Welcome in the New Year with Cornish Riviera Holidays in St Ives

If you’re dreaming of a memorable New Year escape, there’s nowhere quite like St Ives, Cornwall. With its coastal charm, festive energy, and world-class walks, staying here for New Year week is the perfect way to see out the old and welcome the new, all in the comfort of your own home-from-home with Cornish Riviera Holidays.

Why St Ives Is the Ultimate New Year Retreat

1. Iconic New Year’s Eve Celebrations

   St Ives is famous for its midnight fireworks display over the harbour, beautifully framed by the sea and the town lights.

   Even better – the whole town embraces fancy dress. It’s not just a local tradition; it’s become one of the UK’s most colourful street parties.

   The pedestrianised harbour front and closed roads add to the festive atmosphere, making it a lively yet family-friendly celebration.

2. Coastal Beauty & Winter Walks

   Ring in the New Year against Cornwall’s stunning coastal landscape. Wander the South West Coast Path, enjoy brisk seaside walks, and soak in the fresh sea air, a peaceful, refreshing way to start the year.

   For a quieter, reflective morning, head out on cliff-top routes to watch the sunrise, or simply take in the views from the headlands.

3. Flexible, Cosy Self-Catering

   With Cornish Riviera Holidays, you get total flexibility:

   • Cook your own celebratory meals in a well-equipped kitchen

   • Host family or friends, or enjoy a quieter retreat, we have sea-view properties, traditional fishermen’s cottages, and larger group homes

   • Many of our properties offer sea-views, and dog-friendly options

4. Local Atmosphere & Amenities

   St Ives’ charming pubs, cafés, and restaurants often run special New Year menus, but because you’re staying in a self-catered home, you can choose to dine out or cozy up indoors, whichever feels right.
