I was beyond impressed with their NYE extravaganza. Glass of champagne upon entry. Coat Check. Plenty of delicious food, which never ran out. 3 levels of music, dance floors and bars. No lines for drinks. All top-shelf alcohol. Photo Station with fun props! Gorgeous deck with view of fireworks. Gourmet donuts. NYE hats, necklaces, etc provided. Beats any other NYE event I've been too! I'd definitely recommend this for years to come.

Enjoyed Vavi's NYE party at the Catamaran, great place to have the party. Paid the extra $30 for the VIP ticket which gave you an hour and a half on triple decker boat ride around the bay. They had the same hors d'oeuvres and drinks on the boat that they had in the resort. The description of the VIP tickets did say there was to be casino style games on board which was why I purchased it, thought it would be fun. There was no games whatsoever. :( There were multiple rooms with DJ's playing dance music, would have liked to see more variety of music, or a live band would have been nice. The bar included two beers, Cores light and Saint Archer blonde, along with wine, champagne, and your typical well alcohols. There were plenty of places to get drinks and food, plenty of places to hang out indoor and outdoor, and a photo booth. All in all, it was fun, but unless you like to dance for 5 hours there wasn't much else to do besides hang out, which we did.

Great party with many dig rooms to choose from with all kids of styles of music! I absolutely recommend it BUT!!! Take your own pics because they're nowhere to be found! There were many photo booths but no way to obtain the photographs That's the only reason why I didn't give them a 5. Free drinks all night tho

Once again, another great year and my previous review says it all. This really is the best way to spend NYE in SD and I will stress that forking over a few extra bucks for the VIP boat ride is absolutely worth it. This year it was foggy on the bay and very pleasant to hang on the top deck as the music played below. Nice work, VAVI. You've knocked it out the park once again and sent us into 2014 in style. See you next year!

Whoa, whoa, WHOA! VAVI nailed this one! Some friends and I grabbed some tickets in advance for the "VIP package" and really didn't know what to expect. From the moment we approached the front of the Catamaran the organization was excellent and execution was flawless! The staff was directing guests to the appropriate lines, issuing wrist bands (VIP and GA), checking coats and snapping pictures upon arrival. Once we made it through the front door we were handed a Miller Lite and directed to the left. We walked down a long hallway and onto the back lawn which was a "staging" area for the boat ride which was scheduled to depart about a half hour later. There was a bar and servers with excess amounts of food. Literally every time I turned around a potsticker was offered to me... I have a hard time saying no to potstickers. Ahoy... jump on that boat and take her for a ride! Once again, drinks and food were everywhere on the boat! Tables were covered with party favors, glow sticks, hats and neon glasses. We worked our way up to the top level with a huge stained glass ceiling, a DJ, and balloon covering the whole room. Once again there was more boooooooze and lots of dirty dancing. We cruised the bay for two hours and were dropped off where we boarded. The party was in full effect and you could hear the music coming from inside the Catamaran. We grabbed a few more snacks and drinks and worked our way around the hotel. This may be a good time to mention that I never waited two or three minutes anywhere for a drink the entire night and the food kept coming out... that's insane! We posted up in the main room which was definitely the biggest and you could tell by the balloons on the ceiling that it was going to be the place to be for the countdown. We killed some time, ate some more, drank some more, listened to music and found our little corner to ring in 2013. It was nothing short of fantastic... I am going to give BIG PROPS to VAVI for pulling this together. They thought of everything and had eager staff members everywhere and ready to help out. A female guest in our group even commented that a moment that stuck out as memorable to her was when she was in line for the bathroom. Whats so memorable about waiting in line for the bathroom? Well, a VAVI employee noticed the line and came over and instructed where everyone could go for shorted bathroom lines. That's rad! I will most definitely be back to ring in 2014!

I have made it to the Vavi NYE bash a few years in a row now. I will have to say this was the most organized one yet. Last year the lines for drinks were a bit tough to handle, this year was pretty smooth on the wait time. -I got hammered -Danced -Laughed -Hung out on a boat -Counted down -Got a midnight kiss -Somehow woke up with a fridge full of Coconut Water the next morning. Big thanks to the Catamaran and Vavi for another awesome NYE. Hope to do it all again next year.

Really fun party and, considering the large number of people, very well organized and executed. I never had to wait for a drink or a plate of food, and the staff were super friendly and helpful - both Vavi staff and Catamaran staff. The atmosphere was fun, lots of really friendly good-looking people, décor was a bit cheesy for sure but hey, its New Year's Eve. The boat cruise was great, but unfortunately it was foggy that night so we couldn't see anything. I enjoyed the casino games though and the DJ on the boat was really good. The only thing is - they didn't tell us that the bar shuts down for like 15-20 mins before the boat docks back at the Catamaran (because they don't want people walking off the boat with drinks since no alcohol is allowed on dock). Would've been helpful to know this, but it's ok - we needed a break from the drinking anyway. Inside the Catamaran - 4 rooms of dancing. The largest room was all EDM music, which can get tiring after a while, a little variety would've been nice. Also, that room was the one with all the balloons on the ceiling so we tried to squeeze in there for midnight but it was nearly impossible - dance floor was so crowded it was ridiculous! We got outta there and went into the next room over which was just as fun and way less people. The DJ's were all good - some better than others IMO. I would've preferred more "dance" music like hip hop or top 40 stuff. While they did play some, most of it was somewhere in the house/EDM/techno category. Regardless, we danced the whole night and had a blast! A few suggestions to Vavi for next year: 1. Better beer selection - SD is the beer capitol of the country, you can't just be serving Miller beers...and that Red's apple stuff was gross. Gotta get some local brews! 2. Better food selection - I would say that the quality of the food was somewhere on par with a fast food joint. Soggy buffalo "Wings" aka chicken balls didn't even taste like chicken. 3. Better party favors - step it up just a little bit - many of the favors came out of the packages already broken, and the glow sticks were the absolute worst - they leaked that glow fluid all over us! what a mess! I would suggest quality over quantity. You don't have to have 1000 diff types of favors, just having a few quality hats/noisemakers/glow sticks would have been better. 4. There were lots of great photo booths and photographers all over the place - but where are the photos? Only one photo booth actually gave you photos to take home. no idea where the other photos can be found (ie photo at entry, etc). Would be nice to know. Overall, we had a great time! I would recommend this party to friends for sure.

For those into a more private, romantic way to welcome the New Year, we have just the ticket for you! San Diego has some beautiful restaurants with stunning water views that are perfect for a New Year’s Eve candlelight dinner for two.

We recommend getting reservations in ASAP, however, as these fine eateries will likely fill up fast due to limited seating (and of course, holiday demand). You can contact the restaurant directly, or reserve through Open Table. Here are a few to check out:

Bali Hai Restaurant on Shelter Island

Brigantine at Port Side Restaurant at The Embarcadero

Island Prime- C-Level on Harbor Island

For a birds’ eye perspective on New Year’s Eve in San Diego, these lovely San Diego rooftop bars and restaurants are the perfect way to welcome the New Year with the ones you love. After all, we know America’s eighth-largest city just happens to have some spectacularly breathtaking panoramic views. Many of these rooftop bars are in hotels, so if you want to make it super convenient, book yourself a room for the night and don’t worry about getting home safely.

Book a Suite and Invite a Few Friends 

A few years back, we booked a suite with a balcony on a high floor of the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina . Then we invited a few friends in to celebrate the New Year with us. Living in San Diego, we could also pack some of our favorite New Year’s hor d’ourvres and order a few platters from the hotel restaurants.

The views over the Marina were beautiful, we sat outside the tropical grounds and enjoyed some red wine by the warm firepits. Then we headed back to our suite to pop the champagne cork watch the ball drop in New York City and other places around the world. Book your stay here>>

Other hotels and resorts we love with gorgeous views and a special ambiance include:

Catamaran Resort in Pacific Beach

Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa on Coronado Island

Hotel del Coronado on Coronado Island

Build a Bonfire on the Beach for NYE in San Diego

This is perfect for those who love the outdoors but don’t love the crowds. There’s always something fun about building a bonfire —on a beach —feet in the sand-listening to the ocean waves.

We’re fortunate that San Diego has so many beaches that allow bonfires.

So, layer up, pack your food and beverages, beach chairs, beach blankets, and head to one of our suggested beaches for warm bonfires and firepit fun. But arrive early to ensure you get your space as fire pits on San Diego beaches are on a first-come-first-served basis. More information can be found in this beach bonfire guide from California Beaches.

Coronado Beach- located near the Hotel del Coronado.

Glorietta Bay Beach Park- on the San Diego Bay side of Coronado Island .

Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas.  

Ocean Beach City Beach- in Ocean Beach.

Oceanside Harbor Beach- located in front of Oceanside City Harbor.

Playa Pacific Park in Mission Bay-cozy little beach park on the east side of Mission Bay.

Ski Beach Park in Mission Bay- located on Vacation Isle.

South Shores Park-located at the end of Mission Bay with views of Sea World

Tourmaline Surfing Beach Park- on the border of Pacific Beach and La Jolla districts of San Diego. 

Order in and Celebrate the New Years in PJs

Some folks just prefer a quiet candlelit New Year’s Eve celebration at home where they can curl up next to a fireplace in their favorite pajamas and watch celebrations from around the world on TV.

While keeping it simple, how about ordering out some of your favorite cuisine from one of our awesome San Diego restaurants? We’ve listed some of our favorite restaurants available for delivery on December 31 st (we can vouch for these as we’ve dined there).

 However, options online are impressive, so, you’ll likely find something that suits your palate and the occasion.

Asti Ristorante – Downtown/Gaslamp

Catania – La Jolla

Civico 1845 -Little Italy

CUCINA urbana – Banker’s Hill

Duke’s -La Jolla

Isola Little Italy – Little Italy

Osteria Panevino- Downtown/Gaslamp

Puesto – La Jolla and at the Headquarters- Downtown/Gaslamp

Stake Chophouse & Bar – Coronado

The Barrel Room – Rancho Bernardo

The Red Door -Mission Hills

The Fishery – Pacific Beach

The Smoking Goat Restaurant – North Park

We hope some of these suggestions will be helpful on the different ways San Diegans can spend New Year’s Eve. 

However you choose to ring in 2024, stay safe, happy, healthy, and enjoy toasting in the New Year. Whether it’s with a glass of bubbly, or apple cider.

Hello I thought I was reading an article from last year. I do not understand why you would make these recommendations right now. The medical field is suffering to take care of us. And I’m sorry but you seem so blasé for making these recommendations Telling people to go out and do these things??!! I guess everyone is entitled to there opinion. And there’s free press. But far as I see this to be considered stupid press.

December 31, 2020 at 4:01 pm

Hi Bridget,

so sorry you don’t like the article. The article was first published on December 3, before the last shutdown in San Diego and it also includes a disclaimer that not all things to do are open because of the current health advisory. Thank you for your understanding!

December 31, 2020 at 4:32 pm

As the author of the article, I can assure you that at the time of posting, as Maria said, all information was accurate and up to date. I know it’s been difficult as everything is such a moving target this year with COVID-19. I hope the information is helpful for you in planning a much different New Year in 2021. I know we’re all looking forward to that as well!
