Why Beaches Resorts® Is The Official Caribbean Vacation of The Elf on the Shelf®

The countdown to Christmas has begun, and Santa’s busiest little helpers are preparing for another joyful season of holiday magic, but not without a little rest and relaxation under the Caribbean sun. This holiday season, the magic of The Elf on the Shelf® Santaverse™ returns to Beaches Resorts, inviting families to bring their most beloved traditions to paradise, where festive fun meets total relaxation.

Now in its third year, this whimsical partnership between Beaches Resorts and The Lumistella Company, creators of The Elf on the Shelf Santaverse, comes with Santa’s official stamp of approval, granting families special permission to bring their Scout Elves to the Caribbean. Against a backdrop of white-sand beaches, swaying palms, and endless sunshine, unforgettable holiday memories await.

From November 28 through December 31, 2025 (and returning for the 2026 festive season), families will enjoy Scout Elf-themed weekly parties, holiday movie nights under the stars, exciting scavenger hunts, creative arts and crafts, and sweet surprises sprinkled throughout the resort. At Beaches Resorts, holiday traditions don’t pause; they simply shine brighter with a tropical twist. Read on to learn why Beaches Resorts is the Official Caribbean Vacation of The Elf on the Shelf.

Beaches Resorts’ Sweet Island Soirée ft. The Elf on the Shelf

Once a week, Beaches Turks & Caicos and Beaches Negril burst to life with a sugar-kissed celebration that’s as magical as it is mouthwatering. Picture candy-striped stilt walkers, whimsical “sugar fairies,” and Scout Elf-approved treats galore – from cookie bars and dazzling cakes to festive ornament-making stations. With lively music, photo-ready moments at every turn, and sweet surprises for all ages, this merry soirée is where island vibes meet holiday magic.

Special Butler Suite Pampering

Families staying in Beaches’ luxurious Butler Suites can look forward to extra holiday sparkle with exclusive V.I.E. (Very Important Scout Elf) pampering. Scout Elves and their families are treated to pint-sized surprises curated by Beaches Butlers: miniature milk and cookies, marshmallow bubble baths, festive trail mix, and cozy holiday movie-night kits. It’s a whimsical touch that makes every stay feel even more magical.

Take holiday tunes to the tropics! Festive karaoke nights are part of the elf-approved fun, letting families and Scout Elves belt out classic Christmas songs with a sunny twist. Think of it as Christmas caroling, just better. Plus, children can gather for storytime, where beloved books from The Elf on the Shelf Santaverse are read aloud, bringing holiday magic to life.

Holiday Movie Nights Under the Caribbean Sky

At Beaches Resorts, holiday magic shines even brighter under the stars. Families can cozy up together for special screenings from  The Elf on the Shelf Santaverse, complete with all the sweet fixings: freshly popped popcorn, gooey toasted marshmallows, and festive treats. With palm trees swaying overhead and the moonlight as your backdrop, it’s a cinematic holiday tradition reimagined, Caribbean-style.

Spreading Christmas Cheer With the Sandals Foundation

Beaches Resorts and Scout Elves are celebrating the true spirit of the season, combining festive fun with meaningful giving. Guests can create handmade holiday cards infused with a touch of North Pole magic, while supporting the Sandals Foundation’s mission to deliver thousands of toys to children across the Caribbean. It’s holiday joy with heart, bringing families together to make a real difference.

Scout Elf Central

The ultimate hub for holiday fun, Scout Elf Central is a playful command post where families and their Scout Elves can map out every elf-tastic activity happening across the resort.
