The ultimate way to celebrate Christmas in the Top End without the stress

 

Christmas in Darwin is unlike anywhere else in Australia. While much of the country is turning up the oven heat, we’re enjoying blue skies, warm breezes, and the perfect excuse to take the celebrations outdoors. And when it comes to celebrating in style, our Christmas Day Lunch is the ultimate way to combine tradition with a tropical twist.

Set against the backdrop of our lush resort gardens, this year’s festive feast is all about indulgence and relaxation. Start with a plate piled high with fresh local seafood - prawns, oysters, and more, then move on to classic Christmas roasts, glazed ham, seasonal vegetables, crisp salads, and decadent desserts. Whether you’re all about the turkey or prefer a lighter summer spread, there’s something for every taste.

The atmosphere is pure Christmas joy. Glasses are topped up with your three-hour beverage package, soft drinks are flowing for all, and spirits are available to purchase on the day. Children have their own special highlight, a visit from Santa himself, complete with gifts for every child under 12.

Once the plates are cleared, the real Darwin magic begins. Slip into your swimmers and take advantage of complimentary pool access, or enjoy your free festive cocktail by the water. Two lucky guests will even win an exclusive private cabana experience for the afternoon. And for those who want the celebration to last, we’re offering 50% off the best available room rate for Christmas night, so you can turn the day into a mini holiday.

With free parking and everything taken care of, all you need to do is bring your loved ones and your Christmas spirit. Whether you’re a Darwin local looking for a relaxed celebration or a visitor seeking a unique Top End Christmas, this is the most effortless way to make the day truly memorable.
