Christmas Holidays
Fri 3 Dec 2021 - Sun 2 Jan 2022
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Time for festivities, food and games. Time for Christmas jumpers, tinsel and twinkly lights. And most importantly, time to get away with your family and friends, reconnect, relax and enjoy the magic.
Join us throughout December as we transform our resorts into festive wonderlands, with exclusive live Christmas shows and activities for all ages.
Whether it’s seeing a festive show, sitting down to eat together or wrapping up for a wander along the beach on Christmas Eve, whatever you decide to do on your break with us, we’re sure the whole family will leave feeling sparkly on the outside and warm and fuzzy on the inside.
