Where do you want to spend New Year?

It’s not too late to book a getaway if you want to see in the New Year in style, or simply escape the January blues that can bite you hard after your Christmas break.

Where should you choose? Here are some of our suggestions.

For parties, head to Espanola Way in Miami, where few tourists tread but where locals head for a night to remember. Or head to Prague for a cut-price deal on accommodation and entertainment and enjoy the fireworks at midnight before going on to hit the local club scene. Rio is the place to be if you want a beach party to remember, or to share the party with two million party-goers in Copacabana.

Closer to home, head to Scotland for Hogmanay! Nowhere takes New Year celebrations so seriously; watch the fireworks whilst enjoying a dram of whiskey on the banks of Loch Lomand.

If you want to retreat from all the gaiety and stress of Christmas and just want to get away from it all, head to the Isle of Mull. Rent a cottage with close friends and enjoy a quiet break away from the fast pace of civilisation.

Or take a relaxing cruise around the islands in Vietnam; have dinner on deck with a barbecue and cocktails and raise a glass to the New Year.

Closer to home, head to the Peak District for a quiet getaway in a private cottage with your closest friends or just your other half. Enjoy a bracing walk in the hills and good pub grub in the evening before cuddling up in front of the fire together.

If you want to try something a bit different than quaffing large amounts of booze and kissing strangers on the stroke of midnight, head off to Allendale to experience their Pagan traditions, or to Wales to watch the locals carry a Mari (horse skull) on a long pole from house to house, ending in the town square at midnight.

Whatever you decide to do in your New Year, make sure it’s somewhere that you’ll remember for the rest of the year. Make it different and make it representative of what you want to be doing for the rest of the year!
