Set against the gentle rhythm of the lagoon and ocean, the celebration offered a magical start to the resort’s festive programme.
As the White Christmas tree came to life, guests, team members, and well-wishers gathered to share a moment filled with warmth, light, and the spirit of the season.
The glowing tree, dressed in elegant white and silver tones, stood as a striking centrepiece symbolising purity, celebration, and the joy of Christmas.
Moments of festive cheer were shared as the evening unfolded.
Guests enjoyed seasonal cocktails and mocktails, Christmas carols, and festive culinary delights, creating an atmosphere of relaxed coastal festivity.
A welcome drink and pool access added to the leisurely charm of the night, while an international dinner buffet offered a delightful selection to complete the celebration.
Speaking at the event, Wim Fagel, General Manager of NH Bentota Ceysands Resort, said:
“At NH Bentota Ceysands, we have curated a bundle of offerings for the festive season, bringing together the warmth of celebration and the natural beauty of our coastal surroundings.
This tree-lighting ceremony marks the beginning of a series of memorable experiences awaiting our guests along the shores of Bentota.”
In line with its festive spirit, NH Bentota Ceysands Resort has unveiled a diverse line-up of celebrations throughout December.
