This festive season, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort unveils its inaugural celebration under the evocative theme “Golden Nets, Gathering Joy” — an homage to the fishing heritage of Ha Long Bay and the enduring art of connection. The campaign embodies both the spirit of craftsmanship and the quiet poetry of the bay, transforming the resort into a luminous haven where culture, cuisine, and community intertwine.
The resort embraces the festive spirit with refined yet elegant decor, blending champagne gold with soft green pine. From the towering Christmas tree in the main lobby to the intimate holiday corners at the Residences lobby and Club InterContinental Lounge, every detail echoes the sophisticated simplicity of Christmas by the Bay.
To embody this spirit of connection, the resort introduces The Magical Bay, a stay package inviting guests to enjoy togetherness, relaxation, and discovery. Designed for both families and couples, the package includes daily breakfast at Marina Kitchen, festive welcome gifts, seasonal recreation, and a special Zero-Waste Festive Cocktail Workshop where creativity meets celebration. Guests can also indulge in a 60-minute spa treatment for two, a peaceful oasis in the middle of festive vibrancy.
The festive spirit extends across dining locations, each highlighting its own culinary delights. At Marina Kitchen, the season kicks off with A Holiday Symphony, a dinner menu honoring classic festive flavors. This takes a festive turn with Bubbles & Bells: The Christmas Brunch Affair at La Baguette, where joyful melodies and holiday lights provide a backdrop for cherished family reunions. As the year closes, Brunch of New Beginnings at the French-style bistro offers a delightful prelude to the new year, set against the stunning backdrop of Ha Long Bay.
For tranquility and refinement, Festive Afternoon Tea Delights at Vue Lounge invites guests to savor handcrafted pastries and aromatic teas in a cozy Christmas environment. Additionally, the seasonal cocktail selection at Vue and Del Mar allows for sunset toasts, capturing the magic of the holidays with every sip.
Children will discover joy at Planet Trekkers, participating in activities like decorating gingerbread houses and joining a playful journey of discovery called Festive Passport Adventure, designed to craft memorable family moments.
At Hidden Lagoon Spa, the holiday bustle gives way to a calming retreat. The Festive Glow Journey features Infrared Sauna Therapy, offering muscle relaxation and improved circulation. Complementing this, the New Year Renewal Ritual rejuvenates guests on an Alpha Quartz Sand Bed, promoting tension release and revitalization. Each treatment combines precise techniques with festive serenity, guiding guests toward peace to finish the year and embrace the next with renewed energy.
Throughout this season, guests are encouraged to engage in special moments filled with exquisite dining and family activities, allowing each celebration to weave a golden thread in the joyful tapestry of life in Ha Long.
