Christmas in the Sun - Holiday Specials from Green Pearls® Partners

Exactly one year ago, international travel came to an almost complete standstill due to the pandemic. This year, it's back to thinking about spending the festive season and the turn of the year in holiday mode at the most beautiful resorts in the world. For all those last-minute travellers who are drawn to the sun, our Green Pearls® partners have put together some special offers for their sustainable resorts and hotels.

Welcome back - Dream holiday in Thailand's eco-resorts

From the 1^st of November, tourists can once again enjoy quarantine-free holidays in Thailand - provided they are fully vaccinated and come from a country classified as safe by the government.

The Zeavola on Phi Phi Island is taking the relaxed entry regulations as an opportunity to reopen its doors from 1 December 2021 for the first time since the nationwide lockdown. For the reopening, the sustainable luxury resort is offering a ‘Welcome Back Package’. The package includes 3 nights' accommodation incl. breakfast, arrival and departure transfers Zeavola/Phuket, Thai dinner, 30-minute head and shoulder massage (supplement for New Year's Eve Gala Dinner, 150 € per person).

Thailand holidaymakers will also find a delightful contrast to the hectic Christmas hustle and bustle in many countries at the Hotel Keemala, nestled in the middle of the Kamala forests on the island of Phuket. The eco-resort with its 38 uniquely designed villas and cottages hosts two special evening events for Christmas and New Year's Eve:

• ‘Christmas Eve Dinner’ held at Mala Restaurant and the In-Villa with canapes, seafood and non-alcoholic cocktails (price per person approx. €90).
• ‘Emerald Jungle Vibes Celebration’ including cocktails & canapés under the tree canopy, 5-course menu in the Enchanted Hall followed by countdown and music on the roof terrace. (Price per person. approx. 120 €).

Féliz Navidad in a suite over the Atlantic Ocean

Tenerife offers a fitting destination over the holidays for all those who enjoy the mild climate on the Canary Islands. At the foot of the Anaga Mountains, far away from mass tourism, lies the OCÉANO Health Spa Hotel. With its special health programmes and the new Centre of Healthy Motion, the OCÉANO offers its guests every opportunity to unwind and recharge their batteries, far away from the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

Balinese inspirations to welcome the new year

Since the 14^th of October, tourists from a number of countries have been allowed to enter Bali again, so the eco-luxury resort Puri Dajuma Cottages & Spa in West Bali is offering a special package for the time around the turn of the year.

• The 4 days / 3 nights package includes 3 nights in a traditionally built Balinese VIP cottage with sea view and breakfast, 1 dinner, 1 exclusive island excursion with visit to a traditional market, a turtle conservation farm, the fishing harbour and a temple, 1 aroma massage per person and a free upgrade to a higher room category depending on availability. Price € 390. (Valid for 2 people, booking period 15.11-31.12.2021, stay between 1 December 2021 and 15 January 2022).

With a wide variety of options including outdoor yoga, surfing and sailing, hiking, cycling or one of the eco-tours to the small local villages, the island's waterfalls or Bali's outback - the Puri Dajuma is an authentic and sustainable place to escape the commercial Christmas rush.
