"If city celebrations aren’t your scene, there are plenty of serene alternatives to welcome the new year without the party buzz. For a truly low-key, secluded New Year’s Eve in the mountains, head to the happiest place on earth — Bhutan — and indulge in an unforgettable stay at the ultra-luxe Amankora. Already a bucket-list destination for many, Amankora offers a setting that transcends luxury, inviting you to start 2025 in tranquility and self-renewal. It’s the ultimate escape for a peaceful, mindful beginning to the new year, setting the tone for a year of pure zen." - Faye Bradley
