This festive season, Karma Kandara in Bali unveils its signature highlight: the Venetian Dreams Masquerade Gala, a centrepiece of Karma’s enchanting 12 Days of Karma celebration. On New Year’s Eve, di Mare restaurant transforms into a shimmering Venetian ballroom — guests don hand-crafted masks and sip cocktails as live jazz and opera drift across the clifftops. A lavish multi-course Italian feast unfolds under the stars, and as midnight draws near, international DJs usher in the New Year with a beachfront countdown and fireworks that scatter light across the Indian Ocean.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Karma Kandara’s 12 Days stretch from late December to early January and weave together tradition, wellness and revelry. The season begins with a tree-lighting ceremony and the Feast of the Seven Fishes, then journeys through themed evenings — from a Roman-inspired New Year’s banquet to a Día de los Muertos fiesta at Phoenix Bar, complete with face-painting, mezcal cocktails and Mexican street food.
Beyond Karma Kandara, 12 Days of Karma brings you a constellation of holiday moments steeped in local character. At Karma Salford Hall in the Cotswold countryside, expect mulled wine evenings, Tudor-style New Year’s banquets, and Santa’s grotto magic. Up in Scotland, Karma Lake of Menteith hosts fireside whisky tastings, Hogmanay ceilidhs and the iconic Loony Dook plunge into icy waters. Meanwhile, at Karma Bavaria in the Alps, torchlit winter walks, traditional festive feasts, and gingerbread-house crafting invite cozy alpine cheer, while Karma Chateau de Samary brings the inimitable feasting and festivals of Occitanie onto the festive season map for the first time.
In India, Karma Group’s resorts from Goa to Kerala and Rajasthan celebrate with cultural dinners, lake cruises, classical music, bonfires, and DJ-led gala nights. Across southeast Asia and Europe, every resort layers its own traditions — wellness rituals, beach games, seasonal dining — into a tapestry of joyous celebration. Whether you’re longing for laid-back tropical bliss or a snow-dusted winter escape, Karma’s 12 Days offer a holiday season as diverse as it is magical.
