12 reasons to spend the year-end holidays at Karma Kandara in Bali - SilverKris

"This clifftop five-star resort offers an exclusive, romantic escape with secluded pool villas and private pavilions, an infinity-style pool facing dramatic Bali sunsets, and an emphasis on privacy and relaxation. Over a festive 12-day celebration (23 December–3 January) guests are treated to daily spa offerings, gourmet experiences, themed parties and moonlight movie screenings by the sea. Entertainment highlights include all-day beach DJ sets, a Caribbean-style carnival with percussion and fire dancers, a circus-themed New Year’s Eve with acrobats, dancers and magicians, and community-focused events such as Christmas carols performed by underprivileged children in partnership with a local foundation. Active guests can join beach competitions (including a beach volleyball and stand-up paddleboarding “cup”), numerous fitness and wellness classes twice daily, and themed spa pop-ups offering IV hydration and healing sessions. Festive cocktails are rotated daily throughout the period, while on-site kids’ programming keeps younger visitors occupied so adults can enjoy spa treatments and nightlife. After the festivities, guests can unwind in airy, Balinese-inspired villas that open onto teak decks and private pools." - SilverKris
