Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale will usher in 2026 with its inaugural New Year’s Eve Coastal Countdown, combining beachfront dining, live entertainment, and an oceanfront midnight celebration at the luxury property along the Atlantic.
The evening begins with New Year’s Eve dining experiences at the hotel’s two signature restaurants. At MICHELIN-recognized Evelyn’s, guests can reserve seatings at 6:00 or 8:00 p.m. for an elevated tasting menu led by Chef Brandon Salomon, highlighting the restaurant’s coastal Mediterranean approach through refined seasonal dishes. On the ground floor, MAASS, led by Chef Ryan Ratino, offers a festive multi-course menu earlier in the evening, as well as an intimate Chef’s Counter tasting experience with limited seatings designed for a more immersive culinary presentation.
Later in the night, the celebration moves outdoors to the third-floor Ocean Pool Deck, where Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale hosts its first-ever New Year’s Coastal Countdown from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Overlooking the water, the event blends oceanfront ambiance with music, décor, and a midnight countdown marking the arrival of the new year.
Guests attending the countdown will have access to late-night bites from Evelyn’s, including caviar-forward offerings, alongside a dessert station featuring champagne-inspired sweets and classic confections. The beverage program centers on champagne service and specialty cocktails created by the James Beard–nominated ViceVersa team. Live DJs and a strolling saxophonist provide music across the pool deck and restaurant spaces throughout the evening.
The New Year’s Eve programming reflects the property’s focus on relaxed coastal luxury, offering multiple ways to experience the night—through dining, the countdown celebration, or both. Additional details about the event and property can be found on the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale website, as well as on Instagram and Facebook, where the hotel shares updates and behind-the-scenes content.
