Escape the hustle and bustle of the city this New Year's Eve and head to Somabay, the 5* destination on Egypt's Red Sea Riviera. With guaranteed sunshine and a whole host of parties and gala dinners to enjoy, Somabay is going that extra mile to help guests celebrate the end of the decade…

If you're looking to dance into the New Year, Somabay is the prime destination to do so thanks to its world-class event spaces, most of which are conveniently located right on the beach. This year, the destination is hosting a techno and electronic music festival Family & Friends Reunion IV on 29 and 30 December. This 2,000-person party is set to kick start the New Year celebrations with an impressive line-up of big-name DJs and artists, including Monolink (who recently played at Burning Man Festival), Adam Port, Bahramji and Medusa Odyssey.

For those that would rather save their energy for the big night on 31 December, the winter sun hotspot will be hosting the immersive GALERIE event. With everything from an exclusive open bar and a secret set from a surprise act, this event promises to keep party-goers dancing until the first sunrise of the year.

All of Somabay's five hotels will be hosting special gala dinners to ensure guests are fuelled up for the evening's celebrations. Here, they will be able to sample authentic local dishes while enjoying live music to get them in the mood for the evening's festivities. For those travelling with children, the Sheraton Soma Bay Resort is the destination's most family-friendly hotel thanks to the Somasplash waterpark and the 'no mummies kids' club, while the Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay is the most luxurious hotel in the destination, perfect for a romantic New Year's Eve escape.

Looking beyond the New Year's celebrations, Somabay offers a wealth of activities for everyone to enjoy. The destination is home to some of the best snorkelling, diving and kitesurfing conditions in the world so there's certainly no shortage of day-time activities on or in the water. For those looking to relax after the nights' antics, guests can enjoy an aqua-tonic treatment at the Cascades Spa & Thalasso, the largest spa in Africa, or play a round of golf at the Cascades Championship Golf Course designed by golfing legend Gary Player.
