Karma Kandara

Entry Description

Karma Kandara represents a benchmark for what a large-scale, enterprise-grade Digital Twin can achieve when spatial fidelity, storytelling, and operational usability come together.
As the flagship resort of Karma Group, Karma Kandara is dramatically positioned on the cliffs of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula and spans more than three hectares of highly complex terrain. The Digital Twin captures the full scope of the property, including private villas, an apartment complex, multiple food and beverage venues, a beach club, spa, gyms, and public circulation areas. With more than 700 scan points, the model delivers a seamless, immersive experience that preserves architectural detail while remaining intuitive to navigate.
A core strength of this Digital Twin lies in its evolution over time. Throughout the past year, Karma Kandara underwent renovations and villa expansions. Instead of creating fragmented models, new areas were precisely merged into the existing base model, preserving continuity and spatial logic. This approach transformed the Digital Twin into a living asset rather than a static snapshot. Over 40 custom interactive pop-ups were added to highlight room features, venue information, and operational details, significantly enhancing both guest understanding and internal usability.
Navigation plays a critical role in a project of this scale. A carefully curated highlight reel guides users across elevations, zones, and venues, allowing first-time viewers to instantly grasp the size and layout of the resort while still enabling free exploration. The result is an experience that feels cinematic yet functional.
Beyond marketing, this Digital Twin has delivered measurable business value. The global Karma Group sales team was trained to use the model with Meta Quest 3 headsets in international showrooms, enabling fully immersive sales presentations without physical travel. At the same time, the Digital Twin is deeply integrated into the Karma Kandara website, where individual venues and room types are presented directly through the spatial model.
Karma Kandara demonstrates how a Digital Twin can become a core sales, training, and communication platform — setting a new standard for large hospitality environments in 2026.
