Dubai’s beachfront hotels are preparing for the transition into 2027, and Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach has outlined a five-part programme of New Year’s Eve dining, entertainment and New Year’s Day celebrations. The events range from a shoreline cabaret-style gala and an Asian-inspired dinner to a rooftop party continuing until 4:00 am, with several venues positioned to offer views of the city’s midnight fireworks.

The resort’s plans for December 31, 2026, give visitors a choice between large-scale celebrations and more relaxed dining, but the prices, minimum spends and age restrictions vary substantially by venue. The resort has also scheduled a Mediterranean-style brunch for January 1, 2027.

Shoreline gala combines cabaret entertainment and a midnight fireworks view

The main New Year’s Eve Celebration by the Shore begins with welcome drinks and canapés at Jou Jou Brasserie from 7:00 to 8:00 pm on December 31. Guests then move to an outdoor gala from 8:00 pm, where the resort plans a buffet, French cabaret-inspired performances, dancers and live music overlooking the Arabian Gulf. The evening is scheduled around the midnight fireworks, followed by access to an after-party at Mercury Rooftop beginning at 12:30 am.

Tickets cost AED 4,500 per person with alcoholic beverages or AED 3,100 with non-alcoholic beverages. The price for children aged 6–12 is AED 1,500. Reservations and full prepayment are required. Access to the rooftop after-party is complimentary for eligible guests aged 21 and over, although drinks there are charged separately.

Sea Fu and Shai Salon offer contrasting dinner formats

For visitors who prefer a restaurant-led evening, beachfront Sea Fu will serve an Asian-inspired à la carte New Year’s Eve dinner from 8:00 pm, with a welcome glass of Champagne and views across the Gulf. The required minimum spend is AED 3,000 per person, with a charge of AED 1,500 for each child aged 6–12. Guests can also enter Mercury Rooftop from 12:30 am without an additional entrance charge, subject to its 21-and-over policy and pay-as-you-go drinks.

Shai Salon offers a quieter option, serving a limited à la carte menu from 5:00 pm until midnight. For diners arriving or staying after 8:00 pm, a minimum spend of AED 1,000 per person applies. The salon is positioned as a more understated setting for groups who want to share a meal before the wider resort celebrations reach midnight.

Mercury Rooftop runs into the early hours

The resort’s rooftop venue will stage its own New Year’s Eve programme from 8:00 pm on December 31 until 4:00 am on January 1, with DJs, live performances and views over Dubai and the Arabian Gulf. The resort says guests will be able to watch two fireworks displays at midnight.

A five-course set menu with soft drinks costs AED 2,600 per person; additional alcoholic beverages are charged on consumption. The quoted rate for children aged 6–12 is AED 1,300, while cocktail tables serving à la carte bites have a minimum spend of AED 1,000. The published age rules allow children aged six and older until 11:00 pm; after midnight, the venue is restricted to guests aged 21 and over. Families should clarify the arrangements for the intervening hour directly with the resort.

New Year’s Day shifts the focus to family brunch

On January 1, Jou Jou Brasserie will host a New Year’s Day brunch from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. The Mediterranean-inspired buffet is set to include live cooking stations with roasted meats, fish and fresh pasta, alongside live music and a children’s entertainment area.

Brunch costs AED 715 per adult with house alcoholic beverages, AED 455 with non-alcoholic beverages, and AED 225 for children aged 3–12. Champagne is available separately, and full prepayment is required to confirm a reservation.

For visitors planning New Year celebrations in Dubai, the key distinctions are not only where to dine and watch the fireworks, but also the level of minimum spending, the need for prepayment and whether children can stay for the late-night entertainment.
