Cool Sh*t, Travel / 18 August 2023

Nestled along the pristine shores of Uluwatu, Karma Kandara invites travellers to a world where luxury intertwines with nature.

With its cliffside villas, a serene spa, a private beach, and the culinary delights of Di Mare restaurant, Karma Kandara delivers an unparalleled resort-style getaway for those travelling to Bali.

As you step into the realm of Karma Kandara, be swept away by the luxury that transcends imagination. The resort boasts a collection of private villas, infused with Balinese influences and modern aesthetics. Each room is positioned on the clifftops with some offering panoramic vistas of the Indian Ocean. Whether you opt for a cosy one-bedroom haven or an expansive multi-bedroom villa, you’ll be enveloped in a cocoon of comfort and elegance. Plunge into your private infinity pool, unwind amidst tropical gardens, and relish the spacious living areas that seamlessly blur the lines between indoors and outdoors.

Journeying to Karma Kandara’s spa is the epitome of tranquillity. The Karma Spa masterfully melds age-old traditions with contemporary wellness, presenting a tapestry of offerings including Balinese massages, rejuvenating facials, and holistic therapies. Accomplished therapists craft an oasis of relaxation with essential oils and the soothing symphony of nature.

The resort’s private beach is accessible by a scenic inclinator ride. Immerse yourself in the crystalline waters of the ocean or perch up in the private cabanas for some shade with a cocktail in hand. The menu offers Indonesian classics, wood-fired pizzas, fresh salads, and quintessential Australian delights like fish and chips, all of the makes for a good day beachside.

Dining at Di Mare restaurant is an unforgettable experience that transports you to the enchanting cliffs of Greece. With panoramic ocean views as your backdrop, enjoy a menu that combines local flavours with global cuisine. Whether it’s breakfast with a view or a romantic dinner beneath the stars, Di Mare is a must on your stay at Karma Kandara.
