Sponsored: One island, three ways to welcome 2026 with music, DJs, and fireworks at Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Dubai

This New Year’s Eve, Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Dubai is transforming one island into three distinct celebrations. Whether you’re drawn to a candlelit seaside dinner with jazz and French house, a high-energy beach club experience with DJs and a firework-lit countdown, or an elegant poolside gala with Champagne and live music, there’s an event for every vibe. Each experience brings its own rhythm, style, and view of the midnight fireworks, so you can welcome 2026 exactly the way you want – whether you’re in the mood for music, glamour, or a relaxed coastal evening.

Maison Mer: Riviera nights

Step into a Riviera-inspired coastal evening at Maison Mer. The night starts with soft jazz as the sun sets, followed by a curated five-course dinner in a warm candlelit setting. As midnight approaches, a live band brings French classics to life before a sparkling toast by the shoreline. The night flows into a French house set from the resident DJ, with soft drink and premium beverage packages until 11.30pm, then an à la carte menu for a relaxed entry into 2026.
