Bring in the New Year at Ponta dos Ganchos, Brazil
We maybe only in September, but there are people who take their New Year celebrations seriously and for those early bookers, what could be more enticing than a private peninsula surrounded by a fisherman village on Brazil’s Emerald coast– to ring in the new year. Ponta dos Ganchos is the country’s most exclusive beach resort and a haven for beach lovers who appreciate laid-back elegance, romance and seclusion. Brazil is known for its New Year’s Eve festivities, both loud and intimate – and for those looking for a more intimate setting, the Ponta Dos Ganchos exclusive resort will be offering a special celebration including a delectable dinner with Möet & Chandon champagne, a fabulous 12 minute firework display to ring in the new year and a fabulous party with live music all night long. To celebrate in true Brazilian fashion, guests will wear all white on New Year’s Eve and each bungalow at Ponta dos Ganchos will receive a handmade miniature wooden fishing boat to offer to Yemanja, the Goddess of the Sea, at midnight. Each little boat will be set adrift into the sea, along with flowers, a candle and a wish. Guests can then return to the party and enjoy live music and tropical cocktails on the sand until dawn.
