Ringing In the New Decade in Paradise
In Chicago, we would ring in the new year in a swanky nightclub that had DJs performing until 5 AM. After moving to Naples, our new years have looked a little different in a couple of ways. The first is that we are not freezing cold! En route to festivities in Chicago, we would often have to wear snow boots which we would then swap for party shoes once we arrived…not ideal. The second is that though we can dance the night away here in Naples, we have more creative options pending how we want to end one year and begin another!
If you want to celebrate with dinner…
The Bevy
A weekly spot for us, The Bevy is the perfect place to celebrate in style with delicious food and a complimentary glass of bubbly. Seatings are at 5:00 and 8:00 PM and will offer an array of appetizer, entree, and dessert options.
For reservations, CLICK HERE.
*UPDATE* The 8:00 PM seating is sold out!
Campiello Ristorante & Bar
A popular choice amongst locals and vacationers, Campiello offers the perfect ambiance to usher in the new decade! For this special night, a four-course menu is being offered that is comprised of some of their most delicious dishes (though we’ve never had a single dish that we didn’t love).
Tickets are $250/pp and can be reserved by clicking HERE!
Celebration Park
A more casual dining option, Celebration Park will be ringing in the new decade with a complimentary midnight toast. Celebrating here would be a great option if you have a large group or need a family-friendly place to celebrate with plenty of food and drink options to please everyone!
If you want to celebrate on the beach…
Naples New Year's Eve Fireworks
Watching fireworks over the Gulf while lounging on the beach is the perfect way to celebrate in paradise! The show begins at 7:00 PM but if you want a good view of the show, we highly recommend packing a picnic and getting there early! If you don’t want to bother with packing food, however, you can reserve a spot in the sand with chairs or blankets and then walk over to the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club where you can order everything from a full dinner to a couple of apps and cocktails. Their beachfront restaurant, Sunset Beach Bar & Grill, is a favorite margarita spot of ours!

If you want to dance the night away…
Cavo
Reminiscent of our nights in Chicago, Cavo is hosting a Winter Wonderland NYE with a DJ to keep you dancing until 4:00 AM! The evening is sponsored by Veuve Clicquot and Belvedere Vodka and tickets are $60/pp. Though the tickets presumably do not include anything, we’ve spent a night or two dancing at Cavo and have always had a fantastic time!
What will we be doing?
We’re planning on getting to the beach early to soak up some sunshine and make sure we have THE PERFECT view of the firework show. While we like to pack our lunch (and a bottle of bubbly for during fireworks), we will be enjoying a casual dinner at Sunset Beach Bar & Grill with, of course, a margarita!
We hope that you have a safe and memorable celebration as we ring in a brand new decade! As you photograph your evening, include @thenaplesinsiders or #thenaplesinsider so that we can see how you are celebrating!
Cheers!
