If ever there was a New Year to celebrate, this is the one. Reunite with family. Celebrate with friends. And do it all in one of our sparkling destinations. Here are five of our favourite places to ring in 2023 in style.

Koh Samui – Thailand

Chaweng Beach is both party central and the centre of the party on Koh Samui. Drop your bags off at Avani Chaweng Samui Hotel & Beach Club and kick off your night (or day) in the heart of the action at SEEN Samui Beach Club. Come early for the afternoon NYE pool party, complete with cool views and killer tunes. Or drop in later for the enchanted forest-themed countdown party with free-flow drinks, cooking stations and vibing mixes by the best DJs.

Victoria Falls – Zambia

If you’re looking for true bucket list moments this New Year’s then Victoria Falls is to place to be. Avani Victoria Falls Resort is going big on adventure for the holiday season. Tick those bucket list boxes with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi, indulge in delicious festive dining and you can enjoy access to the thundering Victoria Falls whenever you want. There are also daily treats for younger guests. So if adventure and fun-filled family times are your thing, this is a fabulous place to end your year. 

Melbourne – Australia

If you’re ready to stay up past your bedtime, Melbourne is your ideal destination for New Year’s. There’s just no chance you can fit in all the fun before midnight. Plus, you get bragging rights as one of the first people in the world to ring in 2023. With live music everywhere, buzzing bars and the brilliant fireworks display at Yarra Park to check out, you’ll barely have time to indulge in the two-day street food feast. And with Avani Melbourne Central Residences located just minutes away from the Queen Victoria Markets, you’ll be based at the heart of the action.

Busan – Korea

Vibrant energy comes as standard in buzzing Busan, and it only gets better on New Year’s Eve. Build up to the countdown with a local feast. Check out the fireworks from a rooftop bar or join a traditional bell-tolling ceremony at midnight. Then tough it out and welcome the sunrise on Haeundae Beach. Make your New Year’s as action-packed or as chilled as you please at Avani Central Busan Hotel. 

Sepang – Malaysia

Find the balance between the old year and the new, between fun and relaxation at Avani Sepang Goldcoast Resort. Kick back on the beach with a cocktail by day and dress to impress by night. Join in the fun with a sparkling countdown party and a delightful array of dining delicacies. Then flop into 2023 in the cosy comforts of your overwater villa.
