Karma Kandara occupies a spectacular cliff top high above the Indian Ocean at the very tip of Bali's elevated southern peninsula. Bridges, stone walkways and little paths meander through vivid tropical gardens, connecting 46 expansive pool residences, all of which enjoy ocean views. Both the destination restaurant with its rooftop bar and the spa are suspended on rocky outcrops, while a private inclinator takes guests down to Nammos Private Beach Club, set at the base of the cliff. Guests also benefit from a host of novel activities and special events, including privileged access to sister resort Karma Jimbaran, a mere 20 minutes away in front of the white sands and cobalt waters of Jimbaran Bay.
Each of Karma Kandara's 1, 2, 3 & 4 bedroom residences takes in an ocean vista. All are contemporary elaborations on the Balinese compound style, comprising two or three pavilions with roofs of alang alang grass or sirap wood tiles, framing a central lap pool and courtyard. Living rooms have an airy, expansive feel with their high pitched ceilings and creamy marble floors. Decor evokes an uncluttered Mediterranean ambience, with richly upholstered furnishings in shades of chocolate, cinnamon, copper, bronze and amber, accented with local artworks and antique artifacts. All bedrooms are oriented to face the sea and boast en-suite semi-outdoor bathrooms with grandiose stand-alone tubs. Every residence boasts top of the line amenities including the latest audiovisual systems and SMEG appliances in the spacious fully equipped kitchens. The Grand Residence is at the very brink of the clifftop with its horizon pool seemingly spilling into the sea.
Karma Kandara indulges guests with services and amenities that go a step beyond. Signature restaurant Di Mare is designed in the manner of a floating viewing platform on a craggy overhang 150 meters above the surf. Executive chef Raymond Saja turns out zestful Mediterranean meets pacific rim cuisine complemented by an exhaustive list of classic and new world wines. On the rooftop Temple Bar, plush colorful banquettes, Shisa pipes and giant Moroccan stained glass lanterns create a Kasbah-like setting where guests enjoy custom cocktails and Mid-East inspired Tapas style dishes served at a whimsical market stall. Nammos Beach Club is a private Folly that conjures the romance of the Greek Islands, where guests can swim off a private white sand beach and indulge in sunset cocktails and light Mediterranean meals. The Chakra Spa is perched dramatically on a shoulder of rock overlooking the ocean. Guests can choose from a select menu of treatments, delivered by highly experienced therapists drawing on Indian Ayurvedic and Balinese healing traditions. Each month, exciting new activities and events are added to Karma's eclectic roster - from fascinating cultural encounters to adventure sports to parties featuring top flight international djs.
