When Christmas arrives in the heart of the Guadalest Valley, something truly magical happens. At VIVOOD Landscape Hotels, every corner transforms into a serene, nature-wrapped retreat, offering a different kind of festive experience, one far removed from the hustle and bustle of the season. This year, we’ve curated three unique Christmas plans, designed to surprise, move, and turn your romantic getaway into an unforgettable memory.
Christmas, like you’ve never lived it before
Imagine strolling peacefully, free from crowds, noise or stress. Wandering among centuries-old olive trees adorned with twinkling lights, with nothing but the whisper of the wind and a sky full of stars above you. This is how the Christmas experience begins at VIVOOD. From early December until the 6th of January, the hotel becomes a storybook setting, thanks to our delicate and thoughtful festive lighting.
The pathways shine with hundreds of tiny lights wrapping each tree, creating a warm and immersive atmosphere that invites you to disconnect from the world, and reconnect with yourself or your partner. It’s the perfect backdrop for meaningful moments, captured forever.
Without doubt, this is one of the most magical Christmas plans you’ll find in Alicante. Perfect for those seeking a hotel in Guadalest to enjoy a festive season filled with charm, exclusivity and deep respect for the natural world.
Christmas Market: craft, flavour and magic
If you’re looking for things to do as a couple during the holidays, mark 13th and 14th December in your diary. On these dates, we host our Christmas Market, an open event that has become a cherished annual tradition for lovers of local crafts and culture. From 11:30am to 5:00pm, our lounge space comes alive with artisan stalls, local delicacies, live music and enchanting magic shows by Pando “El Mago”, sure to captivate adults and children alike.
The market is not only an opportunity to find unique gifts, but a chance to immerse yourself in a day of tranquillity and inspiration. Visitors often describe it as discovering a hidden gem in the mountains, peaceful, intimate and with the quality and detail that define the VIVOOD experience.
Since the market is open to the public, it’s a perfect occasion for those who haven’t yet visited the hotel to explore our surroundings before booking a full romantic escape.

New Year’s Eve: a celebration with the VIVOOD soul
If there’s one night when luxury, emotion and exclusivity come together in perfect harmony, it’s New Year’s Eve at VIVOOD. In an intimate setting, surrounded by nature and served by a team dedicated to excellence, we welcome the new year with a memorable evening. The event features a bespoke tasting menu, live music throughout the dinner, and a festive yet refined atmosphere that blends Christmas magic with the sophistication of our hotel.
Every dish is crafted as part of a gastronomic journey celebrating local ingredients and fine dining artistry. Our chefs meticulously design each element to deliver an emotional, sensorial experience. Surrounded by soft lighting, nature’s silence, and thoughtful hospitality, the evening becomes more than a celebration, it becomes a moment of meaning.
A peaceful, shared way to begin the year, together, in harmony, connected to what matters.
A hotel with soul, in the heart of nature
VIVOOD Landscape Hotels is more than a luxury hotel in Alicante, it is a destination. As the first landscape hotel in Spain, it was founded on the principles of sustainability, architectural design and emotional wellbeing, turning every stay into a transformative experience.
Our Suites and Villas are seamlessly integrated into the landscape, designed to offer privacy, comfort and privileged views. Each window frames nature like a living artwork, and each space invites calm. During the festive season, when the world lights up and hurries on, VIVOOD offers an alternative: a Christmas that feels more intimate, more meaningful, more real.
This unique approach has earned VIVOOD a prestigious Michelin Key, a distinction recognising not only the excellence of our facilities and service, but also our commitment to design, emotional wellness, and hospitality at its finest. Because here, luxury means silence, presence and care.
There’s no noise here. No rush. Just the wind moving through the trees, stars glowing above the valley, and the warmth of a glass of wine by the fire.
Here, Christmas flows at a different pace.
