KARMA’S HOLISTIC HOSPITALITY 2020

Karma Group Hospitality and Charities

From annual initiatives including Camp Royal in India and the Penguin Walk to providing scholarships to help break the cycle of poverty, we update you on Karma Group’s global philanthropy ‘Karma Cares’ initiatives.

Since its beginning, the Karma Group hospitality was founded on generosity.  Not just in providing unforgettable experiences, top shelf entertainment and inspired vacations, but also by improving the wellbeing of the local communities where Karma Group’s resorts are located.

Karma Group’s Chairman, John Spence, has long been passionate about building strong community connections and giving something back and has won many awards for his philanthropic work.

FESTIVALS OF VIETNAM – PUT THEM IN YOUR CALENDAR

Visit Vietnam During Festival Season

Vietnam is on the radar as one of the hottest destinations to visit right now. Still relatively removed from ‘overtourism’, exploring Vietnam is  revered for its people, food, landscape, architecture and culture. But who knew this Southeastern Asian country hosted so many festivals throughout the year.  Here are our recommendations…

MONTHLY:  Hoi An Lantern Festival
Simply put: you can’t travel to Hoi An without attending one of the full moon festivals held on the 14th day of each lunar month. During the full moon, the narrow streets of this UNESCO World Heritage site township are transformed. The electricity is switched off and all the stores, temples and restaurants are decorated with hundreds of stunning lanterns in all shapes, sizes and colors – it’s a visual delight like no other.  

Tet Nguyen Dan – Vietnamese New Year
One of the  most important festivals as well as a national holiday, Vietnamese New year is celebrated with many colourful traditions including fireworks, games, music and dance.

The Best of Kerala

Often referred to as ‘God’s Own Country’, the Southern state of Kerala is known for being one of the safest, healthiest and eco-friendly in the Republic of India.  It has been named as one of the top ten paradises of the world by National Geographic Traveler and is home to a diverse range of unique cultural traditions including Ayurveda, snake boat racing and Kalaripayattu martial arts.

Ayurveda in Kerala
We highly recommend you try an Ayurvedic massage when visiting Kerala – they are one of the most nourishing massages you’ll ever try.  Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest medicine systems and is gaining in popularity for its preventative approach to health and longevity. What’s unique about an Ayurvedic Massage is that the massage is custom-designed for your body type.

How To Celebrate Chinese New Year In 2020

HOW TO CELEBRATE CHINESE NEW YEAR IN 2020

One of the most fascinating parts about exploring and living in foreign lands is that you get to mix and mingle with different cultures, sample exotic foods – and celebrate unique festivities. Indonesia is particularly exciting as its mix of Chinese, Muslim and Hindu people meaning that there’s a vast array of festivities and ceremonies happening throughout the year. Which brings us to Chinese New Year – also known as the ‘Spring Festival’ or ‘Lunar New Year ’. 

HISTORY OF CHINESE NEW YEAR
Chinese New Year is a 16-day festival full of celebrations, gatherings and rituals. There are many myths and stories surrounding the origin of Chinese New Year, but essentially it marked the planting of the farmers harvests ‘new beginnings’ – observing the letting go of the past to make way for the new. Depending on the day of the full moon, the dates of Chinese Year vary each year.
