Exciting December Updates at The 67 Escape
December 2025
December has arrived at The 67 Escape, bringing with it a season of celebration, relaxation, togetherness, and unforgettable moments beside the beautiful shores of Lake Elementaita.
As the year draws to a close, there is no better time to step away from the pace of everyday life and make space for the people and experiences that matter. Whether you're planning a festive family holiday, a romantic escape, a weekend with friends, or simply looking for somewhere peaceful to reflect and recharge before the new year, December offers the perfect opportunity to experience The 67 Escape at its most relaxed and welcoming.
From peaceful mornings overlooking the lake to afternoons beside the infinity pool and evenings gathered around the fire, the festive season at The 67 Escape is all about slowing down, reconnecting, and making the most of your time away.
A Festive Season by the Lake
There is something particularly special about spending the festive season surrounded by nature.
While December can be one of the busiest times of the year, The 67 Escape offers a chance to take a different approach. Instead of rushing from one commitment to another, guests can settle into the slower rhythm of the lake and enjoy the tranquillity of the Rift Valley.
Wake up to beautiful views, enjoy a relaxed morning, and take your time deciding how to spend the day. The surrounding landscape provides a peaceful backdrop whether you're travelling with children, spending time with your partner, or gathering with friends and family.
The warm December days are ideal for enjoying the outdoors, while the cooler evenings create the perfect atmosphere for gathering together.
You might spend your morning enjoying coffee with a view of Lake Elementaita, your afternoon relaxing beside the infinity pool, and your evening watching the colours of the sunset before gathering around the fire.
The beauty of a December stay at The 67 Escape is that there is no need to rush.
A December Escape for Families
For families, the festive season is an opportunity to spend uninterrupted time together away from school, work, and the routines of everyday life.
The 67 Escape provides space for families to enjoy both shared experiences and quiet moments. Children can stay active outdoors while parents take time to relax, and everyone can come together later for meals, games, and evening gatherings.
The property offers a setting where a family holiday can be as active or as relaxed as you want it to be.
Spend the afternoon swimming, challenge each other to a friendly game, explore the surrounding area, or simply enjoy time together in the comfort of your private accommodation.
For families staying in one of the larger private residences, having shared living spaces and a kitchen also makes it easier to maintain the feeling of being at home while enjoying a holiday away from home.
Make Time to Slow Down
The end of the year can be hectic.
Between Christmas preparations, travel, celebrations, family commitments, and planning for the year ahead, December can sometimes feel like anything but a holiday.
That's why making time to slow down can be one of the best gifts you give yourself.
At The 67 Escape, there is no expectation that every moment needs to be filled with activities.
Start the day slowly. Have breakfast without watching the clock. Sit somewhere with a view and enjoy your morning coffee. Read a book in the gazebo. Take a swim when you feel like it. Spend an afternoon simply enjoying the company of the people you're travelling with.
For guests who prefer a little more activity, there are plenty of ways to spend the day.
Challenge your friends or family to a game on the paddle court, practise your putting skills on the golf putting green, or cool off with a refreshing swim in the infinity pool.
And when you've had enough activity, simply stop.
Sometimes the best holiday plans are the ones that leave room for doing absolutely nothing.
Relax by the Infinity Pool
The infinity pool provides one of the most inviting places to spend a warm December afternoon.
Take a refreshing swim, relax beside the water, or simply enjoy the surrounding scenery while the day unfolds at its own pace.
For families, the pool provides an opportunity for children and adults to enjoy time together. For couples, it offers a peaceful place to unwind. For groups of friends, it becomes a natural gathering point during the day.
You don't need a complicated itinerary.
A few hours by the pool, good conversation, beautiful scenery, and nowhere else you need to be can be exactly what a December holiday needs.
Enjoy a Little Friendly Competition
If sitting still isn't your idea of a holiday, The 67 Escape also gives guests opportunities to stay active.
Head to the paddle court for a friendly game or test your accuracy on the golf putting green.
These activities are ideal for families, couples, and groups of friends because they add a little fun and friendly competition to the day without requiring you to leave the property.
Challenge someone in your group, organise a casual competition, or simply try something new.
The goal isn't necessarily to win. It's to have fun together.
Gather Around the Table
December is also about food.
Some of the most memorable moments of the festive season happen around a table—with family and friends sharing a meal, talking about the year that has passed, and enjoying each other's company.
The 67 Escape's private suites feature fully equipped kitchens, giving guests the flexibility to prepare their own meals and enjoy them in the comfort and privacy of their accommodation.
This can be particularly convenient for families or groups who want the freedom to follow their own schedule.
Prepare a relaxed breakfast before heading out for the day, make lunch when everyone is ready, or gather together for a home-style dinner in the evening.
There is no need to rush through a meal or work around a fixed schedule.
Private Chef Dining
For guests who want to make their December stay even more special, a private chef experience offers a more personalised approach to dining.
Enjoy restaurant-quality food without having to leave the property. Whether you're planning an intimate dinner for two, a family celebration, or a festive gathering with friends, private dining can turn an ordinary evening into part of the holiday experience.
Instead of worrying about shopping, preparation, and cooking, you can focus on the meal itself and the people around the table.
December provides plenty of reasons to celebrate, and a special meal can be the perfect way to mark the occasion.
Evenings Under the Stars
As the sun goes down, The 67 Escape takes on a completely different character.
The warmth and activity of the day give way to quieter evenings, with the open sky and peaceful surroundings creating an atmosphere that encourages guests to slow down once again.
One of the best places to experience the evening is around the Sunken Fire Pit.
Gather with your family or friends, feel the warmth of the flames, share stories, laugh about the day's adventures, and simply enjoy being together.
There is something timeless about sitting around a fire at the end of a day. Without the distractions of a busy city, conversations become longer, evenings feel slower, and simple moments become memorable.
The lake, the open sky, and the surrounding landscape provide a beautiful backdrop for a December evening.
Celebrate Together
The festive season is ultimately about togetherness.
For some guests, that may mean bringing the entire family together for Christmas. For others, it could be a weekend with close friends, a romantic break with a partner, or a quiet retreat before returning to work in the new year.
Whatever brings you to The 67 Escape, the property provides spaces where you can spend meaningful time together while still having room to relax independently.
Share breakfast. Take a swim. Play a game. Explore the surroundings. Enjoy dinner together. Sit around the fire.
The individual moments may seem simple, but together they become the memories you take home.
Discover Lake Elementaita
A stay at The 67 Escape also provides an opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Lake Elementaita and the surrounding Rift Valley.
The lake and its surrounding landscapes offer a peaceful change of scenery from urban life, with expansive views, open skies, and an abundance of birdlife.
For guests interested in photography and nature, the changing light throughout the day creates different perspectives of the landscape.
Early mornings can feel calm and atmospheric, while late afternoons bring warmer colours across the surroundings. As evening approaches, the landscape becomes particularly inviting for those looking to slow down and enjoy the scenery.
You don't always have to go far to experience something beautiful.
Sometimes, simply looking out across the landscape is enough.
A Place to End the Year
The end of the year naturally encourages reflection.
It's a chance to look back at everything the past twelve months have brought, appreciate the people who have been part of the journey, and think about what lies ahead.
A change of scenery can make that reflection even more meaningful.
Away from the usual demands of work and everyday routines, The 67 Escape provides a peaceful environment where you can take a breath, spend time with loved ones, and enter the new year feeling refreshed.
Whether your December plans involve celebration and activity or quiet mornings and long conversations, there is room for both.
Create Your Own December Experience
One of the things we love about a getaway at The 67 Escape is that there is no single way to experience it.
Your perfect December day might look like this:
Wake up slowly and enjoy coffee while taking in the lake views. Have breakfast with your family before spending the morning by the pool. In the afternoon, challenge your friends to a game on the paddle court or spend some quiet time reading in the gazebo.
As the afternoon turns into evening, return to your private space and get ready for dinner. Enjoy a meal prepared in your kitchen or arrange a private chef experience for your group.
Then, as the stars begin to appear, gather around the Sunken Fire Pit.
Talk. Laugh. Reflect. Enjoy the moment.
Or perhaps your perfect day involves doing far less.
And that's perfectly fine too.
