LONDON, 10 October 2025  - Victoria Golf Resort & Spa has announced its new festive season experiences, inviting travellers to escape the winter chill for the sun-kissed southern coast of Portugal in the cosmopolitan resort town of Vilamoura. The destination offers pristine beaches, designer shopping, a vibrant marina, world-class golf and access to the region's natural and cultural treasures.

Victoria Golf Resort & Spa features 260 guestrooms and suites across two wings, all with private balconies overlooking the golf course, gardens, or Algarve countryside.

Guests also have access to four outdoor temperature-controlled swimming pools, a spa, kids' club, a tennis court and exquisite facilities for all kinds of meetings and events.  

The Month of December

Throughout December, Victoria Golf Resort & Spa brings the festive season to life with a curated advent calendar of activities. Festive tastings take centre stage, as the hotel's nearby wineries and the rich culinary heritage of the region are reflected in a series of drink tasting from classic Port wine to warming Glühwein. In addition, there is a hands-on Gingerbread Martini workshop. For guests looking for a creative outlet, a ceramic workshop featuring Portuguese tile painting offers a chance to create a personalised keepsake, led by a local family-run studio dedicated to preserving this traditional craft. The seasonal fun continues with gingerbread house decorating and a 'Trunk de Natal' (chocolate log) class, ideal for all ages.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, RIA Restaurant will host a speciality three-course dinner celebrating the flavours of the Algarve, with a selection of regional starters, mains such as cod wellington and slow-cooked lamb shank and concluding with a selection of classic Portuguese Christmas desserts.

Prices start at €90 per adult, including a welcome drink with children aged 0–5 dining free and those 6–12 years at €45. Drinks are not included in the rate.

New Years's Eve

To welcome 2026, the hotel will host a masquerade-themed celebration. The evening begins with a welcome cocktail, accompanied by live performances including acapella singers and acrobats. Guests will have the chance to capture their moments in a photo booth experience framed by masked performers and theatrical lighting. A three-course dinner, with highlights including a seafood cocktail and beef with truffle, is accompanied by spectacular performances, culminating in a sixteen-person live show and the midnight countdown at the foyer waterfall. Dancing continues into the early hours with a DJ and a late-night snack buffet.
