Switch off, slow down and celebrate somewhere different

Some Christmases are made for rushing around. Others are made for escaping it altogether.

This festive season, leave the usual routine behind and head for the Scottish Highlands. Think crisp winter walks, dramatic mountain and coastal scenery, cosy evenings inside and the warmth of your own private hot tub as the cold settles around you.

Whether you’re planning a peaceful Christmas getaway or somewhere memorable to welcome in the New Year, Highland Holidays gives you the space to celebrate differently.

A Christmas Away From the Norm

Christmas doesn’t have to mean a packed diary.

Swap the usual festive rush for slow mornings, winter walks and nowhere you need to be. Spend the day exploring the Highlands before heading back to the warmth of your accommodation, putting your feet up and enjoying an evening together.

No pressure to do everything. No long list of places to visit.

Just good company, beautiful surroundings and the chance to properly switch off.

Winter Nights & Your Own Hot Tub

There’s something particularly special about a hot tub getaway in the Highlands during winter.

Step outside into the crisp evening air, sink into the warmth of your private hot tub and look out across a landscape transformed by the season.

Our hot tub lodges and pods offer a cosy base for winter adventures and peaceful evenings, whether you’re escaping as a couple or bringing the family along for Christmas.

It’s a festive break, just with a little more fresh air.

Welcome the New Year Somewhere Different

If Hogmanay normally means busy parties and crowded celebrations, why not change things this year?

Head to the Highlands, settle into your own space and welcome the New Year surrounded by mountains, glens or Scotland’s west coast.

Spend the final day of the year exploring. Come back, pour something special, step into the hot tub and enjoy the countdown your way.

Sometimes a change of scenery is exactly what a New Year needs.

Three Highland Escapes

Choose Ben Nevis Holiday Park for a festive escape surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery, with Fort William and Glen Nevis close by.

Head to Oban Holiday Park for a winter break by the coast, where sweeping views across Oban Bay create a very different backdrop for Christmas and Hogmanay.

Or escape to Tyndrum Holiday Park for a cosy stay in the heart of the Highlands, surrounded by some of Scotland’s most dramatic winter landscapes.

Wherever you choose, the idea is simple: less rushing, more time together.

Your Festive Break, Your Way

Stay for Christmas. Escape for Hogmanay. Or disappear into the Highlands for a few days between the two.

A festive Scottish staycation gives you the freedom to make Christmas and New Year feel like your own again – whether that means long walks, lazy mornings, evenings in the hot tub or simply doing very little at all.

Sometimes the best way to celebrate is to get away from everything else.

Escape to the Highlands This Christmas

Trade the festive rush for fresh Highland air and discover a different way to spend Christmas and Hogmanay.

Find your cosy corner, switch off from the everyday and make the end of the year one you’ll remember.
