Karma Kandara

Karma Kandara is a resort of private pool villas on the cliffs of Ungasan, part of the Karma Group. Villas come in several sizes, each with its own pool, and many look straight out over the ocean from the clifftop.

The resort's signature is Karma Beach, a beach club on a white-sand cove at the foot of the cliff, reached by an inclined lift. The water in the cove is clear and calm enough for swimming at the right tide. Facilities also include a spa, clifftop restaurant and bar, and a team that arranges in-villa dining and activities.

The beach club is open to outside visitors for a minimum spend, so it can be busy on weekends; villa guests have easier access. The resort is about 40 minutes from the airport. Book directly or through the main platforms, and confirm what is included in the rate, especially for beach-club credit.
