room collages and framed City Palace photos as keepsakes. Members savored authentic Mewar cuisine while enjoying traditional music (tabla, santoor, bansuri) performed by local artists. The City Palace tour revealed centuries of royal history, while the Monsoon Palace offered panoramic city views. The experience peaked with James Bond martinis on a rooftop terrace and a romantic dinner at Jagmandir island. “The attention to detail and Bond touches made this unforgettable,” remarked a participating Member.
White Heat Supper Club (January 31)
This sophisticated evening paid homage to classic British and French cuisine. The four course menu featured standout dishes like fricassee of sea scallops with ginger and sauce nero, and tagliatelle of oysters with caviar. A carefully selected Bourgogne Pinot Noir complemented the braised pigs trotter. Members praised the “sophisticated and classic culinary experience rarely found in modern restaurants.”
Karma Long Lunch: Perth (January 27)
Forty-five members gathered in Fremantle for what Gerald Wallace described as a “fabulous day.” The event featured bottomless beverages and a three-course feast, with Karma executives including Concierge GM David Hadson joining the celebrations. Jeff Zoontjens noted, “The Karma representatives were extremely welcoming and informative… it really did feel like a Karma family”.
“Fabulous day. Enjoyed lovely long lunch , meeting & seeing Members from travels to Karma resorts again”.

“Thank you for a lovely day. Apart from meeting so many likeminded people I was grateful for answers to questions regarding my fractional ownership. I feel privileged to be part of the Karma family.”
– BERYL FRANCIS, Karma Group Member since 2014
“We were very lucky to be able to attend this wonderful event. Thanks to Charlotte, Kirsty, Suzy and David for a wonderful afternoon. The venue was really good, the wines and food very good as well. There is nothing like attending these events with like minded people and with typical Karma attention to detail. With our wonderful hosts we had an excellent time. It is very encouraging that there are to be more Curated Events in Australia and New Zealand. Thanks very much Karma.”
– Rodney John Gale, Karma Group Member since 2021
“This event was my first curated experience and it was fantastic. The Karma representatives were extremely welcoming and informative and it was nice meeting with other Karma members and sharing their experiences – it really did feel like a Karma family. I was also able to pick up some useful tips about various Karma properties we will be visiting in the coming year, which was helpful. It is nice that this event was held in my own city as, tempting as other international events are, the tyranny of distance and timeframes make them difficult to attend from Australia. Keep up the good work and we will, hopefully, see you at future events.”
– Jeff Zoontjens, Karma Group Member since 2022
Beginners’ Ski & Feast with Chef Dario (January 21-24)
Bavaria provided a stunning backdrop for this winter adventure. Members enjoyed two days of ski instruction alongside exceptional cuisine, including a special tasting menu and traditional mountain restaurant dining. The event fostered unique connections, with Chef Dario exchanging culinary secrets with members. “A perfect blend of luxury and adventure,” shared an enthusiastic participant.
Experience VIP Rugby Sevens Heaven! (26 January)
Few of our lucky Karma Group Members joined us for a fun-filled day at the Perth Sevens. The drinks flowed along with the conversation, as we all cheered on from our primely-positioned open box. With Australia making it into both the men’s and women’s finals, spirits were high, with the women ultimately taking home the trophy to round out an excellent day filled with sporting camaraderie and shared stories of Karma adventures gone by!
Orange Fest at Karma Martam (February 1-4)
This unique celebration of citrus delighted members with its creative programming. Activities ranged from orange picking expeditions to mixology sessions featuring fresh orange juice cocktails. A highlight was Chef Karma’s pickle and marmalade-making class, while the local farmers’ market showcased regional produce. “An unexpected and delightful way to experience local culture,” noted one member as they enjoyed the orange-themed farewell dinner under the stars.
