Christmas dining, from buffet to 225-dollar menu
Three of the resort’s restaurants have a Christmas programme: Ravello, Capa Steakhouse and Plancha. The press release describes the first two as Michelin recommended.
On Friday 25 December, Ravello will serve a buffet from 2pm to 8pm, at 170 dollars per adult and 58 dollars per child aged 2 to 12.
On 24 and 25 December, Capa Steakhouse will keep its full menu from 5pm to 10pm. Added to it will be a porterhouse, a 32-ounce (about 900g) dry-aged cut of beef for two to share, with a bone marrow bordelaise sauce, and a four-course tasting menu at 225 dollars per person. On Christmas Day, Plancha, at the golf clubhouse, will open from noon to 6pm, with Caha pork with cassava and a Yucatan-style salmon cooked in banana leaf.
Goofy at breakfast, from 48 dollars

It takes place every Thursday and Saturday, 24 and 31 December included, as well as on Tuesday 22 and Tuesday 29 December, from 7am to 11am. Allow 68 dollars per adult and 48 dollars per child.

The C’est Noël tea, by Rabii Saber
Executive pastry chef Rabii Saber is behind C’est Noël, a tea served at Ravello at weekends from 21 November to 20 December, bookable through OpenTable. On the menu: a caviar amuse-bouche, cinnamon cream, a pecan tart, a small matcha yuzu cake, a honey cake and a small chocolate reindeer cake. The press release gives no price. The chef is also displaying a gingerbread house in the lobby. In Tokyo, the Four Seasons at Otemachi is banking on chocolate for Christmas 2026.
At the Lickety Split café and patisserie, the festive gelatos arrive from 30 November 2026: cranberry pistachio, spiced cider sorbet, brown butter pecan, gingerbread cheesecake, peppermint chocolate and marshmallow hot chocolate.
