A holiday trip can center on a familiar tradition or introduce a different way to spend the season. This selection pairs Porto’s Atlantic coastline with Vila Foz, mountain stays at CERVO and Dunton, and private journeys through Sri Lanka and Croatia with Experience Travel Group and Secret Dalmatia. For travel advisors shaping Christmas and New Year’s 2026, each offers a different pace and setting. Planning starts with the moments clients want to share, then brings together the right accommodation, meals and experiences around them.
CERVO Mountain Resort
Zermatt gives Christmas and New Year’s a mountain setting, with the Matterhorn in view and plenty of reasons to spend time outdoors.
At CERVO Mountain Resort, contemporary Alpine design sits alongside a relaxed social atmosphere, with rooms, suites and serviced apartments offering different ways to stay. Dining is part of the experience: Ferdinand focuses on Swiss products, including fondue and raclette, while Bazaar brings a more international influence.
Between mountain outings and evenings around the table, Ātman Mountain Spa offers a Japanese-inspired onsen, herbal bathing and spaces for rest.
For travel advisors planning a festive escape, CERVO suits clients who want to combine the activity of a Zermatt winter with good food, a sociable atmosphere and time to slow down.
