Elbow Beach, Bermuda Offers Christmas In Bermuda Package

Hong Kong, 24 October 2011 – Elbow Beach, Bermuda is delighted to offer a holiday escape to paradise with the “Christmas in Bermuda” Package, which has been tailored for couples or families to enjoy.

On Friday, 23 December, guests will have the chance to finish off any last-minute Christmas shopping with a trip to Bermuda’s capital City of Hamilton. Delivered by taxi to Reid Street, guests will be able to take advantage of the late night shopping as well as viewing the festive Christmas lights and decorations on display throughout the city. When the shopping is done, a three-course dinner at Little Venice, Bermuda's first and most famous Italian restaurant, awaits.

On Christmas Day, Santa arrives on a Bermuda moped with gifts for children, followed by the perfect photo opportunity in the hotel lobby in front of the grand Christmas tree. Guests can also enjoy the sights and smells of the Gingerbread Village on display. Whimsical gingerbread houses of all shapes and sizes grace the Elbow Beach lobby during the holiday season adding to the festive atmosphere. Once guests have captured some wonderful holiday memories, they can indulge in a spectacular Christmas Day Brunch with panoramic ocean views at the award-winning Lido Restaurant.

No holiday escape would be complete without experiencing The Spa at Elbow Beach and the Winter Beach Bliss Ritual. This peaceful three-hour journey begins with a welcoming foot ritual, followed by a relaxing ESPA Salt Scrub.
