Perched 80 meters above the Indian Ocean, di Mare Restaurant Bali at Karma Kandara is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve food — it creates a sense of atmosphere. Under its signature sail-like white canopy, the open-air pavilion feels suspended between sea and sky, offering a cliffside panorama that shifts from serene blues to molten gold by sunset.
But for all its breathtaking scenery, di Mare’s true character lives in its kitchen. Helmed by Chef Joseph Antonishek — Karma Group’s Executive Chef, Culinary Institute of America alumnus, and James Beard “Best Hotel Chefs in America” awardee — di Mare’s menu blends refined global techniques with a relaxed coastal sensibility.
One standout is the hand-stretched pizza: fresh, perfectly blistered, and balanced with that signature chew and char that transports you straight to Italy. Honest, satisfying, and quietly exceptional — the kind of dish where craftsmanship speaks for itself. Pair it with the gentle sea breeze, the sound of waves far below, and the sweeping cliffside view, and you get a dining experience that’s equal parts comfort, charm, and pure Bali magic.





Part of the charm of dining at di Mare comes from its home at Karma Kandara, one of Bali’s most celebrated cliffside resorts. Perched high above the turquoise curve of the Indian Ocean, the property has long been known for its iconic views, exclusive villas, and reputation as a go-to hideaway for discerning travelers. That same sense of prestige flows naturally into di Mare. The restaurant embodies the resort’s signature style, elevated yet unpretentious, luxurious yet laid-back.
