As well as Santa Claus, presents and turkey; Christmas brings cold weather, stress and bad TV. Avoid all of the festive dramas this year and escape to Seaside Palm Beach Hotel*****, for a luxury break in Gran Canaria. Instead of bringing in the New Year exhausted, visitors will return rejuvenated with a glowing tan.

Wake up on Christmas morning with the sun shining and the pool glistening; lounge under the shady palm groves next to the lagoon-like pool and sip on a delicious fresh fruit smoothie. Guests can experience ultimate relaxation at the Spa and Wellness Centre with the signature Pantai Luar treatment, a traditional Asian massage using hot bags of herbs, and spend the rest of the day soaking in the salt water warm pool, dipping in the Jacuzzi and participating in yoga and tai chi classes.

Swap turkey with all the trimmings for a delicious barbeque buffet whilst sitting outside under the palms with a view of the pool and gardens. Watch the chefs cooking and taste succulent meats and fresh seafood washed down with crisp white wine from Gran Canaria's vineyards for a delicious Christmas dinner with a Spanish twist.
