by BTM

Wed, 27 November 2019

Guests can ring in the magic of the season with a variety of unique holiday events, at The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain.

This season The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain unveils a winter paradise of grand festivities at the 20-acre luxury beachfront resort, running from December 1 to January 15.

The magic of the season officially begins with the annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. From 5pm onwards on December 5, guests will see another rendition of the magical tunnel of lights as it illuminates the main drive with a brand-new design and theme. More than 3,000sq/m of sparkling blue and gold fairy lights will light the way to the porte-cochere and elaborately-decorated lobby and hotel garden where the evening festivities begin. On the way, look out for a small animal kingdom-like setup on the roundabout. Once inside, families can gather over a warm cup of hot cocoa or apple beverage, along with gingerbread cookies, while listening to the Christmas choir and waiting for the most important visitor of the year: Santa Claus.

Every day throughout the month, guests can also enjoy unique dining experiences at the resort’s award-winning restaurants. Always a fun afternoon affair, the Festive Afternoon Tea offers a delicious range of mini-tea pastries and sandwiches at the Lobby or Ritz Gourmet lounges, daily from 3-5 pm. Gourmet takeaways will also be available for purchase, including a selection of hampers and desserts, perfect to accompany holiday gatherings, as well as takeaway roasted turkey and beef family-style meals starting at BD119 for up to six persons.

And because it’s the holidays, leave the cooking to them with festive menus running daily at La Med, Nirvana, La Table Krug by Y, Cantina Kahlo, Primavera and Plums. Guests can also pick up the Savour Passport card to be rewarded with a BD20 voucher to redeem on their sixth visit.

Over at the Ritz Kids Clubhouse, little ones can get all-sugared up with fun gingerbread decorating classes throughout the month, along with a special Winter Camp, running December 17-30. While the little ones are at play, mums and dads can also enjoy their own self-indulgence with “12 Days of Spa” offers running December 14-25. From complimentary treatments to exciting products, everyone is in for a treat. Special offers will be revealed daily on Facebook and Instagram @ritzcarltonbahrain.

On December 25, the resort’s Grand Christmas Brunch delights with a lavish 200-dish buffet spread featuring seafood and turkey-carving stations, an elaborate cheese display and an enchanted forest- themed room filled with heavenly delights.

The grand finale of the season ends with a New Year’s Eve countdown to 2020 where the elegant Al Noor Ballroom lights up with the ultimate pizazz and entertainment as guests head “Back to the ’80s” one last time.
