Ring in the New Year in New York City , or spend it by the fire with a favorite bottle of Champagne in the Rockies. Be one of the first in the world to welcome 2024 in Sydney, or dance the night away in a Mexican town square as the calendar pages turn. Or seek out a unique spot to kick off a new year. Think a luxury cruise or a train ride. Forget the popular—abscond to a remote island or a private beach. Leave the city lights behind, and head for a national park, where you might spot a shooting star (the Quadrantids meteor shower does peak this time of year). Read on to discover our editors' picks for the best places to get away for New Year's Eve.

Sea Island, Georgia

Take the plunge in 2024—the polar bear plunge, that is. It’s just one of many daily New Year’s activities from Mimosas and Masterpieces (a fun twist on paint and sip) to cooking demonstrations featuring the flavors of various local restaurants to rousing games of bingo, a cherished tradition for more than 50 years, on this private island off Georgia’s southeastern coast.

Five-star accommodations await at The Cloister and The Lodge, or rent a cottage for all the comforts of home, plus full resort and beach club access and concierge service. Don’t forget to pack your clubs so you can play a round (or two) on the three championship golf courses.

Each year more than a million people flock to the magnificent harbor of Australia’s largest city to bring the New Year in with a bang. And you won’t find a more iconic or centrally located place to land than InterContinental Sydney, set inside the beautifully restored Treasury Building of 1851.

Opt for a harbor-view room in the Sky’s the Limit package for front-row seats to the world-famous fireworks extravaganza. After the next day’s recovery brunch at rooftop bar Aster, stroll through the nearby Royal Botanic Garden or along Manly Beach—after all it is summer down under.

Book Your Stay

Get a glimpse of what the future holds with a synastry reading for two as part of Grand Wailea’s Tropical New Year. The couple-centric package also includes a revitalizing massage, a private outdoor yoga or spin class, and premium luau seating. At this Hawaiian oasis, luxuriate in a newly renovated suite featuring a bathroom dripping with Afyon Sugar marble, walls adorned with curated contemporary art, and a secluded lanai furnished with solid teak.

Dive deep into the native landscape and culture with exclusive experiences like a personalized tour of conservation lands with a local guide and hula or kukui nut bracelet–making lessons.

Rio de Janeiro

You, along with about two million of your “closest” friends, are invited to Réveillon (aka New Year’s Eve) on Rio’s famed 2.5-mile curved beach. Dress is smart casual; white is suggested (for good luck in the year ahead). The soiree in front of Copacabana Palace officially begins with drinks at 8 p.m.

You definitely need to arrive by 10 p.m. so as not to miss the big-name musical acts, the fireworks, and the rush into the ocean after midnight to jump seven small waves and make a wish or give thanks with each one. Then move to the hotel pool, where DJs keep the party going ‘til dawn.

Highlands, North Carolina

This quaint town nestled in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains is a delightful winter destination. For beautiful natural surroundings, delicious food, well-appointed rooms, luxe spa services, and true Southern hospitality, stay at Old Edwards Inn and Spa.

On New Year's Eve, make a reservation for dinner at one of the on-property restaurants and toast the new year with Champagne and live music as the clock strikes midnight in the Hummingbird Lounge. The next day, enjoy complimentary Bloody Marys and mimosas while you watch the College Football Playoff semifinal games.

Escape to warmer weather, white sand beaches, and crystal clear water this New Year's Eve. Book a suite or villa at The Cove , a secluded jewel box on this Bahamian island. The intimate resort features a hilltop infinity pool, open-air dining, and a world-class spa. Whether you want an action-packed trip (think swimming with pigs, paddleboarding, kayaking, biking, or snorkeling) or something a bit more relaxed, you can certainly find it here.

We're dreaming of an English holiday this year spent with The Lanesborough as our home base. The legendary mansion turned hotel with the help of Alberto Pinto is seated right off Hyde Park and near some of the city's best shopping and dining and seasonal festivities.

The hotel also offers a New Year's Eve in Residence package with a seven-course dinner at the Michelin-starred flagship restaurant December 31, complimentary breakfast served to your room after a long night, and extra-late checkout to ensure you celebrate big.

New Orleans

If you're looking for larger-than-life fun a little closer to home, then consider spending your New Year's weekend in the Big Easy. This historic Southern city is full of festive programming from a citywide party in Jackson Square to live music and dancing to unforgettable dining at institutions like Galatoire's Restaurant. Maison de la Luz is one of our favorite hotels for a chic getaway with design inspiration from Studio Shamshiri at every turn.

The Caribbean is always a hot spot for leisurely long weekends in the winter, and we're partial to Anguilla's enchanting beaches and ultrafabulous resorts. Book a stay at the Kelly Wearstler–designed Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla with its showstopping villas, impeccable views, and fabulous amenities that offer something for everyone in your party.

Deer Valley, Utah

This luxurious Park City, Utah, enclave is a favorite place to seek adventure, unwind, and reconnect with nature, making it a top spot for a New Year's break. While you can't go wrong with selecting from the incredible roster of resorts and hotels in the area, Stein Eriksen Lodge always earns high marks for its vast array of well-appointed accommodations, award-winning dining at Glitretind, and one of the best spas around.

New York City

What a treat to ring in 2024 in New York City! Reserve a room at the thoughtfully reimagined Park Lane hotel on Central Park South to be at the center of all the city's best activities, and spend NYE with a glass of new- or old-world wine in hand as you take in the fireworks from the 47th floor at Darling, the only rooftop lounge on Billionaire Row.

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Jonesing for color, inspiration, and a more temperate clime? Mexico's San Miguel is an ideal choice for kicking off 2024. This vibrant destination is full of New Year's Eve traditions that pull from different countries around the world. Join the citywide celebration in the famous Jardín Allende, where fireworks and dancing take place. Then retreat to Mesón Hidalgo , a converted late 17th-century house by designer Laura Kirar. And leave plenty of room in your suitcase for shopping local makers within the charming hotel.

Athens, Greece

Athens, Greece, is a top year-end destination, as the city is full of live music and dance performances, fireworks, rooftop cocktail parties, and plenty of other festive activities. Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens hosts a famed dinner and wine pairing on New Year's Eve, along with a party at the hotel. Those looking for a refuge from the hustle and bustle will love the neoclassical accommodations at Monsieur Didot near Neapoli, which is home to some of the city's oldest bookstores.

The Swiss Alps

It doesn't get much better than a wintry Alpine getaway to celebrate the New Year. We're fantasizing about a stay at the glorious Gstaad Palace to spend our holiday skiing, enjoying legendary Swiss wellness experiences at the Palace Spa, and reveling in the luxury hotel's nightlife. The resort also features an annual "Last Dinner" event on New Year's Eve with a spectacular prix fixe menu.

Cape Town, South Africa

New Year's in South Africa's "mother city" means wine dinners at iconic local vineyards, celebrations at the V&A Waterfront, and watching fireworks at Table Mountain. Start the New Year in style at the glamorous Cape Cadogan , a Georgian-Victorian townhouse that has been transformed into a boutique hotel in the enchanting Kloof Street neighborhood. The hotel boasts amenities from jazz tours and safari excursions to food and wine experiences and ecotourism alongside the New Year's festivities.

Sedona, Arizona

Have you been missing some adventure in your life? Us, too. Get the full hiking, biking, and exploring experience in picturesque Boynton Canyon from Enchantment Resort's Trail House. The secluded vacation spot is also home to the world-renowned Mii amo spa . Plus winter is Sedona's slow season, so you won't be facing big crowds while taking a day trip to the Grand Canyon or discovering the desert town's incredible arts, culture, and restaurants.

The Florida Keys

Feel worlds away without a passport with a New Year's escape to the Florida Keys. This stretch of barrier islands is perfect for those looking for more laid-back options in South Florida. Find a true boater's paradise in Marlin Bay Resort & Marina , which features 13 luxury vacation homes on the property. Grab your favorite couple or a few of your dearest friends, and spend the long weekend cruising the Atlantic.

Palm Springs

This quirky Southern California city is a great getaway for a lively yet low-key New Year's Eve. Lounge by the pool all day, or embark on some fun design adventures. Take a tour of the area's famous midcentury modern architecture, visit the Moorten Botanical Garden, and explore the natural beauty of Joshua Tree National Park. Round out your stay at the retro-chic Parker Palm Springs , which will have you feeling as if you're in a glamorous vintage postcard.

Highlights of Germany

A fascinating, (sometimes too) whistlestop tour of German towns and cities. The tour guide Zsofi and her driver were probably the best I've ever had - they were helpful, upbeat and very clear in their instructions. Trip 'Good' rather than 'Excellent' because of the location of the hotels, most of which were so on the outskirts of a city that it limited what we could do in our free time. Also, some days towards the end of the tour were a bit rushed - the whole thing could stand to be at least two days longer.

BEST OF GERMANY BY TRAIN

Javier was very helpful all the way. he always answered quickly via WhatsApp. It s necessary to clarify that this is practically a self-guided tour for the most part. you will join some local tours but you travel on your own and you have remote support and guidance. As a recommendation get a SIM card from Aldi and get credit at the store to load and set up a local data service. Overall a very good experience.

I'm very happy with quality of hotels. A bit disappointed with diamond cutting tour in Amsterdam, would be better to have a free time walking around the city in the daylight. Great guides, nice and caring people but mostly Spanish speaking. :( Overall, i loved it, nice experience for 1st time visitors.

Really enjoyed this tour. It was exactly what we were looking for, the independence to do what we wanted on some days and some tours organised for us on other days. Communication from Tour radar was great through What’s App. The only thing we would change would be to upgrade the two 3 star motels to 4 star motels.

See our list of destinations below, and be sure to verify all events and venues, which are subject to change, before you go.

Have a Blast in Las Vegas, Nevada

The ball drop in Times Square is iconic, but there are other terrific places for a last-minute New Year's Eve getaway in 2023. Take Las Vegas, where the party never stops . On Dec. 31, traffic closes on the Strip and it becomes a huge block party. Hotels and clubs host festive gatherings, and visitors 21 and older can head to the Time of Your Life Festival at the Freemont Street Experience for live music, casino action, more than 60 restaurants and spectacular, free light and sound shows on the Viva Vision screen. (You can't miss it; it boasts 12.5 million digital lights and a 550,000-watt sound system.)

Las Vegas, Nevada

You can see fireworks from almost anywhere in Vegas including the pedestrian bridges, because they're launched from multiple locations.

Vegas is also fun for family getaways for New Year's Eve. Take the kids to see David Copperfield's illusions at the MGM Grand and amazing acrobatics at Cirque du Soleil or let everyone take a whirl around The Cosmopolitan's ice rink . Look for more last-minute New Year's Eve ideas at Visit Las Vegas .

Make a Splash in Key West, Florida

Drop everything. That's what they do in Key West. Take a last-minute New Year's Eve getaway to this sunny paradise, where they'll welcome 2023 with several tropical-themed ball drops. Look for a conch shell drop at Sloppy Joe's , the famous bar once frequented by author Ernest Hemingway. A drag queen will ride a red high-heeled shoe as it drops at the Bourbon Street Pub / New Orleans House complex, while a giant Key lime splashes down into an oversized margarita glass at Sunset Pier .

About two hours before sunset on New Year's Eve (and every other night), head to the Mallory Square Sunset Celebration for drinks, food, music, magicians, jugglers and more. Stay until the glowing orange sun drops into the sea. If you're hungry, make the short walk to El Meson de Pepe for Cuban cuisine and a Cuban Cigar Drop.

For a watery New Year's Eve weekend getaway, visit Casa Marina Key West ; this private beach, the largest on the island, has two pools (one for adults only) and water activities like jet skiing and dolphin-watching tours. Find more last-minute New Year's Eve ideas at Visit Florida .

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth in Mobile, Alabama

Mobilians like to say the city was born to celebrate, including with kids. Take your littles to a special "Kids Zone" in Mardi Gras Park on New Year's Eve from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a bedtime-friendly MoonPie drop at noon.

Mobile, Alabama

Approximately half a million MoonPies are tossed to the crowds during an average Carnival season. Mobilians eat more MoonPies per capita than anywhere else — even in the pie's hometown of Chattanooga, Tenn.

Tad Denson/Visit Mobile

Mardi Gras started in Mobile, and in the mid-1900s, locals started tossing MoonPies from parade floats. Sailing the wrapped treats into the crowd is now a tradition. At midnight, Mobile drops a 600-pound MoonPie , said to be the world's biggest electric MoonPie, while fireworks and a laser light show play overhead. Don't leave before you get your piece of the pie. A giant edible MoonPie will be cut and shared in the courtyard of the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel . Find more ideas for a last-minute New Year's getaway in 2023 at Visit Mobile .

Party Hearty in Chicago

The Windy City's got it going on. At Navy Pier , Offshore Rooftop — named the world's largest rooftop in the 2019 Guinness Book of World Records — plans a New Year's Eve premium open bar from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. with a live DJ and spectacular views of the fireworks. Dinner and champagne cruises will depart from the Pier that evening.

Chicago, Illinois

Navy Pier, a 3300-foot-long pier on the shore of Lake Michigan, has three floors of fun for the entire family on New Year's Eve.

Party like it's the 1920s at Gatsby's Roaring '20s New Year's Eve Soiree at JW Marriott Chicago or Gatsby's Penthouse at Altitude at the W Chicago - Lakeshore .

Tie on a seafood bib and indulge in a whole king crab presented tableside at Shaw's Crab House , or choose from the holiday menu available from Dec. 22-31 at Shula's Steak House .

Kids aged 3 and up can accompany adults to see The Blue Man Group at Chicago's Briar Street Theater . These blue-painted performers combine drumming with comedy and lots of splashing paint. Find more to do for a last-minute New Year's getaway at Choose Chicago .

Cruise Around Los Angeles

You could spend more than one night enjoying the end-of-the-year festivities in and around Los Angeles. Take a family getaway for New Year's Eve 2023 with rides, shows and other attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood's Eve event or catch the fireworks downtown at Gloria Molina Grand Park .

Los Angeles, California

After the Tournament of Roses parade on New Year's Day, you can walk around for a closer look at the flower-laden floats.

More last-minute New Year's ideas: Book a moonlight New Year's Eve party cruise at Marina Del Rey or party aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Don't miss the beautiful lantern sculptures of animals, trees and more at the LA Zoo Lights Event, Animals Aglow , which runs from Nov. 17 to Jan. 7, 2024. Just don't stay out too late. You'll want to wake up in time to see Pasadena's Tournament of Roses parade and Rose Bowl Game on Jan. 1, 2024. Check Discover Los Angeles for more on the New Year's Eve festivities.

Let the Good Times Roll in New Orleans

In New Orleans, a 6-foot, 100-pound LED fleur de lis drops at midnight on New Year's Eve at Jax Brewery near Jackson Square . (You can't miss it; it's home to the biggest party in town.) Catch the fireworks display over the Mississippi River or, for more music and entertainment, visit a big venue like the House of Blues or an intimate bar or club on Frenchmen Street between the French Quarter and Marigny neighborhoods.

New Orleans, Louisiana

Ring in 2024 with a lavish multi-course meal at Chemin a la Mer or try Miss River for regional cuisine. Toast with champagne at the Four Season Hotel New Orleans , where the chandelier in the bar sparkles with 1,500 Bohemian crystals.

On Jan. 1, 2024, watch the Sugar Bowl Parade and visit Caesars Superdome for the Allstate Sugar Bowl Game . (The game is officially sold out, but Sugar Bowl Committee members suggest trying Ticketmaster for verified resales). Click here for more last-minute plans for New Year's Eve.

Be a "Spec-tater" in Boise, Idaho

When the clock strikes midnight, New Yorkers drop a glittering ball. Atlanta drops a peach, while a giant beach ball descends in Panama City, Florida. In Boise, thousands of "spec-taters" gather to cheer for a huge potato. This free New Year's Eve Idaho Potato Drop supports local arts, businesses and various charities.

Boise, Idaho

Start your Boise family getaway for New Year's Eve 2023 at 6 p.m. with live bands, vendors selling food and drinks, selfies made with a costumed Spuddy Buddy and the Big Idaho Potato Tour truck. Later, an illuminated GlowTato will rise over the Idaho State Capitol. Until it does, enjoy the fireworks and Urban Air Exhibition , where world-class skiers and snowboarders, pulled at 40 miles an hour onto a launch positioned between columns of flames, will do amazing aerial stunts.

Don't feel like a small potato at this event. If you get cold, ask the Idaho Concierge about the heated, elegant VIP (very important potato) room. The highlight of the night, of course, is when the GlowTato drops — like a hot potato.

Catch the Magic in Orlando, Florida

Orlando's Walt Disney World knows how to throw a party for adults and kids, which is why it's always packed on New Year's Eve. Depending on when you go, you may need a Park Pass Reservation and a valid theme park admission to get in. If the Disney hotels are full, look for last-minute family getaway accommodations in the surrounding area. Most run shuttles to and from the parks.

New Year's Eve Fireworks at Disney's Magic Kingdom

At Disney’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Fla., the “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks start at 11:50 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.

Kent Phillips

The most popular fireworks show is The Fantasy in the Sky at the Magic Kingdom, which includes laser lights and other special effects. Feel like dancing? Head to the parties at Tomorrowland and Frontierland . OK, maybe the prices and crowds at Walt Disney World in Orlando mean it isn't the best choice for a last-minute New Year's getaway. But it's one of the most fun, and besides, who wants to disappoint the kids (or themselves)? Events can change, so watch the Disney Parks blog for news and updates on the holiday events.

Find Your Jam in Nashville

In Music City, Jack Daniel's New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash will welcome 2024 with Grammy Award-nominated artist Thomas Rhett, current CMA and ACM Female Vocalist of the Year Lainey Wilson, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd and a spectacular fireworks display. At midnight, the city's signature red music note is set to drop from a 138-foot pole. The Big Bash will be free and open to the public at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park State Park .

Nashville, Tennessee

Some of Nashville's most famous bars and venues will also host parties and other events. For a last-minute New Year's Eve weekend getaway, scoop up tickets on Dec. 30-31 to the Old Crow Medicine Show at the Ryman Auditorium .

If you're 21 or older, get the VIP treatment at the ticketed Gold Circle Party , a private event at the Nashville Farmers Market .

Sing Auld Lang Syne in Edinburgh, Scotland

You'll need a New Year's Eve weekend getaway for this one, but it'll be worth it. Join merrymakers from around the world in Edinburgh to celebrate Hogmanay (the Scottish word for the last day of the year). This year, the three-day festival runs from Dec. 29 to to New Year's Day. The festivities begin when some 20,000 people parade with wax-based torches (like big candles) to raise money for various charities.

Edinburgh, Scotland

A parade of partiers carrying torches creates a spectacular "river of fire" as they proceed through Edinburgh's historic Old Town on New Year's Eve.

On Dec. 30, the ABBA tribute band Björn Again will headline a family-friendly Night Afore Disco Party beneath Edinburgh Castle. It will appear with Massaoke, a live, U.K.-based band known for leading sing-alongs (think of Massaoke as mass karaoke).

Join a street party, catch a concert in West Princes Street Gardens or count down to midnight at the city's premier indoor party in The Assembly Rooms , where revelers will ring bells and play Gaelic folk music. Want a quieter intro to 2024? Welcome the turn of the calendar with music written for brass, choir and organ in a candlelit concert at St. Giles Cathedral .

13 Relaxing NYE Getaways That'll Help You Kick Off 2023 On A Restorative Note

With nary a disco ball in sight.

Despite what the movies might imply, New Year’s Eve is rarely as glamorous and cinematic as it’s made out to be. Realistically, it often entails some combination of pricey pre-fixed menus, can’t-hear-the-person-next-to-you volume levels, and late bedtimes that usually result in a groggy morning. If you live and breathe a traditional NYE soirée then go on; be free to plan a boisterous night beneath the disco ball. But if you’ve grown tired of kicking off the start of a new year in a Champagne-induced, sleep-deprived slump , consider the following: a relaxing New Year’s Eve getaway as an alternate option. More specifically, you can plan a trip with the sole focus of recharging your mind, body, and spirit for 2023. Sounds pretty appealing, no?

A rejuvenating New Year’s Eve escape can manifest in several different ways — from a quick staycation to a multi-day visit to tranquil locations reached by a quick flight. Depending on your budget and holiday time off from work, the 13 ideas below touch on several parts of the states and surrounding vacation destinations that should spark ideas and, more importantly, wanderlust. From ‘sleep suites’ on the west coast to rituals in the jungles of Mexico , continue ahead to discover where you’ll be spending December 31 this year.

Wellness Retreat in the Desert

Long regarded as one of the most spiritual landscapes on earth, the desert is a fitting backdrop for a restorative escape. At CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa in Carefree, Arizona the property is hosting a three-night retreat themed around the New Year with the healing energy of the Sonoran Desert sitting front and center — yes, the town is actually named Carefree. Throughout the retreat guests (with the aid of special guest Alex Elle) will work to expand their wellness toolboxes with sessions on how to mindfully manage stress, increase calm with breath work, reframe their relationship with exercise, and cultivate deeper connections. All of this, combined with the resort’s signature spa treatments and largely plant-based cuisine will serve as a nourishing kickoff to 2023.

Mental Reset in Belize

For those traveling from states like Florida or Texas, a flight to Belize can be as quick as three hours or less, making it a manageable getaway for a New Year’s Eve trip. Matachica Resort is a picturesque beachfront property that’s situated along the second largest barrier reef in the world and is currently offering a Reset Package for an indulgent recharge. During the seven-night retreat, travelers will partake in a smattering of relaxing experiences like a deep tissue massage, Mayan body scrub, private yoga and meditation session, private snorkeling tour, among other blood-pressure-reducing activities.

Spa Day in Upstate New York

Sometimes the secret to a restorative getaway is as simple as a good old fashioned spa day. If this sentiment resonates with your travel goals, head for newly opened Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection in New York’s Hudson Valley. The property is surrounded by meadows and wild woodlands and features a 9,000-square-foot wellness facility called Thistle (this is where you’ll be spending most of your time, as a heads up). Slow down your mind with the spa’s treatments that lean on hand-harvested botanical oils, scrubs, and flower remedies; afterward, unwind in the outdoor hot tubs and indoor saltwater pool. If you’re looking to get active, the hotel also has an open-air fitness center and three miles of hiking trails.

Cenote Rituals in Quintana Roo

For anyone who has journeyed to Mexico’s Riviera Maya region, you already know the dramatic beauty of visiting the cenote, a hole in the earth consumed by fresh groundwater and considered sacred to the Maya and regarded as the gateway to the underworld in pre-Hispanic cultures. Rosewood Mayakoba offers a Cenote Healing Retreat that feels distinctly aligned with a new year reset. During this two-day journey, guests will partake in Mayan shamanic-inspired rituals, energy-healing session, or a meditative sound bath (the experience is customized based on the indentations of the individual). The private retreat will take place at two secret cenotes — one ‘open’ and one ‘closed’ as well as a closing shamanic ceremony.

Sleep Suites in Rancho Santa Fe

For many reasons, San Diego is a natural pick for an energizing getaway to begin the new year — the landscape is serene, the heritage runs deep, and everything seems to flow on a slower track. Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa in Rancho Santa Fe harnesses these benefits with its Sleep suites in partnership with Bryte . Book one of these and enjoy a relaxing basket of spa amenities upon arrival like a sleep mask, bath salts, lavender oil, private yoga or meditation session, and turndown service with caffeine free herbal tea. You’ll also doze off each night in a Bryte’s Restorative Bed that has an integrated technology ecosystem to improve the quality of your Zzzs.

Ocean Preservation in the Maldives

It’s no secret that doing good for others makes you feel better. If you’re looking for ways to give back as a framework for beginning 2023, incorporate it into your travel plans. At Patina Maldives, Fari Islands guests can recharge in one of the most breathtaking places on earth while also participating in ocean conservation. Their events run the gamut from organized beach clean-ups with marine biologists and adopting turtles with the Oliver Ridley Project to coral propagation initiatives that include a boat ride to plant a frame in the reef. There’s even pottery lessons with Kevala artisans at the Marine Biology center that dissect how ceramics can play a part in coral reef restoration.

Equine Therapy in the Berkshires

If you’ve spent time around horses you already know their magic; these majestic creatures possess a certain sort of spiritual wisdom that can be felt simply by existing in their presence. At Miraval Berkshires located in Lenox, Massachusetts the wellness-oriented resort has a dedicated equine program that nods to the power of the horse. Guests coming here for a rejuvenating getaway can choose from several different themed experiences (Centaur Meditation, Horse Sense, and Hooves & Heartbeats, to name a few). These workshops aim to leave visitors with new insights and tools that they can take home with them, just in time for the new year.

Treehouse Treatments in St. Lucia

Take your New Year’s Eve recharge to the next level with an escape to Saint Lucia in the Caribbean. Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort is nestled within 100 acres of rainforest and the UNESCO World Heritage site Val des Pitons. Scenic surroundings aside, the property’s Rainforest Spa is a major draw — each individual treatment room is housed within a unique treehouse. Inside, wellness seekers can enjoy a bamboo massage or hot rock therapy that uses ingredients from nearby volcanic springs and cocoa plantations. The spa is also partnered with Tata Harper for an exclusive treatment called the Rainforest Renewal Ritual —a gentle, powerful body peel followed by a full-body massage and revitalizing facial.

Tranquility on a Tennessee Farm

Opening in December just in time for a New Year’s Eve getaway, Southall in Franklin, Tennessee is a 325-acre working farm that’s been transformed into a pastoral resort. The property has a 15,000 square-foot spa with a steam room, sauna, and outdoor mineral pool overlooking the private lake. There’s also a smattering of thoughtful treatments like The Lotus Effect that uses a lemongrass sugar scrub or The Rock Star massage that works with Himalayan salt tones and candle oil for the ultimate skin-conditioning effect. And for those inspired by farm life, enjoy a tour or book a cooking demonstration to learn how to live off the land.

Guided Breathwork on the Coast of Baja

Another new opening, Rancho Pescadero located along the coast of Baja Mexico is located on 30 acres of unspoiled oceanfront beauty. The property’s focus on wellness makes it a worthy New Year’s Eve visit, especially with villas that feature private plunge pools, fire pits, and outdoor showers. Beyond this, though, the activities really shine here — like the Cacoa Ceremony. On this journey, guests take strong organic cacao from Tabasco and partake in a traditional ritual that’s combined with breath work for a powerful experience. If you're looking for something lighter, Rancho Pescadero also has a candle-making class that challenges participants to pour their positive intentions into the new year with their new creation.

In-Room Treatments in Cape Cod

A quiet destination that already feels like a retreat, Cape Cod plays host to Chatham Bars Inn . The historic property opened in 1914 as a semi-private hunting lodge and is now a renowned wellness escape in the northeast. While a stroll along the storied hotel's waterfront overlooking Aunt Lydia’s Cove is well worth your time, if you’re looking for an indulgent, relaxing New Year’s Eve, book one of their 12 adults-only spa suites. Each room is designed with oversized hydrotherapy tubs, saunas, steam showers, and a fireplace. That, plus room service, and what else could you ask for?

Thermal Baths in Manhattan

Based in New York City and steering clear of rowdy celebrations? Book a staycation at ModernHaus SoHo . The art-focused downtown property just launched a partnership with iconic AIRE Ancient Baths, which is conveniently located five-minutes walking from the hotel. The Ultimate Bath Experience includes access to the baths, a DIY Aloe Vera Body Scrub, as well as small-but-special extras like a cold pressed fresh fruit juice, sheet face mask, and wellness shot. Back at the hotel, relax in your guest room with bath products by Le Labo, Frette linen and Terry, and a Beautyrest Black Label mattresses.

Peaceful Snowshoeing in Vermont

For those on the east coast, a relaxing trip to snow-capped Vermont is a lovely way to ring in the new year. In Woodstock — once voted the prettiest small town in America — winter sports abound. If you’re not up for a day of skiing, head for the Woodstock Nordic center where you can go snowshoeing on 45 kilometers of groomed trails on Mt. Peg and Mt. Tom. Afterward, check in at The Woodstock Inn & Resort , a former Rockefeller estate featuring an award-winning spa (their seasonal Winter Rose treatment is truly a must).

FAQs about Iceland New Year’s tours

Is iceland good for a new year’s trip.

Yes, Iceland is a fantastic place to spend New Year’s! Icelanders take the celebrations seriously, so you’re bound to have a night to remember.

At this time of year, the country is still in its icy winter costume. Picture icicle-lined waterfalls and snow-capped mountains. And with the longer hours of darkness winter provides, you’ll be able to chase down the Northern Lights .

How does Iceland celebrate New Year’s?

Most Icelanders kick off the festivities at around 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. This is the more formal part of the evening, where people visit family and friends for dinner.

Afterwards, it’s traditional to go to a bonfire in the local neighborhood. Wander the streets of Reykjavík at this time of night and you’ll feel the magic starting to build.

Now it’s time for the party to properly start! You’ll see plenty of locals out and about in town, so why not join in? Sip on sparkling wine at your hotel as the big moment draws near.

At midnight, the fireworks begin. You’ll find it hard to miss the displays around Reykjavík. And with that, New Year’s Day arrives and the next year begins!

Read this blog to learn more about the New Year’s festivities in Iceland .

Where can you see fireworks in Iceland on New Year’s Eve?

In Reykjavík, Iceland’s capital, the main New Year’s firework show is in the old harbor area. People gather near the Harpa concert hall in the city center to watch the gigantic display.

Towns and villages across Iceland also have their own local firework shows. This means that wherever you are, you’ll get to experience the New Year’s magic!

What can you do in Iceland around New Year’s?

Apart from the celebrations, there’s plenty you can do in Iceland around New Year’s. Here’s just some of what you could get up to:

• See the Gullfoss waterfall and Strokkur geyser on a Golden Circle tour
• Relax in the warm, soothing waters of geothermal spas like the Blue Lagoon or Sky Lagoon
• Spot frosted waterfalls on Iceland’s south coast
• Marvel at glistening glaciers in Vatnajökull National Park
• Watch icebergs floating on Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon
• Roam the site of Iceland’s Viking-era parliament at Þingvellir

• Join a Northern Lights hunting excursion in the countryside

Want even more inspiration for your trip? Check out these Iceland winter must-sees and must-dos .

Can I see the Northern Lights in Iceland at New Year’s?

It’s possible to see the Northern Lights at any time during winter if the conditions are right, including New Year’s! If you go to a firework show on New Year’s Eve though, they might get in the way.

To see the Northern Lights, you need dark nights, clear skies, and high solar activity. December and January offer the most hours of darkness, so there’s plenty of time for them to appear.

If you’re lucky enough to get a cloudless night, you may well spot the Northern Lights on your New Year’s trip to Iceland. In fact, some of these packages even include a special excursion for hunting them in the countryside.

Determined to see this natural marvel? Take a look at these Northern Lights tours in Iceland.

What’s the winter weather like in Iceland?

There’s no denying that Iceland is cold in the wintertime, but it’s probably not as chilly as you think. In December and January, the average temperature in Reykjavík is around 1°C (33°F).

At this time of year, it can be snowy, especially outside of urban areas. There can also be frost on the ground. But not to worry, main paths and roads are regularly cleared and gritted.

The main thing to be aware of is the wind. This shouldn’t be a problem if you come prepared though. Keep reading for some handy tips on what to bring!

For more info on what to expect, see this guide to Iceland’s weather and climate .

How many days do you need for an Iceland New Year holiday?

A short break of 4–6 days around New Year’s would give you enough time to enjoy the celebrations and see some of Iceland’s nature. You’d be able to join a guided group tour or multi-day tour by bus to get out of town.

If you want to see more of Iceland, you could extend your trip. With Iceland Tours, you can add extra nights in Reykjavík to the start or end of your package when you book online.

You can fill these up with a range of day tours , so you can see even more on your trip.

Feel like you need more time to explore the land of Fire and Ice? Check out all of our winter trips to Iceland and find the one for you.

How do I book my Iceland New Year’s trip?

Start by checking out the New Year’s tours above. Because of the public holidays at this time of year, they have fixed departure dates to make sure you can get the most out of your trip.

Once you’ve found the one for you, go ahead and book via the tour package page. You’ll be able to customize your trip with extra days and activities if you like.

Pay a 5% deposit or the full amount up front, it’s up to you. Then you’ll get a confirmation and we’ll be in touch with your travel documents closer to your trip date.

When should I buy my flights to Iceland?

You can start browsing for flights online as soon as you know your travel dates. That said, it’s best to hold off booking until you’ve confirmed your trip arrangements with Iceland Tours.

So you can get the best price and most flexibility, we don’t include flights with our packages. It’s easy to find flights online though. Iceland is well connected with daily departures to hub airports in Europe and North America.

What should I pack for my Iceland New Year’s tour?

At New Year’s, you might be spending a little more time outdoors than you usually would in the middle of winter!

With that in mind, it’s a good idea to bring everything you’ll need to stay warm and comfy:

• Thick winter coat
• Waterproof outer layers
• Sweaters and fleeces
• Thermal socks and inner layers
• Wooly hat, scarf, and gloves
• Walking boots

A swimsuit is a must if you plan to go to the Blue Lagoon , Sky Lagoon , or local swimming pools . You might also want to bring a special outfit for the New Year’s festivities.

For the first time, we’re spotlighting new cruise ships on Travel + Leisure ’s It List, as these exceptional vessels become more and more like floating resorts — celebrity chefs, crystal chandeliers, and Rolex boutiques included.

Explora Journeys’ Explora I

Paul Brady/Travel + Leisure

It’s not every day a new cruise line arrives. The debut of the remarkable Explora I was a moment years in the making for Explora Journeys , the upstart luxury operator that aims to bring a European sensibility to the world of vacations at sea. So far, the project is a smashing success, thanks to the ship’s low-key vibe, standout food and beverage, and intriguing itineraries that visit in-demand ports in Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. My own August 2023 trip on Explora I , from Copenhagen to Hamburg, Germany, included fulfilling visits to places such as Oslo and the town of Stavanger, Norway, a gateway to adventurous hiking with a postcard-perfect Old Town. The ship itself was also a destination, with its abundance of outdoor space — including an alfresco fitness center — and pools at seemingly every turn. The 461 suites, all of them with balconies, are filled with luxurious touches such as Frette linens and robes, heated marble floors, and Dyson hair dryers. But Explora I truly shines when it comes to food: During the week I was aboard, it was impossible to find a bad meal — and I was often astonished at the quality of, in particular, the pasta served in the Emporium Marketplace and the sushi on offer at Sakura, two of the nine restaurants aboard. The most ambitious of them all is Anthology, a rotating-chef concept that has seen a residency from seafood whiz Mario Ulaissi, known for his Michelin three-starred restaurant on Italy's Adriatic coast, and that recently welcomed Emma Bengtsson, from Aquavit , in New York City. Much has been made of Explora I ’s Rolex boutique — the first on any cruise ship — but for my money, the other shops on board were more interesting: The company has tapped family-owned businesses around the world to create capsule collections of resort wear, handbags, fragrances, sunglasses, and beautiful gifts that can’t be found elsewhere. From $2,050 per person for a six-day sailing. Accessible ship. — Paul Brady

Oceania Cruises’ Vista

The new Oceania Vista is in a class of its own; no really, it’s the first in Oceania Cruises ’ new Allura class. Of its 11 bars and restaurants, three are entirely new to the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings–owned brand — including a high-end cocktail spot called Founders’ Bar, serving 26 intricate drinks that use house-made syrups and top-shelf booze like Whistle Pig and parsley-infused Grey Goose. As Oceania levels up, the cruise line has produced a ship that feels more like a floating resort than the vessels that came before. There’s pickleball; a health-conscious restaurant, Aquamar, serving made-to-order salads and pressed juices; and a coffee shop that looks like one in walking distance of my home in L.A. (marble counters, gold accents, leather bar stools) and pulls an espresso shot of similar quality. Vista has more suites than others in the Oceania fleet, too: There are 14 Oceania Suites (up to 1,200 square feet); eight Vista Suites (up to 1,850 square feet); and three Owner’s Suites with Ralph Lauren Home decor and two massive terraces (2,400 square feet). But the most hotel-like touch? A celebrity chef–driven restaurant, Toscana, where Giada De Laurentiis — the ship’s godmother — supplied two recipes for the menu. As someone who watched a lot of Everyday Italian in the early aughts, I was particularly excited to try her signature, Capri-inspired lemon spaghetti, and lemon-cream sauce with grilled shrimp and capers didn’t disappoint. From $2,499 per person for a seven-night sailing. Accessible ship. — Maya Kachroo-Levine

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Seven Seas Grandeur

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ sixth ship, the Seven Seas Grandeur , sailed its inaugural season in December, joining sibling ships Seven Seas Explorer and Seven Seas Splendor as the newest member of the luxury fleet. The cruise line is a favorite among T+L readers for its gorgeous ships and all-inclusive pricing that covers unlimited shore excursions, dining at specialty restaurants, and even round-trip airfare. Grandeur lives up to its name thanks to stunning, art-filled spaces designed by cruise ship interior experts Studio Dado: signature restaurant Compass Rose is enchanting with interiors inspired by a fairy-tale forest; the Observation Lounge sparkles with an undulating chandelier and swanky bar; and the $11,000-per-night Regent Suite has a private en suite spa and custom Treesse mini pool. As I boarded Grandeur for the ship’s inaugural sailing, I was mesmerized by the grand staircase and glittering chandelier. And with a maximum capacity of 744 guests, I found it easy to take time to myself in the myriad of quiet spots tucked throughout the ship, whether in the Serene Spa and Wellness area, in the Library, or on the Sports Deck overlooking the ocean. Seven restaurants include specialty steakhouse Prime 7, pan-Asian restaurant Pacific Rim, and breakfast and lunch buffet La Veranda, which refines the cruise buffet experience with daily specials like paella and sushi. Several bars and lounges, a pool and hot tubs, a casino, Broadway-style productions, and cooking classes at the Culinary Arts Kitchen make the ship a destination in itself, though guests will want to take advantage of those included excursions on Caribbean, Central American, North American, and European itineraries, ranging from seven to 16 nights, during the ship’s 2024 season. From $4,669 per person for a seven-night sailing. Accessible ship. — Elizabeth Rhodes

Silversea’s Silver Nova

Courtesy of Silversea Cruises

Carrying 728 passengers, Silver Nova is big for the luxury sector, but boasts a hugely important metric: a capacious passenger space ratio — that is, the number of guests relative to the size of the ship. Simply put, this ship offers more elbow room per passenger than almost any other cruise vessel. Silver Nova is wrapped in glass, with an asymmetrical layout; the funnel is positioned off-center, so is the pool, offering an expansive, uncluttered pool deck. Many features of the brand-new ship recall previous Silversea successes, my favorite of which is the S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste) program, expanded for Silver Nova . S.A.L.T. perks include a gorgeous, sea-facing lab for hands-on culinary lessons (at no additional cost), plus a new concept, the Chef’s Table, where an 11-course menu is prepared for just 24 diners. All facets of the S.A.L.T. ecosystem, including ingredients, a bar, lectures, and shore excursions, are keyed to the region Nova is sailing. While food is a drawing card for Silver Nova , accommodations also received a revamp. Tied to the theme of bringing the outside in, there are brilliant new suites found in the aft starboard corner of the ship, with wraparound balconies revealing a 270-degree view.  This is where you can tuck me in when I win the lottery and head off on a world cruise. But until then, Silver Nova will summer in Alaska and spend northern hemisphere winters in Australia and New Zealand, places where top-deck views should prove ceaselessly rewarding. From $3,250 per person for a seven-night sailing. Accessible ship. — David Swanson
