This December, Karma Kandara invites guests to step into a season of wonder as it unveils its iconic celebration: Festive Magic! From 23 December 2025 through 3 January 2026, the clifftop resort and its celebrated Karma Beach will be transformed into a playground of elegance, indulgence, and joy. While the resort's twelve days brim with refined dining and well-curated festivities, this year's spotlight belongs to Venetian Dreams, an extraordinary New Year's Eve masquerade gala at the resort's iconic clifftop restaurant, di Mare.
The Heart of the Festive Season: di Mare
Throughout December, di Mare becomes the culinary and social heart of Karma Kandara. The restaurant's sweeping ocean views and contemporary Mediterranean design create a setting that feels both celebratory and serene. Each evening presents a different expression of the season: from the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve, a nod to Italian heritage, to the Christmas Brunch and Christmas Dinner that follow, both filled with flavours of comfort and sophistication. Whether guests join for a family gathering or an intimate dinner, di Mare offers a space where festive warmth meets elevated dining.
Wellness & Festive Cocktails
Throughout the twelve days of Festive Magic, Karma Kandara's commitment to balance and wellbeing shines through. Daily yoga sessions at the Spa Lounge, Muay Thai on the rooftop of Mentari Residences, and kids' yoga at Three Monkeys Club ensure that mind, body, and spirit are celebrated alongside the festivities. Guests can begin their mornings with mindful movement, carving out grounding rituals before evenings of indulgence. Wellness here is not an afterthought, but a quiet kind of magic woven into the rhythm of the season. Adding sparkle to the season, Karma Kandara's mixologists present a curated selection of cocktails crafted for celebration. Bright, tropical creations like the Celestial Light and Shore capture Bali's sunshine in a glass, while the Spiced Countdown and Tuscan Sour offer deeper, more complex flavours. Elegant signatures such as Whispers of Winter and Luce di Venezia bring a touch of Italian glamour to the festive mood.
Giving Back Through Karma Cares
No festive season at Karma Kandara would be complete without giving back. This year, the resort continues its Karma Cares partnership with the Bali Life Foundation, a small charity with a big heart. Guests are invited to contribute to the Giving Tree initiative with donations of IDR 350,000, which go toward gifts hand-delivered by Santa to underprivileged children. In doing so, the spirit of joy extends beyond the resort, reaching those who need it most. At Karma Kandara, the festive season is a calendar of experiences that bring people together. With Karma's Festive Magic 2025, the resort closes the year with exceptional dining, music, wellness, and celebration, all delivered with signature elegance and a touch of festive sparkle.
