THE HOLIDAY EDITION.
Forget the usual festive formula. This year, Christmas gets an edit, THE NICI way.
Three destinations. One season of good times. From coastal stays and long lunches to work parties, Christmas Day feasts and New Year’s Eve after dark, consider this your guide to doing the holidays differently.
Stay somewhere worth the trip. Eat somewhere worth dressing up for. Make plans worth talking about long after the decorations come down…
THE GETAWAY
Christmas looks better on the South Coast.
The presents can wait. Check in, switch off and let the season happen around you.
Whether it’s a few nights by the Bournemouth beach, a family escape to the New Forest or a Cornish Christmas by the coast, THE NICI makes a compelling case for spending the holidays somewhere else.
Think festive dining, family time, winter walks, lazy mornings and everything you need for a proper break – without having to host it yourself.
THE FEAST
The hottest table in town.
Think long lunches, decadent dinners, festive afternoon teas, Christmas Day feasts and New Year’s Eve celebrations, all served with a vibrant atmosphere.
Across our restaurants, expect seasonal menus, great settings and reasons to make a meal of it — whether you’re getting the gang together, planning the big day or dressing up for the final night of the year.
THE PARTY
Consider this your office party, upgraded.
Bring the team somewhere they’ll never forget. Think cocktails, good food, music, stylish spaces and a reason to stay for the night.
Whether it’s an intimate team dinner or a full-scale festive celebration, THE NICI has the setting for those that know how to party properly.
THE MAIN EVENT
Christmas Day, done differently.
Spend the day together, settle in for a spectacular festive feast and let us take care of the rest. Seasonal food, good company, music and all the atmosphere you want from Christmas – without the usual logistics.
For families, couples and groups who’d rather be making memories than making dinner.
THE COUNTDOWN
Out with 2026. In with 2027.
Across THE NICI, New Year’s Eve takes a few different forms – from glamorous gala dining and five-course feasts to live music, DJs, drinks and dancing late into the night.
Pick your destination. Pick your people. Stay for the after-party.
THE FAMILY AFFAIR
A Christmas everyone can get behind
Trade the living room for the coast. Swap the usual routine for days filled with festive activities, great food and time together.
There’s plenty for younger guests to get involved with, while grown-ups get a little more room to relax, eat, drink and enjoy the break too.
The Gifts of Laidback Luxury
Treat someone special (or start dropping hints!) to an unforgettable experience at THE NICI. This is the gift of time, of anticipation, and of indulgent, laidback luxury – all wrapped up in memories to treasure. What could be better?
