Celebrate the Festive Season at LUX*

 

We went looking for the magic of the festive season and found it in unexpected places, unforgettable flavours and moments made together.

There is something about the festive season that makes us impatient to experience, to feel a little more. It is the moment when hearts feel a little fuller. We went looking for what creates that little spark, that feeling you cannot quite explain but instantly recognise.

We found that the best celebrations are not only about where you are. They are about how you feel. The feeling of arriving somewhere and instantly feeling at home. The laughter that lasts late into the night, the stories shared around the table.

At LUX*, the season’s magic lives in these exact details. A familiar smile waiting on arrival. Thoughtful touches of a butler. Unexpected surprises waiting around the corner. The little moments that happen naturally when no one is watching but become the memories you treasure most.

The best festive memories are not the ones you plan. They are the midnight fun, the barefoot walks under the stars, the first taste of a new flavour, the family moments you wish could last a little longer...

Festive entertainment I can expect?

Live performances throughout - carol singers, local cultural shows, DJ sessions and the fireworks.

The little moments in between: food market, cinema under the stars, festive ateliers, foam party.

And definitely, the countdown celebration. Champagne in hand, music playing, everyone dancing under the stars...

 

Favourite thing to do with family and kids?

The festive workshops together. Decorating cookies, writing letters to Santa, and personalizing a holiday card.

Christmas treasure hunt. The kids absolutely love it, and honestly, the adults get just as competitive.

The Christmas tree lighting. It instantly gets everyone into the festive spirit.

 

And for couples?

Candlelit private dinner, while watching the sky change colours with a glass of wine in hand.

Couple’s spa ritual designed to slow down and simply be present in the moment.

Intimate New Year celebrations – away from the crowd, secluded setting, creating your own special memory.

We asked our guests what made their past Christmas and New Year Holiday at LUX* so special

My favorite memory was hearing everyone countdown loud together right before fireworks. It’s beautiful how quickly strangers become friends when everyone is celebrating the same happiness. (Kyle G, Switzerland)

For us, it was the moment before the celebration even began. Having a bottle of champagne arriving at our beautiful suite, getting ready at our own pace and simply enjoying each other’s company. (Carla K, United Kingdom)

For me, it was the festive pisco sour. It was the best I ever had and I lost count of how many I ordered (Emille M, France)

I’ll never forget the little traditions we created during our stay. Dessert and unlimited ice creams before dinner, collecting shells on the beach, racing each other to the pool, jumping on the bed…these became our favorite memories. (Declan E, Sweden)

I have to say, it was seeing the sparkle in my kids’ eyes when they met Santa (Sanay, South Africa)

We believe that the greatest luxury is not just where you are. It is how you feel while you are there…

The festive is a feeling…

One that stays with you long after the decorations are gone. One where the greatest gift is not wrapped, but felt, shared and remembered.

For this end-of-year holiday, go beyond the traditional celebrations and discover a world where every detail is designed to make you feel something extraordinary.

This December, celebrate differently. Celebrate with LUX* and let the magic begin.
