Masquerade New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner at Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah

About the Masquerade Gala Dinner at Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah

If you like a New Year’s Eve with a theme, Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah has one ready for you. On Thursday 31 December 2026 the resort is hosting a masquerade gala dinner, inviting guests to dress up, put on a mask and celebrate the arrival of 2027 at an open air party on the Palm. The evening runs from 8pm until 1am, which leaves plenty of time for dinner, entertainment and dancing after the countdown.

Time Out Dubai’s New Year’s Eve 2026 guide describes the gala as transforming the night into a masquerade evening, with performances during dinner, free-flowing drinks and an impressive spread of food. It is one of several New Year’s Eve options at the resort, and the most theatrical of them.

What to expect

Here is what has been published about the masquerade gala so far:

• A masquerade theme, so dressing up is very much part of the fun
• An open air party from 8pm
• Performances during dinner
• Free-flowing drinks
• A large food spread
• Timings of 8pm to 1am

The resort has not yet shared a detailed menu, the names of its performers or its plans for midnight, so if any of those details matter to you, ask the team when you book.

Prices

Tickets are listed at AED 2,200 per adult. Children aged 6 to 11 are priced at AED 1,100 and children aged 3 to 5 at AED 500, so families are clearly welcome. The resort has not published what drinks are included for adults beyond the free-flowing drinks mentioned in the listing.

Who it is for

This is a natural fit for anyone who enjoys a costume, from couples who want a glamorous date night to groups of friends who like a dressed up party with a playful edge. With children’s pricing starting from age three, it also works for families who would rather keep everyone together on the night. The open air setting on Palm Jumeirah gives it a holiday feel, and the late finish suits guests who want to keep the celebration going after midnight.

How to book

We could not find a dedicated booking page for the gala on the resort’s own website at the time of writing. Time Out Dubai lists the reservations number as 04 230 0073, and we would recommend calling to confirm availability, current pricing and what each ticket includes.
