This festive season, Raffles Seychelles invites guests to embrace the spirit of celebration where ocean, sky, and timeless traditions meet. From the first glow of the Christmas tree to the last toast of the New Year, every gathering is imagined as a moment of connection, beauty, and wonder. The festivities begin beneath the warm hues of sunset as the Christmas tree is lit, adorned with ornaments placed by guests themselves. Eggnog, handcrafted seasonal treats, and live music set the tone for days filled with joy, elegance, and togetherness.
On the evening of December 22nd, the shoreline becomes a stage for stories and laughter shared around a glowing bonfire. As the waves whisper in the background, spiced rum cocktails in hand, guests are reminded that celebration is as much about the moments we share as the setting that surrounds us.
Festivities Rooted in Nature – Raffles Seychelles invites families to give back to the island through a guided coral restoration, where children and parents alike contribute to preserving the vibrant reef that protects the shores. Later, younger guests discover the magic of the season through playful treasure hunts, while Santa’s joyful arrival brings wonder to Christmas morning on the beach as he arrives bearing gifts for all little residents.
A Celebration for Every Generation – Whether painting inspired by the Vallée de Mai, savoring moments with Aldabra tortoises, or raising a glass beneath the Seychellois sky, the festive season at Raffles Seychelles is crafted for families, couples, and friends to celebrate together. Each day holds the promise of new discoveries, each evening the magic of timeless connection.
Evenings of Indulgence – The culinary journey unfolds in true Raffles style, from lavish Christmas buffets with carving stations and festive desserts to an enchanting beachside dinner where the stars, fine wines, and live entertainment create an unforgettable Christmas night. Each experience blends the flavors of the season with the soul of the Seychelles.
A Dazzling New Year – As the year draws to a close, Raffles Seychelles hosts a black-and-white soirée that begins with abundant buffets of seafood, sashimi, and exquisite meats, accompanied by musicians and entertainers. At midnight, the celebration crescendos in a spectacular display of light over the ocean, ushering in the new year in luminous style.
Orthodox Celebrations by the Sea – The festive journey continues into January with celebrations honoring Orthodox Christmas. From grand buffets filled with tradition and artistry to refined beachside dinners accompanied by live music and magical performances, the spirit of the season extends well into the new year.
