Much like any travel experience, we think New Year’s Eve is what you make of it. Sure, you could cozy up at home with a bottle of wine – or, you could reclaim the holiday with a truly memorable night on the town!
\n\n\n\nNeed some inspiration? We rounded up some of our favorite NYE happenings to get you started, like fabulous beachside soirées, mouthwatering feasts, and family-friendly festivals across the U.S.
\n\n\n\nAmidst your party planning for December 31, perhaps a more important consideration is, where do you want to wake up on January 1? What are you looking forward to in this New Year? More time with family? Holistic health? Getting lost in nature? Adventurous travels to unknown places? Whatever you dare to dream in 2022, Independent Collection Hotels & Resorts can help bring those ambitions to life.
\n\n\n\nSend off 2021 in spectacular style and welcome the New Year with open arms at these exciting destinations.
\n\n\n\nOn the West Coast, slow down in a different setting at Monterey, California. Flanked by deep blue water and dense, green forests, Monterey has enchanted travelers with its rugged coastal beauty for centuries. Yet contrary to its grandeur, the city of Monterey is actually quite small. And during the wintertime, when swarms of summer travelers have subsided, Monterey’s small-town charm is yours to explore.
\n\n\n\nIf locally-grown wines, beachside bonfires, and oceanfront hikes sound like your ideal getaway, plan a stay at The Sanctuary Beach Resort. A rare Monterey Bay hotel located on the beach, the Sanctuary truly lives up to its namesake with cozy oceanfront cottages, a holistic spa, and quiet seclusion. Best of all, the resort is within reach of Monterey’s famous wineries, charming neighborhoods, and nature hikes.

Elevate your New Year’s escape with a prix fixe feast at Salt Wood Kitchen and Oysterette, the Sanctuary’s on-site restaurant. Here, locally sourced ingredients are masterfully prepared by local chefs in a live-fire kitchen. On New Year’s Eve, settle in for a six-course culinary adventure of jumbo scallops with shaved truffle and foraged mushrooms, “surf and turf” with roasted vegetables, and much more. Add some live music and celebratory bubbly, and you have a fabulous start to 2022.
\n\n\n\nFind out more about The Sanctuary Beach Resort, and explore Salt Wood’s holiday dining here.
\n\n\n\nPerhaps your New Year’s resolution is to live life to its fullest. Saying yes to opportunities that come your way and making the most of 2022. What better place to do just that than America’s most dynamic metropolises?

One of America’s oldest cities, Boston is rich with history, cultural happenings, iconic local restaurants, public gardens, and tons of outdoor activities – the perfect destination to kick off your “yes”-filled year.
\n\n\n\nBut first, a celebration is in order. Where will you be when the clock strikes 12? If champagne toasts and opulent crowds pique your interest, head to one of Boston’s famous nightclubs for a late-night-turned-early-morning bash. Find a spot along the Boston Harbor for an incredible fireworks show (check out the North End, Downtown Waterfront, and Castle Island areas for the best views), or round up the family for First Night Boston, an alcohol-free, kid-friendly celebration with ice sculptures, live music, arts and crafts, and a festive parade.
