Festive Nights
From 1 December
As shadows grow long on the beach, Watergate lights up with seasonal spirit…
New dining experiences on the shoreline, hands-on workshops and Champagne tastings, intimate music sessions and a dozen Christmas trees each telling a different story. Join us for an advent of Festive Nights this December.
