Where to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Phuket?

Insider's Response

Celebrating New Year’s Eve in Phuket is a special pleasure. Just imagine these contrasts: Christmas trees in +30°C weather, New Year’s fireworks over the warm sea, and “Merry Christmas” greetings against a backdrop of palm trees. In fact, there are so many options for celebrating New Year in Phuket that it’s easy to feel spoiled for choice!

First, decide how you want to welcome the most important night of the year. New Year’s events can be divided into several formats:

Dinners and gala evenings at hotels. A great option for those who want to celebrate New Year in a cozy atmosphere with delicious food and spectacular festive fireworks. These events are perfect for families, couples, and fans of classic celebrations. For example, gala dinners will be held at SAii Laguna Phuket, Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, and Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort.

Parties and club / beach celebrations. If you’re looking for energy, dancing, and music, choose nightclubs and beach clubs. This format is ideal for groups of friends or solo travelers who want a loud and fun New Year’s celebration. The most vibrant parties will take place at YONA Beach Club, Café del Mar Phuket, and Illuzion.

● Chill beach format. Sometimes you want a celebration without pomp or hustle — just to relax, listen to music and the sea, and enjoy the sunset or sunrise. These laid-back New Year’s events will be held at Tann Beach Club and Catch Beach Club.

A full list of New Year’s events is available in the New Year section on our website.

An important note: Phuket is very popular during the holidays, so the earlier you decide on your New Year’s celebration format, the more options you’ll have to choose from.
