As 2024 is about to end and we are all pepped up to bring in 2025, it’s time to decide how are you going to spend the first minutes of 2025 with and how! In Mauritius, New Year’s Eve is often celebrated with family and friends. Traditionally, families love to set off the long red firecrackers and fireworks. It was initially based on the belief that it chases away evil spirits to start the new year off right.
Want to go out but still can’t decide where to end 2024? We’ve listed some ideas for you!
- Book a party at a resort – All the resorts host a new year gala dinner with fireworks. You can book the event with a cover charge and enjoy food, drinks and dancing till early morning of 1st Jan. Lux Resort usually has a good event, you can book it here, New Year 2025 with Lux Resort.
Four Seasons Mauritius also has some great events planned for Christmas and New Years celebration.
- Campfire at the beach – All public beaches are open so if you have a group of friends or you want to celebrate new year with family, you can just pack your beach gear and camp at the beach. Grand Baie is one of the most popular beaches for night life so it would be beaming with locals and tourists and some really amazing fireworks. Tamarin Bay or La Preneuse beach in the west of Mauritius are also very nice, opposite Marguery Villas
- Catamaran boat ride – Most of the catamaran operators organise catamaran rides on New Year’s Eve, its a lovely experience because the boats are lit, you are in the middle of the ocean and it’s usually peaceful and quiet with good music in the background. Charges would be around 4-5k per person and it usually includes dinner.
We will be updating this section when we have more events information, if you would like us to mention an event that you are hosting, please drop in comments and we would mention on our website.
