Chakra Resorts represents a new tier in the ever-expanding resort portfolio of the Karma Royal Group. Sitting between the Karma and Royal properties, the Chakra brand will combine affordable luxury with idyllic locations and a banquet of tailored experiences in true Karma style. Expect a focus on entertainment and well-being in synergy with the environment. Vibrant beach clubs, ski-up bars, saunas, wine tasting and musical events plus outdoor pursuits and spa rituals in tune with the natural surroundings. A common DNA runs through the brand yet each resort will feature a distinct character reflecting the indigenous origins of its landscape and culture.
Discerning guests can select from a range of accommodation options - apartment living, self-contained suites or traditional hotel rooms, all designed to provide a reassuring level of comfort for families, large groups, couples or independent travellers. The Chakra concept originates from the ancient Hindu belief in bodily energy centres that provide vital life-force. When all seven chakras are aligned the resulting positive energy will smooth the flow of one's existence. This concept infiltrates the design perspective of every resort and is represented by a significant colour and a unique spiritual vibration.
