Soluna Under the Stars New Year’s Eve

About Soluna Under the Stars

Soluna Under the Stars is The First Group’s beachfront New Year’s Eve celebration at Soluna Restaurants and Beach Club on Palm Jumeirah. It takes place on Thursday 31 December 2026 from 8pm to 1am, and promises a buffet, premium beverages, live music and Dubai skyline views as the fireworks light up the night.

What makes this one a little different is the food. Rather than a single kitchen, the buffet is described as elevated and features pop-up stations from The First Group’s signature restaurants, so you can graze across several styles of cooking in one evening. Combined with a beach setting and festive décor, it adds up to a relaxed but special way to welcome 2027.

What to expect

Expect a beachfront celebration with an elevated buffet, pop-up food stations, premium beverages and live music. The venue will be dressed with festive décor, and as midnight approaches you will be looking out at the Dubai skyline as the fireworks begin.

The First Group offers a soft drinks package and two drinks packages, named Gold and Platinum, along with a children’s price. The group has not detailed exactly which drinks sit in each tier, so if you have a preference it is worth asking before you book.

The organiser lists the following:

• Elevated buffet with pop-up stations from The First Group’s signature restaurants
• Premium beverages, depending on package
• Live music
• Festive décor
• Dubai skyline views and fireworks

Running until 1am, the celebration also gives you time to linger after the countdown rather than being ushered out as soon as the fireworks end. That extra hour on the sand, with music still playing and the skyline glowing across the water, is often the most relaxed part of a New Year’s Eve beach party.

Who it is for

Soluna Under the Stars suits groups of friends, couples and families who want to celebrate on the beach with a good buffet, without the price tag of the Palm’s biggest hotel galas. The published children’s price for ages five to 11 makes it a realistic family option, and the 1am finish gives adults a little time to enjoy the celebration after the countdown.

Good to know

• Date: Thursday 31 December 2026
• Time: 8pm to 1am
• Location: Soluna Restaurants and Beach Club, Palm Jumeirah
• Early bird: 25 per cent off when booked by 7 December 2026
• Exact address and dress code: not published on the organiser’s New Year’s Eve page

Tip: The early bird discount is generous, so if you are fairly sure of your plans, booking before 7 December 2026 could make a real difference to the cost of a family or group table.

Tip: As this is a beach venue, bring a light layer for later in the evening. Late December nights by the sea can feel cooler than you might expect.

Tip: The organiser does not give a street address on its New Year’s Eve listing, so confirm directions and parking when you book, and allow extra time for Palm Jumeirah traffic.

With a buffet drawn from some of The First Group’s best-known kitchens, live music and fireworks over the skyline, Soluna Under the Stars is a friendly, well-priced way to see in 2027 by the sea. If you want a beach celebration that works for adults and children alike, it is a lovely option.
