New Year’s Eve at Smoki Moto, Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah

About New Year’s Eve at Smoki Moto

Smoki Moto brings a grill-house swagger to New Year’s Eve on Palm Jumeirah. The restaurant sits on the second floor of Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah on West Beach, and on Thursday 31 December 2026 it is hosting a celebration that begins with champagne and oysters at 7pm and carries on with dinner, entertainment and DJs until 12:30am.

The restaurant describes the night as an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration with fireworks views, and the format strikes a nice balance between a proper dinner and a party. Rather than a buffet, you are served a four-course sharing menu, which makes it a good choice for tables of friends who like to try a bit of everything.

What to expect

The evening is split into two parts. From 7pm to 8pm there is a champagne and oyster reception, giving you time to arrive, settle in and get into the festive mood. From 8pm to 12:30am the main event takes over, with the four-course sharing menu, live entertainment and DJs playing through midnight.

Smoki Moto offers three packages, each tied to a different seating area. The entry package places you in the indoor lounge, while the higher packages move you to grill tables indoors or to lounge and VIP tables on the outdoor terrace, which is where many guests will want to be for the fireworks.

The restaurant lists these inclusions:

• Champagne and oyster reception from 7pm to 8pm
• Four-course sharing menu
• Live entertainment
• DJs running through midnight
• Fireworks views

It is also a smart choice if you are staying at Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah or nearby on West Beach, as it keeps the whole evening under one roof, from the first glass of champagne to the last song of the night. That means no rushing between venues and less time spent in New Year’s Eve traffic.

Who it is for

This is a night for grown-up groups and couples who enjoy a lively restaurant atmosphere with music, rather than a quiet, formal dinner. The sharing menu suits friends who like to eat together, and the move from a reception to dinner and then DJs means the energy builds naturally towards midnight.

The restaurant has not published an age policy or children’s pricing on its festive page, so families should confirm whether younger guests are welcome before booking.

How to book

Bookings are made online through the New Year’s Eve reservation link on Smoki Moto’s festive season page. Choose your package when you reserve, as the price depends on where you sit.

• AED 1,850: Indoor Signature Grill Table or Outdoor Terrace Lounge

The restaurant has not stated on the page whether drinks beyond the reception are included in each package, so ask when you book if that matters to you.

Tip: If watching the fireworks is a priority, consider the outdoor terrace packages, as the indoor lounge and grill tables may not offer the same outlook at midnight.

Tip: Arrive in time for the 7pm reception. It is the only part of the night dedicated to champagne and oysters, and it gives you a relaxed start before the dinner and DJs take over.

Tip: New Year’s Eve on Palm Jumeirah means busy roads. Plan your transport both ways and allow extra time on the Palm’s trunk, particularly after midnight.

With oysters, a four-course sharing feast, DJs and fireworks views from the terrace, Smoki Moto’s New Year’s Eve is a confident, sociable way to welcome 2027. If you like your celebrations with a bit of smoke, fire and music, it is well worth booking.
