Among them are the world-renowned Ritz-Carlton Langkawi and the beloved Sheraton Petaling Jaya, which are pulling out all the stops with their incredible holiday promotions. Read on, then check-in!
The Ritz-Carlton Langkawi
The Ritz-Carlton Langkawi is going EXTRA in December, and is dazzling guests with phenomenal deals and displays for Christmas as well as New Year’s.
Christmas Offerings
The Ritz-Carlton Langkawi has erected its epic Christmas tree, which is decorated with ornaments made by children from the Langkawi Autism Care Centre. They have written their Christmas wishes on the ornaments and are waiting for someone to make them come true. That someone could be you!
The Ritz-Carlton’s The Library has been transformed into ‘Nutcracker Café’, where you can enjoy a Festive Afternoon Tea of mouthwatering sweet treats, freshly-baked scones, and a delectable selection of seasonal savouries, served in true festive style. To add to the fun, a la carte desserts and Christmas goodies are available for purchase.
On Christmas Eve, The Beach Grill invites you to The Ritz-Carlton Langkawi’s Christmas Festive Buffet, which includes a kaleidoscope of decadent seasonal favourites, novel creations, and international flavours, as well as lively music and spectacular ocean views. If buffets aren’t your thing, don’t worry, because they’re also serving four-course Christmas dinners at The Beach Grill, Hai Yan, and Langkawi Kitchen.
The Beach Grill serves Rockefeller oysters and homemade grouper star ravioli, Hai Yan serves crab meat soup and wok-fried black angus beef, and Langkawi Kitchen serves fried snapper with honey tamarind sauce and slow-cooked lamb shank in spiced gravy.
On Christmas Day, take a Cocktail Masterclass by The Ritz-Carlton’s resident mixologist, at the Coco Beach Cafe, to create delectable drinks that capture the spirit of the season.
New Year’s Offerings
Begin the year with a Taste of Malaysia Buffet at Langkawi Kitchen, where chefs have curated a spread of the best Malaysian dishes for a true representation of traditional and signature favourites from across the country.
If you think The Beach Grill only serves Christmas fare, think again! On New Year’s Eve, the restaurant will host a BBQ Buffet Dinner complete with free-flow champagne and live music, with a menu thoughtfully curated with a contemporary selection of international flavours.
Alternatively, enjoy a New Year’s Eve Seven-Course Dinner at Hai Yan, where you can dine on a delectable seven-course menu created by Jay Go, Ritz-Chinese Carlton’s Chef de Cuisine, on the water’s edge. While you wait for the sun to set, savour signature dishes like braised Alaskan king crab, conpoy and fish maw soup, pan-fried Australian lobster in sea urchin sauce, wok-fried wagyu beef with prawn stuffing and morel mushrooms, and more.
It’s only natural to want to party on New Year’s Eve. So get dressed up for The Ritz-Carlton Langkawi’s ‘Into the New Year White Party’ at Horizon. Prepare for a magical evening filled with many flavours and culinary delights, as well as endless dancing and music by guest DJ Edwin Francis! The evening will conclude with fireworks to bid farewell to 2022 and welcome the New Year of 2023, with the stars and the ocean as backdrops.
Festive Indulgence
The Ritz-Carlton Spa is also presenting luxury at its sweetest – with chocolate! It elevates luxury treatments to new exotic heights with its Festive Indulgence Spa Treatment, which revitalises your skin with antioxidant-rich chocolate. Begin with a 60-minute chocolate body wrap, followed by a 60-minute body massage and a 15-minute chocolate face mask. Your treatment will conclude with a hot chocolate drink while you gaze out at the Andaman Sea.
