The run up to Christmas it can feel rather frantic… With shopping to be done, presents to wrap, Christmas trees to decorate, parties to attend and so much more, you can easily become overwhelmed.

With easy access routes to the Isle of Man from the U.K., now you can…

Stay

Is there anything more festive than a traditional cottage brightly lit with Christmas lights, or a cosy lodge nestled beside a beautiful frosty glen? Perhaps you’d rather stay in a sleek hotel where you can relax in style? The Isle of Man is filled with plenty of welcoming options.

See and Do

There isn’t a shortage of wholesome things to see and do on the Isle of Man throughout the winter. You might plan on taking a trip on one of Groudle Glen’s festive Santa or Mince Pie Trains, catching a show at the exquisite Gaiety Theatre, or soaking up some culture at one of the Island’s museums and visitor centres.

Connect

As the only nation in its entirety to be awarded a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status, the Isle of Man is the perfect place to switch off, recharge and connect to the environment.
