3. Plan the Entertainment

South Goa hums a softer tune, yet your New Year celebration in South Goa can still brim with joy and charm.

  • Hire a local acoustic band, DJ, or saxophonist to create smooth melodies that perfectly set the desired vibe. Upon request, Lohono Stays can handle the arrangements for you.
  • Craft a personal playlist featuring your year’s highlights and timeless classics to guide your moment.
  • Elevate celebration with a spirited Antakshari game, sparking laughter, nostalgia, and unexpected talents emerging among your guests.
  • Cap the night with a bonfire on permitted grounds, wrapped in soft blankets while sipping warm toddies and watching distant fireworks light the sky.

4. Book Early, Plan Smart

Trust Lohono’s concierge to manage logistics—from décor to airport pickups—letting you indulge stress-free. With peak demand, early bookings protect your choice and give time for personalised touches.

  • Villa Stay: Reserve your preferred Lohono villa 2–3 months ahead.
  • Chef & Catering: Finalise menu & chef 4–6 weeks prior.
  • Entertainment: Arrange musicians, DJs, or décor at least 3–4 weeks in advance.
  • Transport: Book transfers or chauffeurs at least 2 weeks in advance of the event.

5. Add Thoughtful Touches

    Luxury thrives in details.

    Choose soft, airy themes like “Coastal White” or “Tropical Gold” that harmonise with South Goa’s natural beauty. Embrace local flowers, thoughtfully placed candles, and artisanal tableware for a cohesive elegance.

    Complement memories with candid photos via a hired discreet photographer or by setting up an instant-camera photo booth corner—spark moments that guests will cherish forever.

    6. Welcome the Morning After

      Allow your first dawn of 2026 to be as memorable as the night before.

      Start with poolside breakfasts, vibrant tropical fruits, fresh croissants, and coffee rich with warmth, while waves gently sing.

      Lohono curates yoga, massages, or private brunches for a serene new beginning. Explore the tranquil South Goa beaches, such as Colva or Palolem, at dawn, a perfect reflective retreat.

      7. Mind the Rules and Respect the Setting

        Even exclusive celebrations honour local customs.

        Ensure music volumes adhere to curfew hours, typically until midnight, and obtain permits for fireworks or live performances in advance.

        Prioritise safety with well-managed bonfires and supervised open flames. Lohono’s on-site experts ensure compliance, making your party worry-free.
