Christmas Market at Kempinski Hotel
The Kempinski Hotel Bahia Estepona has established itself as a firm favourite in the area as a great place to celebrate Christmas and New Year and has a wonderful programme of events to enjoy throughout December, including markets, carol singing, fabulous food, glittering galas and even a visit from Santa himself!
The festivities begin on Saturday December 3 at 4pm with the traditional Christmas market. Guests will be welcomed with a glass of mulled wine and can visit many stalls with artisan and gourmet products and Christmas gifts. At 7pm a children’s choir will sing carols and Santa Claus himself will switch on the lights of the Kempinski’s Christmas tree!
The Kempinski is a great place to dine over Christmas. Highlights include their sumptuous Christmas Eve dinner at the Alminar Wine & Steak House, including a welcome drink and five delicious courses with live classical music from the tenors Il Divo.
The following day there is a Christmas Brunch, with delicious food, a visit from Father Christmas, kids’ entertainers and live jazz with the Red Jazz Band from 1-4pm.
The Kempinski is best known for its legendary New Year’s Eve parties. This year there will be a lavish New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner and Masquerade Ball. Upon arrival guests enjoy a champagne cocktail and canapés, followed by a six course gala dinner, paired with fine wines and champagnes selected by their sommelier. Throughout the dinner there will be live performances from Elegant Band and the acrobat troupes R.E.A Danza and Dance & Dreamers, creating a very special atmosphere.
The countdown to 2017 will be marked with the Spanish tradition of eating 12 lucky grapes and plenty of champagne. The party will continue into the early hours with a premium open bar, late night tapas and dessert buffet, music and dancing.
Sore heads will be soothed and the festivities continue the following day with a delicious New Year brunch with live jazz from the Red Jazz Band until 4pm. This will include a lavish buffet with a variety of salads, cheese counter, BBQ station and much more.
Christmas and New Year packages are available with discounted accommodation and entrance to the events and all the events are open to non-hotel guests.
