Festive Seaside Reverie
by: BTM - Wed, 10 Dec 2025
The tranquil shores of Zallaq are set to transform into a winter escape as Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain unveils a seasonal calendar filled with indulgent dining and captivating entertainment for guests eager to celebrate the spirit of the season.
At Majlis Al Fijiri, the Gold Sparkles Afternoon Tea sets a graceful tone for the month. Served daily, it features delicate pastries, refined savoury bites and premium teas. The setting, framed by gentle décor and soft sunsets, offers a quiet pause from the season’s pace.
Christmas Eve at Obab Al Bahar features a sophisticated buffet with a generous selection that includes beef tartare, foie gras terrines, a live sushi bar, lobster, oysters, roasted turkey, prime rib and flame-grilled cuts. A dedicated children’s buffet adds to the sense of celebration. On Christmas Day, the same venue hosts a festive brunch with seasonal dishes, desserts and live entertainment, creating an atmosphere that feels relaxed and joyful. Alongside these dining experiences, on December 24 and 25 the resort presents A Gingerbread Folly, a hands-on workshop where little ones can roll, ice and decorate their own gingerbread creations.
New Year’s Eve brings two distinct celebrations. The Gala at Obab Al Bahar takes inspiration from the glamour of the 1950s and 1960s, featuring live music, performances and a raffle with elegant prizes. For a quieter evening, Zahrat Al Fayrouz presents a New Year’s Eve Arabic Celebration, offering an Arabic set menu in a tranquil setting.
The festive programme continues into the new year with The First Breakfast on January 1, a leisurely seaside experience featuring fresh bread, rich coffee and a calm start to the day.
Guests wishing to extend their stay can choose from seasonal packages, including the Jumeirah Signature Escape with daily breakfast, wellness access, Kids Club activities and resort credit for selected suites. The New Year Celebration Staycation includes the New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner, access to the midnight countdown and magic show, breakfast on January 1, spa savings and complimentary stay for young children.
For those seeking balance amid the celebrations, Talise Spa offers a Festive Indulgence treatment in December, pairing a 30-minute massage with facility access and afternoon tea. Children can also enjoy the Kids’ Club Festive Fun programme from December 25 to 27, featuring creative activities, storytelling, themed games and movie nights.
Across every experience, Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain shapes the season with elegance and a welcoming spirit, offering a festive escape marked by coastal beauty and service.
