Natale al Mare di Roma Village

Christmas comes to the Ardea coast

Every year, as the holidays approach, the Mare di Roma Village in Marina di Ardea gets dressed up for the season, becoming one of the most beloved Christmas destinations on the coast south of Rome. Located within the MarediRoma Golf Club on Via Enna, a true Christmas village comes to life for an entire weekend, designed for all ages, families, and even four-legged friends. The event, which reached its eighth edition in 2025, combines the festive atmosphere with the warmth of a family-run venue, nestled in greenery and overlooking the Tyrrhenian coast of the Municipality of Ardea.

Markets, crafts, and gift ideas

The heart of the event lies in the charming Christmas markets, where you can find original gift ideas and local artisan creations: handmade items, unique tree decorations, and small specialties that tell the story of the region. Strolling through the decorated stalls, with lights and Christmas music in the background, is the best way to get into the holiday spirit and support local artisans.

A program for families and children

The little ones are the true stars: creative workshops and entertainment with games, hands-on activities, and live shows fill the days. There is also the Santa Claus house, complete with souvenir photos and small gifts (while supplies last), to give children a magical moment. There is also plenty of space for animals, with the gentle presence of a pony and a friendly donkey participating in pet therapy activities, alongside a fun pet parade.

Vintage cars, golf, and Christmas carols

The event also features an exhibition of vintage cars, with iconic models that bring the atmosphere of yesteryear to life, an introduction to golf for beginners and the curious, and traditional Christmas carols, with melodies and songs that warm the heart. Between street food, the restaurant, and the bar, the day often concludes with a convivial polenta dinner and the classic tombola.

Ardea and Christmas in Lazio

Located on the Roman coast between Rome and Anzio, Ardea is one of the coastal destinations in the Province of Rome, in the Lazio region. For the local community, the Natale al Mare di Roma Village represents a simple and genuine gathering, capable of blending holiday traditions with family entertainment and the promotion of local craftsmanship. It is an unmissable appointment for those seeking the magic of Christmas just a stone's throw from the sea, far from the crowds of the large city markets.
