Christmas in Surfers Paradise

Posted on by

Christmas in Surfers Paradise is another great Australian festival that is held each year during the Christmas time to celebrate the festive season in the grand Australian way. Christmas 2014 saw the Cavill Mall brilliantly illuminated with lights and families from all over flocking to witness the numerous Christmas fun events organised to make the season merry for everyone. Australis Sovereign Hotel, quite a popular hotel in Gold Coast was very much involved with the festive season with the luxury accommodation it had to offer for the many visiting tourists and locals during this exciting holiday time.

Some of the fun events that the families enjoyed included Santa at the beach with his surfboat sleigh pulled by six kangaroos and posting letters to Santa and snapping a photo with him as a souvenir. The dazzling Christmas lights display hung overhead was reminiscent of a glistening halo. The events also included the Surfers Paradise Christmas carols on the beach to spread the good cheer among all.

The great Aussie Summer has arrived for those who have been waiting to take time off for vacationing by the beach to ease off their stress at the ever popular Surfers Paradise.

Christmas in Indonesia – A Memorable Seasonal Experience

Posted on by

Christmas is a time of joy and festivity, where loved ones all gather and celebrate. The season is magical, and the joy and the Christmas spirit can be seen and felt wherever you celebrate this wonderful time of the year. But if you are tired of Christmas being spent in the cold, it is time you experienced a beautiful ‘White Christmas.’ No, not a Christmas spent surrounded by white snow; a Christmas celebrated on the white sands of a tropical beach in Indonesia!

Although Christianity isn’t the primary religion in Indonesia, the locals know how to celebrate the season! During the month of December, the streets of the islands are decked out in lovely, twinkling fairy lights and hundreds of people take to the streets to watch carollers singing under these beautiful lights. Shopping malls all over the islands offer amazing shopping deals, making great shopping experience in Indonesia even greater! At most shopping centres, a man decked out in a red and white Santa Clause can be spotted standing cheerfully or handing out small gifts to children under a beautifully decorated Christmas tree.

Food and dining also play an important role in the celebration of Christmas in Indonesia, as seen with the locals, who all have various traditional meals that are cooked on Christmas day. If you are travelling in Indonesia during Christmas, most hotels organize elegant Christmas parties for their guests, offering Western and traditional food – such as ‘Dodol,’ an Indonesian treat, beautifully decorated trees and Christmas games for everyone to enjoy.

One can spend a more traditional Christmas within the walls of an Indonesia church, which can be found in some parts of the island. Christmas in Indonesia can also be celebrated on one of their beautifully pristine beaches. Whatever way you choose to celebrate your Christmas in Indonesia, it is almost guaranteed to be fun for all your loved ones.

To host your next family excursion in this vibrant archipelago, consider the Starwood Asia Pacific Hotels & Resort as it is a prime offering of the luxury hotels Indonesia has to offer its visitors. This elite property is one of the finest Indonesia 5 star hotels on the market, and should make for a wonderful seasonal escape in the tropics.

Christmas in Bali – Experience the Asian joy of the season

Posted on by

If one fancies the tropical isles for Christmas, away from the grip of chill and snow, Bali is a superb destination to land on at this part of the year to join in the perfect holiday mood that one inevitably comes to share once they get to the luxuriant and relaxed atmosphere of Bali. Endowed with plenty of sunshine and warm and somewhat humid weather with occasional rain falls that comes as a surprise, the isles are brimming with tourists and therefore the whole island is geared up to cater to them in their festive mood, from the countdown to Christmas to the day itself and right up to end of the year party.

However not all areas of Bali are jammed with tourists which can pose a nightmare, from traffic jams to lack of availability of hotels and residences. While areas like Kuta and Legian street threatens to be swamped with tourists and traffic jams although they exude the holiday excitement and nightlife, other areas like Denpsar, Samur or Ubud appear less crowded and more peaceful and conducive to a peaceful holiday ambience.

As for the spirit of Christmas itself, most tourists enjoy what the Balinese prepare for their celebrations from extensive décor lining the shopping malls to the appearance of Santa especially to please the kids to proper Christmas dinners offered at hotels and major restaurants that keep up the spirit of the festival in almost the same element as the rest of the world. Being blessed with genial weather especially throughout the day, there are some fabulous parties especially on the beach that one can look forward to. Christmas shopping itself is a pleasant prospect as the shops are mostly open till the midnight and even on the day so that no one needs to be in a crazy rush to get presents on time.

The other best thing about this amazing holiday destination is that there is always a satisfactory number of choices to select from when one is looking for a luxury resort Bali. The Laguna Resort & Spa Nusa Dua Bali offers a relaxing atmosphere with well kept gardens as well as beach front views with tastefully decorated interiors and an array of attractive residential options. This reputed Nusa Dua Resort is an excellent choice to select to stay over during the Christmas holidays so one gets a true feel of Bali as well as the holiday atmosphere at the same time.

For fashion-lovers, makeshifts ramps are set up on the streets where models show-off the latest and trendiest designs while the entire atmosphere is like a carnival of the highest order.

Spend some time at the Botanic Gardens of Singapore which showcases ‘Trees of the World’ where the part from the Tanglin core to the Bandstand is lined with 200 Christmas trees representing a different culture or country through its unique decoration. One element of Christmas is its food and Singapore delivers dutifully. The Christmas buffets have everything and more than you can imagine and should be tried and tested in at least three different places. Shop to your heart’s content at the immensely adorned malls that offer incredible discounts and make sure to visit a church that displays the true spirit of Christmas.

Most importantly, see the lights down Orchard Road, Sentosa Habourfront and Marine Bay where the light shows are exotically out of this world. Entire streets are lit up wonderfully and the performances will render you speechless. Singapore is indeed a jolly place to be on Christmas- instead of missing out on anything you’ll be gaining an experience of a lifetime.

A luxury resort Singapore and the backdrop of Christmas is a beautiful combination to make you spend this holiday season in the tropics. The amazing Sentosa resort Singapore offering the best of style and adventure, the W Singapore Sentosa Cove and the endless possibilities in which to spend Christmas in awaits your presence. So are you ready?
