The program will run until January 12 and is designed so that every segment from family moments to celebratory evenings has its own unique character and experience.

The entire program is open to everyone who wants to feel the holiday spirit of Dukley, whether they come for one evening, one day, or decide to extend the magic by taking advantage of the hotel’s special offers.

Throughout the season, Café Benedict will serve a special festive menu prepared exclusively for this period. Inspired by winter ingredients and a contemporary culinary approach, the menu brings a variety of flavors that combine the comfort of home-style cuisine with creative finesse.

On Christmas Day, December 25, Café Benedict will host a traditional Christmas lunch accompanied by live music. The highlight will be roasted turkey with seasonal sides, interpreted in a way that blends the familiar with the unexpected. It is a moment for those who appreciate the slow rhythm and family spirit of the holidays.

One of the program’s highlights will be the Dukley Winter Market, from December 24 to 31, in front of the Harmonia Hotel. Visitors will be able to enjoy various stands offering hot chocolate, mulled wine, holiday-inspired cocktails, creative bites, sweet and savory delicacies, along with live music and the special energy of open-air gatherings. Instead of the typical winter ambience, the market carries the spirit of the coast: fresh sea air, Mediterranean notes, and green gardens as a backdrop that reminds visitors the holidays can take on a different form.

The New Year’s Eve celebration will take place at the Dukley Seafront restaurant, featuring an eight-course gala dinner, curated performances, and a live show by Eliza Stark and the Dappers. An elegant atmosphere, DJ sets, and specially crafted courses will make the last night of the year a memorable experience.

On the first day of the New Year, the celebration moves to the beach, where Dukley Beach & Bar traditionally hosts a daytime BBQ party. Sunshine, the rhythm of the sea, music, and open space create an ambience where the holidays don’t end—they’re just beginning. It’s a moment to enjoy without hurry: warm food, relaxed energy, good company, and the feeling of starting the year the right way.

A special place in the program is reserved for the Dukley Kids’ Bazaar on December 28. Designed as a blend of fun and education, it includes workshops focused on sustainability, creative recycling, and practical skills. It provides children with a space for play and exploration, while giving parents a moment to relax.

The holiday program continues on January 7, when Café Benedict will host a festive Christmas lunch in the spirit of tradition, creating a warm, family-oriented atmosphere befitting the holiday.
