From December 6 to 27, Saturdays bring the Christmas Market to life, with local artisans showcasing their crafts and the air filled with the aromas of festive treats. Visitors can enjoy mulled wine, churros, pancakes, and live music every day except Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day brunch.
The season officially begins on December 8 with the lighting of the Christmas tree and central plaza. Guests can then take part in workshops, tastings, and cultural experiences. Between December 22 and 29, activities include gingerbread cookie decorating, pottery, candle making, and sampling the traditional Queen Cake. Wine tastings and Algarve-inspired cultural experiences offer a taste of local heritage.
Wellness is woven into the holiday program, with outdoor meditation and tea ceremonies by the fire, and deep-breathing sessions designed to calm the mind and open the heart. Food is also central to the season. Ombria Kitchen launches a special holiday menu on December 15, while Café Central serves seasonal desserts and local infusions.
The Spa offers winter-themed treatments, from full-body exfoliations with Olhão sea salt, cinnamon, and orange, to mindfulness rituals combining massage with sound baths.
Festive dining ranges from Thanksgiving dinner to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals, and culminates in New Year’s Eve celebrations with a string quartet at 11 PM in the ballroom, followed by a DJ party after midnight.
