Beach by FIVE NYE Gala Dinner, FIVE Palm Jumeirah

About the Beach by FIVE NYE Gala Dinner

FIVE Palm Jumeirah has a reputation for doing New Year’s Eve loudly and lavishly, and the NYE Gala Dinner at Beach by FIVE is the hotel’s beachfront way to welcome 2027. The celebration takes place on Thursday 31 December 2026, starting at 7pm and building through the evening to the midnight countdown and fireworks.

Beach by FIVE is the resort’s stretch of sand on Palm Jumeirah, and for New Year’s Eve it becomes an outdoor gala setting with live cooking stations, live music and performances. One of the things that sets it apart from many other galas is that the main dinner packages also include access to the Bohemia afterparty, so the night does not have to end when the fireworks fade.

What to expect

The evening is built around a gala dinner with live cooking stations and a buffet, accompanied by live performances and live music. As midnight approaches, guests gather for the countdown and fireworks viewing from the beach.

FIVE has published several ticket types. The early bird package covers the gala dinner with premium alcoholic beverages and Bohemia afterparty access. A step-up package adds champagne per couple. For those who would rather skip dinner, there is a bar access ticket with unlimited premium beverages until midnight.

The hotel lists these inclusions for the gala packages:

• Gala dinner with live cooking stations and buffet
• Premium alcoholic beverages
• Live performances and live music
• Fireworks viewing at midnight
• Access to the Bohemia afterparty

Who it is for

This is a celebration for people who want both a good dinner and a big night out. Groups of friends and couples who like a party atmosphere will feel at home, especially with the Bohemia afterparty included in the dinner packages.

Unusually for a beach party of this kind, FIVE has also published a price for children aged six to 12, so families who want to celebrate together on the beach have an option here. The hotel has not listed a price for children under six, so check with the team if you have younger ones.
