Parador Resort & Spa in Costa Rica is ringing in the New Year in eco-luxe fashion with its Green New Year’s Eve Package. The four-night special features a New Year’s Eve party with dinner, open bar, live entertainment, fireworks, plus a New Year’s Day brunch. Entertainment is staged throughout the sprawling ocean-view resort, set amidst the rainforest-encased Manuel Antonio National Park.

Priced from $725 per night for two guests in an ocean-view suite (tax included), the Green New Year’s Eve Package begins with a welcome cocktail and a suite overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Parador Resort & Spa’s new Las Suites luxury complex. Breakfast buffet is included daily.

New Year’s Eve starts with an opulent dinner buffet featuring freshly prepared sushi, succulent lobster and seafood, barbecue and other culinary delights. An open bar with champagne serves well beyond the midnight hour, when spectacular fireworks emblazon the sky. Live bands and DJs provide the groove, and a traditional Brazilian-inspired costumed parade will perform. A New Year’s Day brunch follows the morning after.

Parador Resort & Spa’s Green New Year’s Eve Package is priced at $725 ppdo, or can be upgraded to include a couple’s massage for $762 per night. Taxes are included.
