At La Mamounia, the festive season is more dazzling than ever!
Published on 19 November 2025
December at La Mamounia is always a magical time of year. And the 2025–2026 festive programme promises to ensure this eagerly awaited moment is filled with all the joy and enchantment of a truly unique celebration.
From 1 December, gourmet delights take centre stage with Pierre Hermé's mouthwatering creations which, every year, offer a new twist on traditional Christmas specialities. Available at La Boutique Pierre Hermé and online, the range includes glazed chestnuts, truffles, signature chocolates, panettone, stollen and, of course, his divine Yule logs brimming with delectable citrus and chocolate notes. All these heavenly treats can also be enjoyed at Le Salon de Thé and Le Menzeh, further enhancing the most refined of afternoon teas.
At La Boutique Mamounia you will find countless gift ideas for young and old alike, with a wide selection of stylish accessories, soft toys, fragrant souvenirs and more, all perfect for placing under the tree or on the festive table to delight your loved ones.
When it comes to culinary experiences, La Mamounia's restaurants invite you to enjoy celebrations that are as delicious as they are diverse, and all with a strong emphasis on sharing. Together with your loved ones, savour lobster, black truffles and foie gras, scallops, Agadir sea bass and braised turbot, Bresse chicken and Wagyu beef fillet, lobster pastilla and lamb shank with thyme-infused honey, to name but a few. Festive delicacies brought to life by our chefs through creations that pair the ultimate in refinement and creativity.
On 24 and 25 December, guests can enjoy exquisite dishes at our charming trattoria, L'Italien by Simone Zanoni, together with those served at the special Christmas Brunch held at Le Pavillon de la Piscine on the big day itself.
Between 26 and 29 December, a delightful musical interlude will be held every evening at the Majorelle Gallery between 7.30pm and 9pm, offering festive moments in which to soak up the early evening atmosphere, in the build-up to New Year's Eve!
And as the grand finale to these festivities, New Year's Eve will be marked by an array of celebrations, all accompanied by upbeat sounds from a host of live bands. Six exceptional soirées, each offering a different gastronomic experience and bubbles aplenty, will take place at the Mamounia Gallery, L'Oenothèque, L'Asiatique by Jean-Georges, L'Italien by Simone Zanoni, Le Marocain and the Majorelle Gallery.
On 1 January, our New Year's Day Brunch invites you to usher in 2026 on a high at Le Pavillon de la Piscine.
