Company Christmas Eve dinner by the lake – how to organise it in Lesser Poland?
A company Christmas Eve dinner (Polish Wigilia) is often the only time of the year when the whole team sits down at one table. If you are looking for a venue for a company Christmas party in Lesser Poland that combines a traditional dinner with a break from the office, see how to plan it step by step at Lake Rożnów.
Why hold your company Christmas dinner away from the office?
A gathering in a conference room quickly turns into just another meeting. A change of scenery lets employees feel from the very first moment that this evening is for them.
A company Christmas dinner by the lake offers something a city-centre restaurant cannot: views of the water, the forests of the Beskid Sądecki mountains and the calm of a December landscape. It is a setting your team will remember longer than the menu itself.
noi Resort is located in Znamirowice on Lake Rożnów, about 30 minutes from Nowy Sącz and about 1.5 hours from Kraków. It is a convenient location for companies from all over Lesser Poland looking for a company Christmas party venue near Kraków or around Nowy Sącz.
How to organise a company Christmas dinner – step by step
- Book the date early. The first half of December is the most popular time for Christmas gatherings, so it is worth booking in October and November.
- Count the guests. The number of people determines the choice of room and table layout.
- Choose the format. Dinner only, dinner with an overnight stay or a two-day trip with team-building?
- Choose the menu. Traditional Polish Christmas Eve dishes, vegetarian options and extras tailored to your team.
- Plan the attractions. A short speech from the management, a group photo, time in the wellness area or a boat cruise.
- Take care of logistics. Travel, parking, start and finish times and, if needed, transport.
A room for your Christmas dinner – a small team or the whole company?
At noi Resort you can choose between two rooms overlooking Lake Rożnów:
| Room | Area | Capacity | Best for |
| Restaurant hall | 350 m² | up to 150 people seated | large companies, several departments together |
| Panoramio room | 100 m² | up to 30 people | small teams, management, departments |
The table layout can be adapted to the event: banquet, long tables or U-shape. On site there is a sound system, wireless microphones, a projector and a screen – useful for the year-end summary or wishes from the management. Free parking is available for guests.
Christmas dinner for companies – what is on the table?
Company Christmas dinners at noi Resort come in three menu packages with traditional festive flavours, from PLN 120 per person. We adapt the menu and the way it is served to your company's needs, and vegetarian dishes are available in every package.
Company Christmas dinner with accommodation – a trip instead of a single evening
More and more companies turn the dinner into a short trip. A company Christmas dinner with an overnight stay means nobody has to rush home, and the next day can be devoted to team-building.
noi Resort has rooms, apartments and cottages for 68 people in separate beds. Breakfast is included, and the stay can be extended by a day for a team-building trip.
Sample plan for a two-day company Christmas event
| Time | Day 1 | Day 2 |
| Morning | arrival at the resort | breakfast with a lake view |
| Afternoon | check-in, time in the wellness area | a walk by the lake, billiards or workshops |
| Evening | Christmas Eve dinner, wishes, sharing the Christmas wafer | departure |
Team attractions in December
A company Christmas dinner can be combined with attractions that are available in winter too:
- wellness area – Finnish sauna, aromatherapy sauna with a lake view, steam bath and indoor and outdoor jacuzzi,
- floating sauna – sauna sessions for the team,
- “RAK” boat cruise on Lake Rożnów – can be combined with dinner,
- massages and treatments at noi SPA – as a thank-you for your employees (extra charge).
The brave can try a cold dip in the lake after the sauna. Read how to do it safely in our guide How to start winter swimming? (in Polish).
