Looking for unforgettable Christmas breaks in Scotland or planning a big celebration for New Year 2025/2026? At Highland Hideouts, we offer holiday homes for large groups β perfect for family gatherings, festive getaways, and Hogmanay celebrations. And they are on offer!
Our five spacious ski-lodge-style properties are dotted around the Aviemore area in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Each lodge sleeps 12β23 guests and comes with private hot tubs, firepits, and cosy social spaces where everyone can come together.
Christmas in the Highlands is pure magic. Our lodges are fully decorated with Christmas trees and festive touches, making them feel like a home-from-home for your big family gathering.
We currently have just two Christmas stays remaining for 2025, so donβt miss out if youβre dreaming of a Highland Christmas.
Whether youβre waking up to snowy scenes (fingers crossed for a white Christmas!) or relaxing in your private hot tub with a glass of something festive, this is Christmas done right.
If youβre planning to ring in 2026 somewhere special, we still have limited availability for New Year breaks in Scotland.
New Year (or Hogmanay as we call it!) is a huge event in the Highlands. Gather your friends and family in one of our large holiday homes for a proper celebration. Enjoy long walks in the frosty hills, evenings around the firepit, and countdowns from the comfort of your private hot tub.
We currently have five New Year stays available, but they wonβt last long.
