Holiday dining and activities, wellness experiences and new nonstop flights invite guests to celebrate on the Caribbean’s Nature Island
InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa welcomes the 2025 festive season with nature-forward celebrations, culinary experiences and wellness offerings designed to bring warmth, connection and a sense of renewal to the holidays. Nestled between lush rainforest and the Caribbean Sea, the resort offers a peaceful escape for families, couples and travelers seeking a restorative celebration surrounded by nature.
Festive Season Highlights:
The resort officially kicks off the festive season on Nov. 29 with its annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Christmas Village, where guests and island residents gather for an evening of twinkling lights, seasonal treats and choirs singing timeless holiday classics.
Throughout December, InterContinental Dominica’s warm hospitality takes center stage with festive traditions for all ages. Seasonal activities range from cookie-decorating and storytelling with Santa to Frosted Fridays, weekly celebrations featuring specialty cocktails, live music and island cheer, overlooking Dominica’s rainforest-covered peaks.
Christmas Eve unfolds in style, as guests are welcomed with mulled wine before savoring an elegant, chef-crafted holiday dinner. The evening comes alive with soulful island rhythms and festive melodies that set a joyful tone as families, couples and friends gather to celebrate the magic of the season.
On Christmas morning, guests wake to a special breakfast buffet featuring tropical fruits, freshly baked pastries and made-to-order favorites. As evening falls, the celebration continues with elevated holiday dining across the resort, from bountiful buffets to refined multi-course menus served in a relaxed yet festive island setting.
New Year’s Celebrations:
New Year’s Eve arrives in luminous style at InterContinental Dominica, marked by a festive countdown gala in the elegant Trafalgar Ballroom. Guests will enjoy an abundant buffet featuring elevated seasonal dishes and Caribbean-inspired specialties, complemented by live music and a DJ who carry the celebration into the early hours. Champagne toasts, festive accents and joyful company set the tone for welcoming 2026 in unforgettable fashion.
Those seeking a more intimate evening may choose to ring in the new year at Kwéyòl, where a thoughtfully curated multi-course menu is served in a relaxed waterfront setting. Meanwhile, Rumfire sets the stage for a social celebration with handcrafted cocktails, light bites and DJ-led beats – a stylish yet laid-back atmosphere made for toasting to new beginnings.
On New Year’s Day, guests can start fresh with restorative spa experiences or a guided mindful walk and meditation at nearby Syndicate Falls.
“This season is about creating meaningful moments that blend celebration with serenity,” said Ramy Haykal, general manager of InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa. “Whether guests are toasting by the sea or exploring the island’s lush trails, they’ll find that every experience is infused with warmth, care and connection. It’s the kind of holiday that lingers long after they’ve returned home.”
Beyond the festivities, guests can unwind by the pool or cabanas, take leisurely bike rides or enjoy tennis with mountain views, a refreshing balance to the season’s celebrations.
Getting There
With new nonstop flights from Miami and Newark and continued regional service via Antigua, Barbados and St. Lucia, Dominica welcomes travelers from across North America and the Caribbean with easier connections than ever before.
