New Year, New You: 6 Reasons to Plan Your Hamptons NYE Getaway Now

1. Dinner reservations fill up fast

Several restaurants in the Hamptons offer special multi-course pre-fixe dinners on New Year’s Eve and/or brunch on New Year’s Day. Some popular spots in previous years include Baron’s Cove in Sag Harbor, Calissa in Water Mill and Nick & Toni’s in East Hampton – just to name a few.

These spots fill up fast – so it’s best to make your reservations as early as possible. (Note that some locations have not yet released their NYE dinner selections, but it can’t hurt to call and ask anyway.)

2. New Year’s Eve Parties can be exclusive
It’s no surprise that the Hamptons can be exclusive. After all, many celebrities have homes here – and other high-profile figures travel from around the world to attend the hottest parties.
New Year’s Eve in the Hamptons is no exception. So if you want a ticket to live music, nightclubs or other events at hot spots like The Stephen Talkhouse or Gurneys, then you have to act fast. These venues only offer so many tickets for their New Year’s Eve bashes, so be sure to get yours before it’s too late.

3. Don’t miss out on your favorite hotels
Sure, there are plenty of hotels and other lodging accommodations throughout the Hamptons and beyond. But if you want the best and widest range of options for your NYE Hamptons getaway, then you need to book early – ideally weeks or months in advance. That’s especially true when booking larger suites, which are limited at most hotels. So if you’re traveling with family, or you simply want a large, luxurious space to sprawl out, then be sure to reserve a room now.

4. Access prime travel accommodations before the best are taken
Flights, train tickets, car service, rentals – however you plan to travel, it’s best to book early to get the accommodations you want.
For example, here at Jackrabbit Limo, we offer a wide range of chauffeured vehicles for our car & limo services in the Hamptons. But there is always high demand for our most luxurious sedans and sprinters. We strongly recommend reserving as early as possible to ensure the availability of the vehicle you want.

5. Early bookings may cost less
Hotels, events and other accommodations in the Hamptons sometimes come with discounted pricing for early bookings. So it literally pays to plan in advance. If you wait until New Year’s Eve to book your hotel (when the demand is highest and rooms are scarcest), then you might be stuck with an exorbitantly large bill. Do your wallet a favor and reserve ahead of time.

6. Peace of mind
It’s the New Year! Time for a new you! Don’t turn your Hamptons NYE getaway into a stressful experience. Planning ahead will eliminate the stress of last-minute arrangements, so you can relax and look forward to your trip without worry.
