No city does New Year’s Eve quite like Dubai—it’s glitzy, vibrant and action-packed! From live music and gala dinners to one of the best fireworks displays in the world, the United Arab Emirates is the place to be on 31 December for an opulent and thrilling night.
We’ve gathered our pick of exclusive NYE events—and the most luxurious accommodations to complement the trip—in the megacity of Dubai.
Watch the Fireworks as They Paint the Night Sky from a Private Yacht
New Year’s Eve in Dubai would not be complete without watching the world-renowned fireworks display. Whether you’re heading to the Burj Khalifa, Atlantis, The Palm or Al Seef, watching the sky burst with sparkles is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Elevate the occasion by booking a private yacht for the night. Not only will you have an incredible view of the fireworks, but also experience a unique venue for ringing in the New Year with your closest friends and family, away from the busy crowds.

Dance "All Night Long" with Lionel Richie
Say goodbye to 2024 with a celebration of music! On 31 December 2024, the iconic Lionel Richie will take to the stage at Atlantis, The Palm to perform his most popular hits, and the audience is sure to be dancing on the ceiling when midnight strikes.
For a more premier experience, the venue has introduced 20 VIP Sky Suites. These private suites are elevated, with great views of the performance and the fireworks display over the city. Guests are treated to a sharing-style menu from world-renowned brands, including Nobu, La Mar by Gastón Acurio and Dom Pérignon, among others. Every whim is catered for with a private butler available for the full evening.
Visit KRASOTA Restaurant for the Imaginary Future Show
From 20 November 2024 to 31 December 2024, KRASOTA, an innovative restaurant that blends high-quality cuisine with digital art, hosts a ‘gastro show’ exploring alternate futures for humankind. Guests will enjoy a seven-course tasting menu while immersed in seven captivating stories told through pixel-perfect animation and interactive games. This is the ultimate NYE event for food lovers looking for a one-of-a-kind night.
But, the party doesn’t end at just incredible gastronomy. Located within the Address Downtown Hotel, KRASOTA's terrace offers guests exclusive views of the fireworks show at Burj Khalifa. Unlimited Dom Pérignon, wine and cocktails, New Year canapés and a live band will ensure the celebrations continue until the early hours of the morning.
