View the full itinerary

Arrive early. Drop your shoes and settle down overlooking the waves, with a mulled wine and freshly baked mince pies. Explore the beach at your own pace, or catch a wave on a surf lesson. In the afternoon, unleash your creativity at our wreath-making workshop, followed by an hour or two in Swim Club.

As the sun begins to set, think about dinner in Zacry's or The Living Space. Throughout the day, little ones can join sessions in Kids' Zone, while the evening hums with live music from True Foxes, this is Christmas at Watergate Bay.

Today is the day for hobby reindeer. Spend the morning crafting your own in Kids' Zone, ready for the annual competition on the beach. Father Christmas preparation stations are underway with reindeer food, carrots and mince pies. And, as the day turns into night get together to sing carols around the beach bonfire, with a hot chocolate in hand.

Happy Christmas / Nadelik Lowen!

Today is for taking it easy and making it up as you go along. Take a walk on the beach, unwind in Swim Club or sink into the arm chairs in the ocean room.

Breakfast and storytime with Father Christmas in The Living Space snug with gifts for the children. 

Celebrate Christmas Day lunch in The Beach Hut and The Living Space dining room, and an evening festive buffet in the The Living Space dining room.

Christmas lunch menu

A Boxing Day dip for the hardy, free surf hire from Wavehunters, festive pancake art in the Kids' Zone games room and supervised sessions and entertainment throughout the day. 

As the sun sets, live music from Daisy Clark in The Living Space begins. 

One final breakfast and a dip in the pool. Little ones can join the festive cinema while parents pack the car, before we say goodbye, until next year!

New Year by the sea

Our New Year three-night dinner inclusive break starts on the 30 December until 2 January, but you can stay as long as you like.
