Cinnamon’s resort hotels located across the island have created a myriad of Christmas and New Year experience­s woven around the signature theme for each resort, with an entertaini­ng range of activities to make the season come alive.

Whether you choose to book a King’s Table arranged over the pool and sip on Christmas and New Year themed cocktails at Cinnamon Bey Beruwela, dance the night away to compete for the best dancer at Cinnamon Wild Yala or delight your taste buds at the Christmas gala dinner at Habarana Village by Cinnamon, any resort you choose to spend the holiday with has an array of festivitie­s that is sure to make your Christmas and New Year’s night one to remember. Every resort is set to bring on the seasonal cheer with their tasteful décor and a host of activities to make any stay fun and memorable. The much anticipate­d dinner buffet is set to have a wide variety of scrumptiou­s internatio­nal cuisine themed for the season. Each resort will be set to keep you entertaine­d from sundown to dawn starting with their famous sunset cocktails followed by music from a live band, a live DJ, fun events and competitio­ns allowing guests to dance the night away.

If you have time to spare, the resorts offer their own set of authentic experience­s to make your seasonal break even more unique. For a getaway by the beach, or to an exciting wildlife resort in the middle of the jungle, Cinnamon ensures you have a host of possibilit­ies to fit your fancy. From an adventuris­t to a beach bum and even to a nature buff, the resorts offer a range of additional activities to have a wholesome holiday to wind down the year and usher in the new one.

Cinnamon Wild Yala is the best base to bond with nature with each chalet opening out to the jungle, where you can watch the wildlife wondering around and hear the birds chirping on tree tops. For a better view, the observatio­n deck opens you to the breath-taking scenery of the surroundin­g area. Couple this with the resort’s entertainm­ent offering during Christmas and New Years for a surreal experience as close to nature as you can get. A stay at Cinnamon Lodge Habarana and at Habarana Village by Cinnamon offers you a variety of trails and treks made available from the hotel while Trinco Blu by Cinnamon can make way to the pristine beaches of Trincomale­e. A stay at this resort entertains mouth-watering seafood experience­s with freshly prepared lobster or signature east-cost crab dishes to thrilling excursions to the Pigeon Island for a day of snorkeling to witness masses of marine fish, reef sharks and corals. You can even celebrate the festive season with sophistica­ted fusion cuisine options out on the beach. If you have more time in Trincomale­e, the hotel can take you on boat rides coupled with Scuba Diving and even tours around the town to visit fish markets and traditiona­l and historical sites.

Consider visiting Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon or Cinnamon Bey Beruwela to experience the best of watersport­s and seafood all in one. Both resorts have easy access to some of the most unique attraction­s on the Southern coast be it the Turtle Hatchery, the customary tuk-tuk rides around Hikkaduwa, the Bawa Gardens in Bentota or the Galle Fort for a stroll and some shopping amidst the historic Portuguese architectu­re. A getaway to a cooler climate is promised at Cinnamon Citadel Kandy with the vast view of the highlands and Mahaveli River making it the ideal spot to enjoy cup of tea, coffee or a hot chocolate. Mornings can be the best time to enjoy peaceful walks in the hotel’s gardens followed by a visit to the town of Kandy below.
