There’s no better way to welcome a new year than to be surrounded by good food, great music, and an amazing community, and this year’s Iguana New Year’s Eve Party delivered all of that.
As the sun set over Nosara, guests and others from the community gathered at The Gilded Iguana front yard for an evening filled with delicious food stations, music, and Pura Vida energy.
The Feast: Fresh, Flavorful, and Full of Variety
Our chefs prepared a festive spread designed to celebrate the season and bring people together.
- A fresh salad bar filled with colorful ingredients
- Grill & carving stations serving perfectly cooked selections
- Seasonal holiday side dishes inspired by local flavors
- A full table of desserts and sweet treats to end the year on a sweet note
It was the kind of meal meant for sharing, and our guests made the most of it.
The Music: Live Bands, DJ Sets & Dancing Under the Stars
No New Year’s celebration is complete without music, and the night’s lineup made sure the energy never faded. A live band kicked off the evening, followed by a DJ set that kept everyone dancing into the night.
Families, friends, and new faces came together on the dance floor, the true heart of the evening.
The Atmosphere: Pure Nosara Magic
String lights, warm breeze, laughter, and clinking glasses set the tone for a night that felt both festive and intimate. Guests enjoyed conversations, dancing, and moments of joy with the people who make Nosara such a special place.
At midnight, the countdown brought everyone together for a moment of connection… the perfect start to a new year.
