Seychelles Festive Experience

New Year’s Eve Beach Dinner & Midnight Countdown

Prepare for one of the Seychelles’ most spectacular New Year’s Eve celebrations. As the final moments of the year approach, guests will enjoy a magnificent gala dinner set directly on the beach. This extraordinary culinary experience is complemented by captivating performances from renowned local and international artists.

As midnight draws near, the celebration continues with an unforgettable midnight beach party beneath the glittering Indian Ocean sky. Exclusive to Kempinski Seychelles Resort Baie Lazare, this glamorous open-air celebration offers an exceptional way to welcome the New Year.

Christmas & Festive Dining

Gastronomy lies at the heart of our festive celebrations. The highlight of the Christmas programme is the sumptuous Christmas Eve buffet at Café Lazare, featuring authentic Creole flavours alongside an impressive selection of international dishes in a vibrant tropical setting overlooking the lagoon. Guests may also attend the optional midnight mass at the nearby historic Baie Lazare church for a truly authentic festive experience.

As the celebrations continue, our restaurants and bars host an exciting programme of themed dining experiences. Discover French Night with exquisite cuisine, live music and dancing; savour Mediterranean and Southeast Asian buffet evenings at Café Lazare; or indulge in premium Steak and Sushi Nights at the oceanfront Windsong Bar.

For those wishing to combine culture with cocktails, our mixology masterclasses are complemented by traditional Seychellois Moutya dance performances. Continue the festivities at Planter’s Bar & Lounge during our signature ‘Ignite the Night’ live music evenings.

Kempinski The Spa & Tropical Wellness

Restore and recharge between festive celebrations at Kempinski The Spa, an intimate sanctuary featuring six private treatment rooms. Every wellness experience is thoughtfully designed to provide the perfect balance to a week of festive indulgence.

Guests can enjoy signature therapeutic massages accompanied by the soothing sound of the ocean waves, practise mountain yoga atop Mount Kempinski, or embrace ocean-based wellness through scuba diving, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding across the calm waters of the lagoon.
