Only a few days remain until the new year. Now is the perfect time to start thinking about how to celebrate New Year's Eve 2024. Will it be a grand celebration at a big party with lots of friends? Far away or perhaps closer to home? If you aren’t in the mood for compromises and prefer celebrating in mild temperatures rather than in the freezing cold, spending New Year's Eve on the Turkish Riviera is worth considering. There are plenty of reasons to do so! And the stunning Bayou Villas Lara, located on the grounds of the Barut Collection Resort in Antalya, offer the perfect place to stay.

Almost at home

One of the biggest advantages: it's only a few hours away by plane, making it ideal for a quick getaway. If you don’t want to stay home but still wish to celebrate with friends abroad, Bayou Villas Lara are a great option. These villas offer up to four bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, ensuring a vacation with plenty of privacy. With living spaces of up to 579 square meters, there’s also more than enough room for celebrating together.

A cozy lounge area completes the villas. Starting with the two-bedroom category, there’s even an additional entertainment area, which includes amenities like a billiard table. That means there’s plenty of space to say goodbye to the old year in a relaxed setting. And unlike staying in a hotel, a villa allows you to celebrate undisturbed, enjoy board games, do lead pouring, or keep up other family traditions.

Start the countdown

Just sitting around the table waiting for midnight to finally arrive? That nightmare scenario doesn’t apply when it comes to the Bayou Villas Lara. In addition to an entertainment zone, the larger villas even feature their own private spa with a sauna and steam bath. If you’d like, you can book a wellness treatment right in your villa or visit the spa at the nearby Lara Barut Collection. And heading there on January 1st might not be such a bad idea after all...

If you’re looking to check off a few last-minute resolutions from the old year, head to the villa’s private gym or the fitness area at the Barut Collection. It’s also a great way to start working on new year’s resolutions right away. You'll find several golf courses nearby, offering a relaxing way to count down to the festivities. While the temperatures around Antalya at this time of year may not be summery, celebrating New Year’s Eve in mild weather is definitely possible. Sunny skies and temperatures reaching up to 68°F (20°C) provide a pleasant alternative to gray drizzle.
