The UAE comes alive during the holiday season. And if you’re thinking about where to ring in 2026 in serious style this year, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island has curated a New Year’s Eve celebration that’s not one to be missed.
Set along Abu Dhabi’s pristine coastline, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island is a destination in itself. The resort strikes a perfect balance between luxury and laid-back elegance with views of the sands and the waters, making it the perfect choice for an epic New Year’s Eve.
The evening begins the moment you step into the grand lobby, where a lively cocktail reception sets the tone. With live music performances, festive decor, and a warm ambience, it kicks off the celebrations.
From here, the night unfolds as you move into the main gala venue. The setting is spacious and blends beautifully with the outdoor area. With festive decor, ambient lighting, and the beauty of Saadiyat Island all around, the space comes alive with its red-and-silver sparkle.
Once seated, the culinary experience becomes the star of the show. Expect global flavours, premium cuts, fresh seafood, desserts, and live cooking stations to run throughout the night. Post dinner, you can enjoy the live entertainment that’s on the agenda with dance shows and other curated performances that are sure to keep the spirit and excitement high — including a show-stopping act by Electric Corn.
Close to midnight, the outdoor space lights up as you gather for the countdown. And once the clock strikes midnight, you get to enjoy the dazzling display of fireworks in the sky as the perfect welcome to 2026.
But things don’t cool down after the countdown. The after-party begins at The Courtyard with a DJ spinning tunes and more live performances. Families can have a great time too, as The Rixy Kids Club creates a magical New Year’s Eve program just for little ones, featuring magic shows, kids’ performances, inflatable games, clowns, face painting, a cinema, and much more.
With a stunning beachfront backdrop, delicious dining, and lively entertainment, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island offers a New Year’s Eve celebration that’s one for the books — priced at AED 2,950 per person.
So if you’re looking to welcome the new year in unforgettable style, this is where you need to be.
