Goa attracts large numbers of visitors from around the world for a new years eve celebration in the sunshine, and the warm climate here means the bulk of the celebrations are centred around the resort's beaches, with beach bonfires, parties and fireworks featuring heavily.
There are also many top resorts in Goa, and most of these will be hosting their own new year parties, with gala dinners, live entertainment, champagne and cocktails all on offer.
Traffic tends to be an issue on new years eve, with the small local raods struggling to cope with the influx of tourists, so it is sound advice to pick a place for your celebrations and stick to it rather than try and move around between parties.
As with everything this year, please do double check with venues and organisers before making any travel plans in case of any last minute changes/cancellations.
Anjuna Beach is probably the single most popular area on new years eve, with parties in the bars and restaurants located along the beach.
Another party area, the Baga Beach new year celebrations are characterised by dance parties and karaoke at the many beach shacks and bars lining the beach.
There are also several very good restaurants located here too, offfering the option of a dinner by candlelight before you continue your party along the beach.
A lot more chilled out than Anjuna or Baga, Ashvew attracts a crowd looking for a quieter, more sedate new years eve party. Here you can walk along the beach without worrying about your ears being constantly assailed by loud music.
A very popular spot here is the Marbela Beach Resort, with private beach villas and huts offering a great spot to se in the new year in peace and tranquility right on the ocean shore.

Normally, the main hotels of Goa hold new years eve parties, as they look to compete with the beach shacks, bars and restaurants to get the most visitors in for their new year parties. Among the top events to look out for for possible NYE 2024 events are:
The LaLiT Golf & Spa Resort Goa
The Grand Hyatt Goa, Bambolim
Z-Rooftop Lounge Bar & Grill, Vasco Da Gama
The Park Hyatt Goa Resort & Spa, Arrosim Beach
All of these places will tend to book up well in advance, so be sure to book to make sure of your place.
You can search, check availability and book these, and all of the top Goa NYE hotels here.
For your new year dining options, most visitors will be catered for by their hotel, but if you're travelling independently or just prefer to make your own plans there are more than enough choices to satsify most palates.
Highly recommended are Cafe de Port, Pickled Mango, Chef Soumyen's Kitchen and Joecons BEach Shack. Check out all the Goan dining options here.
There are typically live webcams to be found where there are popular beach resorts, but we haven't to date been able to locate any for Goa. We will of course keep checking.
