Posted on January 7, 2023July 24, 2023 by Lucky n Love

Well, it’s over. We rang in the new year, and I hope it was one to remember. There are plenty of great places to celebrate New Year’s Eve, but if you’re looking for a place with an edge that will just leave you breathless then look no further than some of my favorite places! If you’re looking for inspiration for next year, read on for my list of the best places to celebrate New Year’s. If you decide to host a New Year’s party in any of these locations, you may need to order champagne and other alcoholic drinks, prepare good food and and even set up a cigar bar for your guests.

Celebrate the New Year in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Vienna.

The German word for New Year’s in Austria is Silvester. The bell at St. Stephen’s Cathedral rings in the New Year. As the sound from the bell’s chimes fades away, fireworks across the city light up the night sky. Make sure to have some marzipan pigs to swap for good luck.

Barcelona, Spain. Known as Nochevieja, it is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated celebrations in Barcelona. At exactly midnight, 12 bells ring, and traditionally 12 grapes are eaten to ring in the New Year and bring you good luck.

At the top of my list is London. Join the world-famous London New Year’s Eve fireworks near the London Eye, or head to one of London’s restaurants, bars, or theaters to celebrate. Take a cruise along the Thames, and dance the night away with a view. Book in advance to attend one of the many parties.

From the moment you step off the plane in Antigua and see its beaches, you’ll know why this is one of the world’s most beautiful romantic destinations. The capital city of this Caribbean island nation has a tropical feel with its many oceanside hotels and resorts, colonial-era buildings, and colorful streets.

If you’ve got a hankerin’ for some tropical bliss, get ready to travel to one of the most beautiful destinations in the world — Antigua, and Barbuda. This island nation is famous for its white-sand beaches, idyllic lagoons, and palm-fringed bays. But the real charm of this Caribbean island lies in its warm people. The capital city, St. John’s, is a small town by global standards, but it’s home to a vibrant cultural scene with numerous historic destinations and activities to suit every couple. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed, plan a visit to Antigua.

Where to Stay in Antigua

Antigua is an old-world charm with a contemporary edge. The pace of life is relaxed, with a laid-back island culture that blends traditional ways with the modern. There’s a reason Antigua was once called the “party island.” The island is packed with charming resorts offering a tropical oasis right on the edge of the Caribbean sea. If you’re looking for a cozy getaway with a difference, consider Hammock Cove or Cocobay Resort.

Hammock Cove has 42 villas, and some that include private plunge pools. Set on the island’s quiet north shore, this all-inclusive adults-only resort has a spa, Michelin-level dining, food and drink service on the beach, and wine and cooking classes.

Cocobay is an upscale all-inclusive resort with a collection of pastel hillside cottages, with paths leading down to the white-sand beaches. Private meals and torchlit beach dinners are on the menu, and the resort offers a “floating pool” experience where meals are served on a floating table in your private pool. That’s a one-of-a-kind vacation experience!

Best Food in Antigua

The best food in Antigua comes from the island’s wide variety of locales — from the home of the country’s national dish, the Indian Stews, to beachfront grills. For meat lovers, you can’t miss the biltong, a type of thinly sliced meat that is similar to jerky. For dessert, try the Belgian waffles and ice cream at Fred’s.

The beaches of Antigua are some of the most beautiful in the Caribbean. The best place to start your tour of the island is by visiting the idyllic Caribbean beachfront of West End. Once there, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. You’ll have the perfect weather, a backdrop of palm trees, and a clear horizon to enjoy the perfect beachside atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a romantic getaway that will leave you feeling refreshed, and renewed, explore Antigua. For more romantic resort recommendations, and to start planning your getaway to Antigua, reach out to me.
