Karma Kandara

Karma Kandara sits on the limestone cliffs of Ungasan, on Bali's Bukit Peninsula, looking out over the Indian Ocean. The resort is a cluster of private pool villas, from one to four bedrooms, plus The Residences with five en-suite bedrooms and the Mentari Residences, a block of 33 apartments set around gardens.

For weddings, the appeal is choice. The resort lists eight set-ups, from a cliff-front garden and a poolside ceremony under a bamboo canopy at di Mare to a floating stage on the pool and a beach wedding below. A hill tram runs down to Karma Beach, the resort's own stretch of sand, where the evening can carry on once the vows are done.

Numbers shape the day. The Sunset, Cliff-front Garden and Villa Asia set-ups are listed together for 20 to 40 guests, and the beach wedding takes up to 150. The weddings site quotes anything from 2 to 250 guests, so ask the team which set-up fits your list. The Billionaires Wedding adds a welcome cocktail party for up to 150 and up to three nights in a villa of your choice.

For dinner, di Mare serves Italian food with cliffside views, and Tandoori Bar & Grill sits on the sand at Karma Beach. Ask the team about ceremony times, what each package includes and the music curfew, as we could not confirm them.

The pool villas let a close group stay together, and the apartments suit extra family or friends. Ask the team how many guests the resort can sleep in total. Ngurah Rai International Airport is 17 km away, around 40 minutes by road depending on traffic.

Between events there is daily yoga, boxing and Muay Thai, a Friday morning e-bike ride and a teak treehouse-style gym. Karma Beach has watersports, private cabanas and spa treatments by the sea, and Karma Spa keeps its thatched treatment bales up on the cliff. The 3 Monkeys Kids Club takes children aged 4 to 12. Bali's dry season runs from April to October, worth knowing when you pick a date.
