Sustainable Valentine’s Day Recipe: Chocolate Fondant
This year, we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day in a most sustainable way! Chef Joseph has created a sublime Chocolate Fondant created from locally sourced ethically grown ingredients including Valrhona Sakanti Bali Single Origin 68% cocoa! Since 1922, Valrhona has been producing the world’s finest chocolate in the small village of Tain L’Hermitage in France. In 2013, the team travelled to Bali in search of a high-quality cocoa connected with the Kerta Samaya Samaniya (KSS) cooperative in the Jemrana region in West Bali that is known for its quality cocoa, coffee and bananas. Today the KSS co-op consists of more than 400 cocoa producers creating a world-class dark chocolate.

Wellness Trends 2020
We ask Karma’s Spa & Wellness Curator, Judy Chapman, to highlight some of her favorite trends for 2020.
S IS FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The health and longevity of our planet is on many people’s radar and travelers are increasingly seeking out destinations that are eco-themed. In fact, a recent survey showed that nearly 70% of travelers reported they would spend at least 5% more on their accommodation to ensure their travel would have a reduced impact on the environment – that’s inspiring! Here at Karma Group we’ve launched our sustainability vision for 2020.
CONSCIOUS BEAUTY
Water is a limited resource and beauty brands are meeting the challenge. At Karma Spa on Rottnest Island, we partnered with Perth-based skincare brand, MOKOSH, because of their waterless formulations. That and their undeniable commitment to social and community projects. Says Judy: “Last year, they began raising funds to purchase trees to plant in the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor to provide habitat for endangered species – now that’s true beauty!”
HEALTH SPAN NOT JUST LIFE SPAN
Forget anti-aging. Now it’s all about aging well or maintaining our vitality as we grow older. Says Judy: “We are in an age where we are living longer than ever before, and at 50 years old, we are potentially only half way through our lives – that’s a game-changer!”
NATURAL MOVEMENT
‘Natural movement’ has been highlighted by the Global Wellness Institute in their 2020 Wellness Trends report. It’s inspired by the research that the longest living people on earth don’t necessarily keep fit by going to a gym but by moving naturally throughout the day and integrating physical activity into their daily lives.
