The beautiful lights of Kingston created a magnificent backdrop for the Smirnoff Xclusive New Year's Eve party. One night in Ibiza was held at Inswood Heights, Stony Hill.

The super-inclusive party saw the 'who's who' coming out to ring in 2010 in fine style. The night should have been billed a fashionista's affair as everyone looked super chic. The men looked absolutely fabulous, some sporting trendy apparel like tailored suits, while others went for a more hip look in jeans, dress shirts and ties, accentuated by a vest or jackets. The women were a pleasant sight to behold in their mini dresses and 'killer' heels complemented by fine jewellery.

Patrons took photos red-carpet style and received party favours upon arrival. A fully stocked bar, great food, cool 'peeps' and an awesome party vibe made the party a success. Though the air was very cool, DJ Shane, DJ Smoke from Renaissance Disco and Colin Hinds kept the party temperature high with reggae, hip-hop and alternatives hits.

Throughout the night, patrons partied like rock stars and they enjoyed every bit of what the party had to offer. Even a newly wed couple made it their preferred choice of celebration.
