Karma Resorts is the sister company of Royal Resorts and it is fast establishing itself in the very vanguard of 21st century high-end lifestyle and destination experience. There are currently three villa resorts in the growing Karma portfolio, Karma Samui on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, Karma Jimbaran and Karma Kandara, both in Bali. Karma Kandara is the brand's flagship resort, voted Best New Resort in Indonesia by CNBC. The great news for all Royal members (weeks or points) is that you are entitled to an exclusive 50% discount against Karma rack rates. There are countless reasons to take advantage of this offer - we've listed a few below:

 

Large Party Group - Karma villas are designed for family holidays. A villa consists of a master bedroom, bathroom with sunken bath, second bedroom - double bed, en-suite bathroom, a large living room with satellite TV, sound system, large dining room, table and kitchen.

 

b) Self-catering - a family on holiday at a Karma Resort enjoys a fully fitted kitchen with top of the line European brand full range cooker, refrigerator and dishwasher.

 

c) The Karma Experience - all Karma Resorts are members of the Leading Hotels of the World and offer a 5 star holiday experience with a host of outstanding amenities, facilities and services.

 

 d) The Karma Concept - is a spacious, villa holiday experience in the setting of a 5-star boutique resort - which means you get the best of both worlds. Unrivalled privacy and world class service, facilities and amenities.

 

e) Value for Money - a normal 5-star boutique resort will set you back anything from $500 for a simple room that sleeps two. To stay at a resort like the Bulgari or the Ritz Carlton, you're looking at around $1500 per night for a family of six. With Karma, if a villa has a tariff of $700, to our Royal member that’s $350 less than a hotel room. But of course, this is for three rooms.

Beat that! Visit www.karmaresorts.com for a glimpse into the possibilities. And then read our next news item on Karma Club

 

Karma Club

If you found yourself captivated by our Karma Resorts properties and one holiday is simply not going to be enough, there's another option. Investing in a Karma Villa offers both attractive returns and access to a privileged lifestyle...Prices range from just US$350,000 to US$1.2 million for the high rollers! Title is freehold/leasehold.

Alternatively, investment minded members might be interested in the Karma Club as a financial investment combined with holiday benefits. When did an investment in shares or bonds give you 15% per year capital appreciation, cliff-side living and huge savings on holiday costs?

Put simply, you own a fraction of a villa. The concept will be familiar to our week members. You have the option of owning anything from one week upwards. Prices start at just $40,000. And your villa can be expected to increase in value each year Typically, Karma villas experience a 30% increase from off-plan to completed villa and Bali land prices have risen at 20%+ for the last seven years).

The villa must be sold after 15 years (although you may resell your fraction at any time). During that 15-year period you have the following rights:

* Use your fraction at Karma Kandara
* Use your fraction at any Karma Resort
* Exchange your fraction for stays at other luxury resorts worldwide via the Global Alliance Partnership
* Rent your fraction (minimum 2 weeks) via the Resort Rental Pool

Karma Club offers a solid financial investment, transforming your holidays from Holiday Ownership standard to Luxury Boutique standard, and enables you to enjoy the lifestyle of a millionaire...without actually having the millions!
