Launching a brand-new festive programme across its two Caribbean properties, The SoCo Hotel Group invites guests to enjoy the Christmas and New Year period, soaking up the sun (and rum!) on the stunning islands of either Saint Lucia or Barbados. Guests can expect culinary indulgence throughout the programme with wonderfully festive menus that align with tradition but fuse with the heritage of the Caribbean.
Available at both The SoCo Hotel in Barbados and the hotel group’s newest property, The SoCo House in Saint Lucia, this programme sets the perfect festive scene with traditional celebrations that offer a Caribbean twist. From sampling the hotels’ festive food delights and enjoying performances from local artists, to sampling local tipples at a traditional rum tasting and ringing the New Year in with live entertainment and plenty of prosecco; The SoCo Hotel Group has everything covered.
SoCo’s festivities kick off on 20 December 2021 with a Christmas themed Manager’s Cocktail Reception. Enjoy signature cocktails, expertly made by the SoCo Mixologists, and mingle with the other guests who are also enjoying Christmas away from home. As the big day approaches, Christmas Eve is celebrated with a sparkling drinks reception and themed evening meal. Christmas Day begins with a leisurely breakfast and morning spent with loved ones, before guests’ head to lunch and enjoy SoCo’s take on the traditional Christmas spread with all the trimmings. A sumptuous à la carte Christmas Dinner brings the day to a close.
In the run up to New Year’s Eve, guests can enjoy an array of activities on site as well as get out and explore the stunning islands. Rum tasting is a must when in the Caribbean and both Barbados and Saint Lucia are home to some of the area’s finest distilleries. Both properties will offer guests tasting sessions throughout the Christmas and New Year period with experts from a local distillery taking guests through the history of Rum in the region. Exclusive to The SoCo House, guests can also enjoy a tropical twist on the British Afternoon Tea and even head to The SoCo Spa to rejuvenate with an indulgent treatment that relaxes and invigorates.
New Year’s Eve offers a night of elegance with great food, bubbly and live entertainment. A Gala dinner menu, prepared by SoCo’s Executive Chef, is the centrepiece of the celebrations whilst a live band entertains guests until the countdown to midnight commences. After welcoming in 2022, a local DJ will take guests into the early hours.
