MUSCAT : No-one captures the festive season quite like Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Bringing the magic to life, the resort is inviting guests for a host of experiences with delectable menus and lively entertainment, Ritz Kids fun and New Year’s glitter. Its lush, tranquil gardens and venues will be transformed with twinkling lights, seasonal decorations along with its majestic Christmas tree  accompanied by unparalleled luxury and warm hospitality, making sure every family member is no less than enchanted.

Nabil bin Abdul Wahab Al Zadjali, General Manager at Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, said, “It’s one of our favorite times of year again and our Ladies and Gentleman have been busy combining all of the ingredients for a spectacular festive season. As one of the world’s most luxurious destinations, our resort is made for grand celebrations and we look forward to welcoming our guests with more experiences than ever and helping them make incredible memories that will last a lifetime.”

Served with a touch of glamour and luxury under the majestic dome of the Atrium Tea Lounge, Festive High Tea remains one of the finest Ritz-Carlton traditions. This seasonal treat features an array of delectable and assorted savories paired with freshly brewed tea, served every day throughout December. Also happening daily throughout the month is Christmas Jazz at Al Maha Jazz Lounge, where yuletide cheer meets a quaint and intimate setting, and guests can unwind to the smooth sounds of live musicians until late.

On the 17th and 18th December, the resort’s spacious grounds will be transformed into The Palace Wonderland; a winter market, where visitors can pick out special gifts for loved ones while enjoying an open-air cinema, live entertainment, meet-and-greet Santa, Gingerbread decorating and so much more.

A magical occasion deserves a magical location and nothing beats The Pavilion. Indulge in Christmas Eve Dinner with a divine seafood menu and all of the elegance of the beachfront milieu. Alternatively, a sumptuous buffet at Al Khiran Kitchen is not to be missed, complete with live cooking stations and entertainment along with games to keep the kids entertained all evening. On the 25th December, indulge a Grand Christmas Brunch, featuring a buffet with live stations and all the traditional trimmings, as well as decadent desserts and of course, a “surprise” visit from Santa.

Those in need of pampering can melt away the tension at Al Bustan Palace Spa by the Ritz-Carlton. From Festive Cheer, with a chocolate scrub, relaxing massage and 24-carat gold age-defying facial, to Absolute Rejuvenation, with Arabian Signature Hammam, Stress Relief Massage and Immune Booster fresh juice, the spa packages make an ideal token of self-care or make a heartwarming gesture like no other. For that extra special gift, exclusive spa vouchers are also available.

The countdown is on for the most awaited night of the year, and where better to celebrate than on the shores of Oman with New Year’s Eve dinner at The Pavilion, featuring the most exquisite dishes and scenic views to end the year on a high. Or, gather under the stars for a night of magic with the New Year’s Eve Gala dinner. A lavish buffet will be served on the gardens and beachfront complete with an unlimited selection of beverages and live entertainment, as guests release flying lanterns to ring in the new year.

Whether for an intimate gathering or a family celebration, guests will re-discover the wonder and merriment of the season at this timelessly inspiring destination.
