Christmas away from home – 5 reasons to go away for the holidays
More and more families choose to spend Christmas away from home. It is not about giving up tradition – it is about finally celebrating together instead of spending December shopping, cleaning and cooking. Here are 5 reasons to choose Christmas by the lake at noi Resort.
1. Christmas without kitchen duty
At home, someone always ends up in the kitchen. At a hotel, everyone rests – including the hosts. At the noi restaurant overlooking Lake Rożnów we serve breakfast (8:00–10:00) and dinner (16:00–18:00), and on 24 December at 17:00 we invite you to a festive Christmas Eve dinner with traditional Polish dishes. No shopping, cooking or washing up.
2. Tradition stays – the Christmas programme, 23–27 December
Christmas at a hotel can be just as festive. We have prepared a programme for every day:
| Day | Programme |
| 23.12, 18:30–20:00 | sauna evening in the floating sauna |
| 24.12, 17:00 | festive Christmas Eve dinner with traditional Polish dishes, followed by a visit from Santa Claus |
| evening | carol singing together |
| 25.12, 11:00–12:30 | gingerbread decorating for children and adults |
| 26.12, 18:30 | evening bonfire with winter treats |
Simply leave presents for the children at reception by 24 December, 14:00, labelled with the child's full name – Santa Claus will hand them over in person.
3. More time for family – and for the kids
The noi restaurant has a kids' menu, and there is a playroom and an outdoor playground on site. Children under 3 stay free in their parents' bed, and a travel cot, baby bath, changing table or high chair can be booked in advance.
4. Winter relaxation with a lake view
The wellness area is open daily from 9:00 to 21:00 (from 19:00 for guests aged 16+). Access is included in both packages:
- dry sauna and herbal sauna with a lake view,
- steam bath,
- indoor jacuzzi and outdoor panoramic jacuzzi,
- treatments and rituals at noi SPA – extra charge, booking required.
5. Nature instead of holiday rush
Instead of crowded shopping centres – the forests of the Beskid Sądecki mountains and peaceful Lake Rożnów. Between a festive breakfast and dinner you can take a walk along the lake, play billiards or explore local attractions. On the evening of 23 December there is a sauna session on the water, and on 26 December a bonfire with winter treats.
