Share a luxury villa experience at Karma Resorts

Traditionally, luxury holidays to far flung tropical islands have been the preserve of couples and honeymooners. Karma Resorts, a new wave of luxury all-villa properties in Bali and Thailand, aims to change this and now offers an exclusive ‘family and friends’ package for groups of six or more travelling together; perfect for half term, Christmas and New Year!

Offering accommodation in elegantly appointed villas of up to four bedrooms, with secluded gardens and private pools, Karma Kandara in Bali and Karma Samui on Koh Samui, Thailand, present an ideal solution for larger families and groups of friends. The properties combine stunning beachfront locations and the highest standards of resort facilities and service, with the flexibility, space and seclusion of a villa holiday.

The family and friends package, available at Karma Samui and Karma Kandara until January 2009, boasts inclusions such as complimentary kids’ club; discounted treatments at the Chakra Spa; complimentary use of the gym; one night’s complimentary baby-sitting; and a complimentary island tour.

In addition at Karma Kandara, which occupies a stunning clifftop location, the package includes a complimentary two hour snorkelling experience, followed by extravagant seafood lunch at the Nammos Beach Club. Optional experiences include a private cookery class: the whole family or group can accompany the chef to a local market and return to their villa and work together to create a mouth-watering Balinese dinner.

Guests at Karma Samui will be able to enjoy an in-villa barbeque cooked under the stars by a personal chef and waiter, overlooking a beautiful bay on the quiet north eastern corner of Koh Samui. Guests will also have the option to take part in a private cookery class, learning the flavours and secrets of Thai cuisine.
