Celebrating the New Year on the shores of a warm sea is a dream for many. For those who want to escape from the winter cold and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of beaches and exoticism, 2025 could be the perfect opportunity to make their dream come true. We have prepared a selection of five of the most interesting and unusual countries where you can celebrate the New Year by the sea, enjoying the warmth and unique culture.
Thailand - Phuket and Samui Islands
Thailand has long been a popular destination for winter holidays thanks to a combination of beautiful beaches, affordable prices and a pleasant climate. The islands of Phuket and Samui are ideal for celebrating the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, there are large-scale open-air parties with fireworks, dancing and local dishes. The local culture is happy to introduce tourists to the traditions.
Tip: don't forget to book a hotel or bungalow in advance, as demand increases significantly during the holidays.
Maldives
This is one of the best places for those who are looking for solitude and want to celebrate the New Year under the whisper of the waves. This archipelago of more than a thousand coral islands offers secluded beaches, clear lagoons and a unique underwater world.
On New Year's Eve, many hotels host gala dinners and parties, but for the most part, the atmosphere remains calm and romantic. This is an ideal place for those who prefer to celebrate in peace and quiet.
We recommend choosing all-inclusive hotels to fully immerse yourself in your holiday and not worry about the little things.

Mexico - a holiday on the beaches of the Riviera Maya
The Riviera Maya on the Caribbean coast is not only beautiful beaches, but also a rich culture. Celebrating the New Year in Mexico means enjoying local cuisine, music, and energetic parties.
The beaches of Cancun and Playa del Carmen are at your service for the celebration, with numerous clubs and restaurants organising parties. The next day, you can go exploring ancient Mayan ruins or relax in one of the many natural parks.
Here, we recommend trying the traditional dish ‘posole’, which is prepared especially for the holiday, and making a wish to the sound of chimes, as the locals do.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is famous for its beaches combined with unique culture and traditions. Celebrating the New Year in Sri Lanka, you can plunge into a relaxing atmosphere among palm trees and ocean waves.
Here you can choose a relaxing holiday or active sports such as surfing. Some hotels organise theme parties, but in general, holidays here are in harmony with nature.
Be sure to go on an excursion to the tea plantations or to the Yala National Park to see elephants in the wild.
Bali, Indonesia
Bali offers a unique combination of beach holidays and a rich cultural programme. You can celebrate New Year's Eve on the beaches of Kutph or Seminyak, where lively parties and fireworks take place, or choose a secluded spot in Ubud to celebrate amongst the jungle and rice terraces.
Bali is also known for its spiritual heritage, and many tourists prefer to start the new year with meditation or a visit to temples.
Do not miss the New Year's rituals organised by the locals. It can be a great start to the new year.
By the way, before travelling abroad, especially on the eve of the holidays, we recommend that you take out insurance that will allow you to relax with full confidence in your safety.
We remind you! Earlier, we told you which holiday destinations by the sea are most often chosen by tourists in 2024.
