A golden Venetian celebration at Wyndham Grand Algarve

Amid shimmering Christmas lights and Venetian masks, the Wyndham Grand Algarve has been transformed into a true retreat of glamour and creativity for the festive season

For this year’s celebrations, the hotel in Quinta do Lago has prepared two exclusive programmes: A Golden Christmas on December 24 and 25, and A Golden Night in Venice on New Year’s Eve. Both promise memorable experiences that bring together fine dining, live music and dazzling décor.

At the Wyndham Grand Algarve, Christmas is marked by elegance and refinement. Subtle touches hinting at the chosen theme welcome guests – in the lobby, a majestic Christmas tree, richly dressed with Venetian masks, immediately sets the tone.

The space has a theatrical, sophisticated feel, creating an immersive and magical atmosphere for those seeking to celebrate the season in a truly memorable way.

A Golden Christmas offers a festive dinner on December 24 and 25, featuring a buffet of Portuguese and international specialities selected to reflect the spirit of the season. Among the highlights are cod with grelos and cornbread, polvo à lagareiro, turkey roulade with nuts and rosemary sauce, lamb chops with mint sauce, and traditional desserts such as rabanadas, pumpkin fritters, bolo-rei and yule log.

Every detail has been considered to provide a complete gastronomic experience, accompanied by a selection of premium beverages in a warm yet sophisticated setting.

To welcome the new year, the Wyndham Grand Algarve invites guests to a gala evening inspired by the Venice Carnival and a special dinner crafted by executive chef Alexandre Oliveira.

The menu includes creations such as scarlet prawn ravioli with basil and lemon foam, lightly cured cod with potato mousseline and caviar, beef loin with baby vegetables and jus, and citrus mousse with limoncello.

The evening continues with live music, cocktails, a late-night buffet and a DJ-led celebration until 2am. For younger guests, the Kids Club is available until 1am, ensuring entertainment and safety throughout the night.
