KOALA’s resort-style rentals give you the space, comfort, and calm you need, whether you’re chasing sunshine, snow, or a city that stays up long past midnight.

Below are some of the top NYE destinations — each paired with KOALA resorts that offer unbeatable price, location, and real amenities during peak season.

Warm-Weather Destinations

If your perfect NYE includes warm nights, ocean breezes, and fireworks reflected on the water, a beach destination is hard to beat. KOALA’s warm-weather suites typically come with multi-bedroom layouts and full kitchens — ideal for hosting a low-key NYE dinner before heading out for fireworks.

Featured KOALA Resort: 

• Cabo San Lucas — Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach
  Set on a private coastal bluff, this is Cabo at its most festive: live music, beachfront celebrations, and picture-perfect weather for a breezy January reset. Families and groups love the spacious villas, while couples get that resort-luxury feel without the resort-style pricing spike. 
• Puerto Rico — Margaritaville Vacation Club by Wyndham / Club Wyndham Rio Mar
  An easy, no-passport option for warm-weather travel, Rio Mar has pools, palm-lined grounds, and direct beach access. Spacious suites make it practical for groups or families, and the location puts you close to plenty of low-key ways to spend New Year’s week.

Mountain Towns for a Cozy NYE

Some travelers swap beaches for snowflakes — and New Year’s Eve in a mountain town carries its own kind of magic. Think crisp air, sparkling village lights, and cozy interiors you’ll actually want to spend the night in. KOALA’s mountain stays often include fireplaces, generous living rooms, and kitchens built for a warm, no-rush NYE dinner.

Featured KOALA Resorts:

• Vail, Colorado — Marriott’s StreamSide Birch at Vail
  A favorite for ski lovers. You’re close to the slopes and the town’s lively NYE celebrations — but your villa gives you the quiet, fireside retreat you’ll want after midnight.
  
• Park City — Club Wyndham Park City
  Steps from the lifts and Main Street festivities, this is ideal for anyone who wants easy access to fireworks, après-ski, and the energy of a true winter town.

Big-City Countdowns

For the traveler who wants a “go big or go home” New Year’s, major cities deliver every time — fireworks, concerts, nightlife, and that electric, once-a-year atmosphere. KOALA’s city properties give you something hotels rarely can during NYE week: space. Real space. Meaning you can enjoy Times Square or the Strip, then come back to a quiet suite that actually feels like a retreat.

Featured KOALA Resorts:

• New York City — Hilton Grand Vacations at West 57th Street
  Celebrate near Times Square while still enjoying a calm, elegant suite just far enough from the chaos. It’s a rare combination during NYE week.
• Las Vegas — The Boulevard a Hilton Grand Vacations Club
  The Boulevard stands out in the Hilton Grand Vacations portfolio, offering a spot that’s near the Strip when you want action—and quiet when you don’t.

Family-Friendly NYE (Including Disney!)

Traveling with kids on New Year’s Eve calls for comfort, flexibility, and space — three things KOALA does exceptionally well. Multi-bedroom villas, full kitchens, and resort amenities make it easy to keep routines intact while still enjoying all the holiday excitement.

And if the plan is Walt Disney World — one of the most magical (and busiest) places to ring in the new year — staying just outside the parks is a game-changer.

Featured KOALA Resort: 

• Orlando — Sheraton Vistana Resort
  Minutes from Disney, stacked with pools and family activities, and built for families who want fireworks by day and a cozy villa by night. It’s one of KOALA’s most popular NYE home bases.

Plan Your New Year’s Eve Travel

Whether you’re dreaming of fireworks, sunshine, snowy rooftops, or a quiet reset, KOALA stays give you the comfort and breathing room that make holiday travel smoother — and often more affordable than traditional hotels during peak season.
