Most clubs announce New Year’s Eve in November and December. We add each party here as it is confirmed.
VIP tables
How VIP tables work on New Year’s Eve
A table comes with a minimum spend, credited against bottles and service. A deposit secures it.
New Year’s Eve sells out first, so book early and confirm the minimum spend, the arrival time and the number of guests in writing.

Stay
Make a week of it
A villa for the countdown
Host your own dinner, then head out at midnight. Golden Mile villas put you minutes from the Old Town and Puerto Banús.
A day at sea
Winter days are often bright and calm. Yachts depart from Puerto Banús; ask us about dates over the holidays.
Tradition
How Spain sees in the new year
At midnight, Spain eats twelve grapes, one on each chime of the clock, for twelve lucky months. The cotillón follows: hats, horns and streamers, then the party.
Dinner starts late and the clubs fill after the grapes. Plan on a long night.
