Overview
The ultimate Mauritian NYE celebration is back
You spoke, and we listened. We're back, and we're bigger than ever! This New Year's Eve, join us at our stunning venue — the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Kingston — for an unforgettable night of Mauritian vibes, celebrations, friends, and family.
He's back by popular demand: the incredible Rithmo Sounds will be keeping the dancefloor moving all night long, playing a mix of Sega classics, dancefloor hits, and fresh tracks.
What's included
Everything you need for the night
Guaranteed seating
Every ticket includes a seat at a table — choose your exact spot at checkout.
BYOB & BYOF
Still bring your own booze and your favourite island feasts. Anything bought at the hotel's main bar, Daffodils, can be brought back to the party.
Smart-casual dress code
Relaxed — smart-casual as a minimum, traditional wear always welcome. Dress to dance and stay comfortable all night.
Free on-site parking
Free 2-floor car park round the back of the hotel — just register your vehicle at the hotel lobby.
Stay the night
Skip the late drive home with an exclusive discounted room rate at the Crowne Plaza (link sent in your confirmation email).
the exclusive VIP Lounge add-on
Last year our VIP tables sold out instantly. This year we've upgraded the game — a separate, private lounge right next to the main room, yours to come and go from as you please. Only 30 VIP tickets are available, bought as an add-on alongside a regular ticket.
- You're the DJ — connect your phone to the sound system and run your own private party
- Complimentary soft drinks, beer, wine & spirits (while stocks last)
- Complimentary midnight snacks (while stocks last)
- A microwave and mini-fridge for your own BYOB/BYOF
The VIP room is a standing/mingling space — your regular ticket still guarantees your seat at a table in the main room.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does my ticket guarantee me a seat?
Yes! This year we were strict about this. Every ticket guarantees you one seat (adult, or child aged 3–17), which you can choose at checkout. Children aged 3 and under don't need a ticket, but don't have an allocated seat.
Can I book a hotel room, too?
Absolutely — and we strongly recommend it so you can properly enjoy yourself. We'll email you a special link with a discounted rate as part of your confirmation email.
Where is the free parking?
Round the back of the hotel — a 2-floor car park you can use for free. Please register your vehicle registration at the hotel lobby.
Can I still bring my own food and drinks, including alcohol?
Absolutely! We know this is one of the most loved parts of our NYE events, so we've worked hard to keep it. Feel free to bring your own food and drinks.
What is the dress code?
Relaxed — we'd say smart-casual as a minimum, and traditional wear is always welcomed. We want you to be able to dance and stay comfortable!
Are you selling any drinks on the night?
No, we're not — please come with enough drinks for you and your party, especially water.
The fine print
- Advance tickets only — there will be no tickets sold on the door.
- No refunds once a ticket is purchased.
- Management reserves the right to refuse entry for disruptive behaviour or invalid tickets — a zero-tolerance policy is in full effect.
