Plans to Celebrate New Year’s Eve at Princess Canarias
If you’re thinking about ending the year in a special way, celebrating New Year’s Eve in the Canary Islands is a plan that ticks every box: pleasant weather, beaches inviting you to relax even in December, and a festive atmosphere you’ll only find on the islands. At Princess Canarias in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Palma and Fuerteventura, we prepare a magical New Year’s Eve every season so you can enjoy it without rush, without cold and without complications.
Whether you’re travelling with children or prefer an adults-only escape, our hotels offer activities, ambience and services designed to make your New Year’s Eve truly unforgettable.
New Year’s Eve Dinners: Tradition, Festive Atmosphere and Themed Decoration
We’re preparing an extra-special New Year’s Eve menu, and we’ll be able to share all the details very soon. These evenings are organised with great care: themed decoration, an elegant atmosphere, festive touches and everything needed to make the night of the 31st feel as magical as it should.
It’s the perfect moment to enjoy a special dinner, toast to new intentions and savour the final minutes of the year. And of course, the traditional 12 grapes of luck will be there, a classic that brings all our guests together in the same wish: to start the year on the right foot.
Live Music, Shows and Unforgettable Nights
One of the things our guests enjoy most is the festive atmosphere that fills the night of the 31st. After dinner, the celebration continues with a selection of evening activities that usually include:
- Live music with local bands or special performances
- Shows and entertainment created for the occasion
- DJ sets and themed parties for those who want to dance into the early hours
- Decorated spaces with an elegant, festive feel for photos and memories
Each hotel has its own style, but all of them share that joyful spirit that makes New Year’s Eve such a unique moment.
Fun for the Little Ones and Activities for the Whole Family
Families celebrating New Year’s Eve at our hotels often look for plans where both children and adults can enjoy themselves, and at Princess Canarias, we keep this very much in mind. That’s why, during the afternoon of the 31st (and throughout the festive season), our entertainment teams prepare activities tailored to each age group.
These activities usually include:
- Festive mini-discos where children can dance, sing and let loose
- Creative workshops to make New Year’s Eve accessories, masks or decorations
- Themed games that spark excitement and imagination
While they enjoy themselves, adults can relax, get ready for the evening or simply take a quiet moment before the celebration begins.
A 31 December Full of Options: Relaxation, Sport and Great Weather
One of the great advantages of celebrating New Year’s Eve in the Canary Islands is the weather. Unlike much of Europe, here the 31st of December can be spent outdoors, enjoying the sun or strolling along the beach before getting ready for the evening.
In our hotels, you’ll find daytime activities such as:
- Fitness classes, yoga or aquagym (depending on the hotel)
- Sports activities such as volleyball, tennis, archery or guided walks (depending on the hotel)
- Outdoor pools, gardens and chill-out areas to unwind and recharge
- Wellness areas in most hotels, with treatments or relaxing circuits to end the year in full zen mode
It’s the perfect balance: activity when you want it, rest when you need it.
End the Year with Energy: Run the San Silvestre
For sport lovers, the south of Tenerife also offers something special at this time of year. Just a few minutes from Adeje, the San Silvestre Golden Mile Playa de Las Américas takes place annually, a popular race held in the neighbouring municipality of Arona. The best part? Tourists can also register, and every edition brings together participants from around the world who want to end the year full of energy. It’s the perfect option if you want something different before New Year’s Eve dinner or if you’d like to experience the sporty, festive atmosphere of the area. More info and registration here.
And if that sporting spirit accompanies you during your stay in Gran Canaria, you’ll find another unmissable event: San Silvestre Las Palmas 2025, one of the island’s most popular and lively races. It runs through some of the city’s most iconic areas and gathers thousands of local and visiting runners who want to end the year in the most fun and active way. More info and registration here.
1 January: The Perfect Start to the New Year
The first day of the year feels particularly special in the Canary Islands. After an emotional night, you can begin January with a swim in the sea—a tradition many guests enjoy thanks to the islands’ mild climate. If you prefer something calmer, a relaxing morning by the hotel pool, soaking up the sun and letting the new year begin gently, is always a perfect choice.
For those who want to stay active, starting the year with a walk along nearby trails, exploring the coastline or heading to a viewpoint is a wonderful way to recharge and begin January full of energy. Whatever your style, 1 January in the Canary Islands has a charm you won’t find anywhere else.
