Magical moments in Hatta
Plan a road trip to the serene mountain town of Hatta. An exclave of Dubai, Hatta offers one of the most picturesque settings for any celebration. Skip traditional hotel rooms to pitch up a tent and sleep under a blanket of stars. The entire town is very well sign-posted so, if you feel like socialising, there's even a dedicated camping area complete with food trucks, barbecue facilities, showers and more. Wake up early to go trekking together along the mountain trails, watching the sun rise on 2024.

Scents, sea and supper
Make this New Year's Eve one to remember with mini adventures around Dubai. Start with a private perfumery session at Oo La Lab in Alserkal Avenue, a craft fragrance lab where you can create your own bespoke scents. Afterwards, wander around the Avenue and explore the creative hub's many contemporary art galleries. At sunset, there's no better place to be than the beach. Dubai's public beaches are all free to access, so pick up a few takeaway goodies and dine by the shimmering shores. And it's no secret that, come midnight, beaches across the city such as Kite Beach also offer the best views of celebratory fireworks displays.

Sheer luxury at DRIFT Beach
With its own private infinity pool, expansive terrace, lush garden and views of the Arabian Gulf, you'll be hard pressed to find a more upmarket spot to usher in 2024 than the private beach cabana at the One&Only Royal Mirage's DRIFT. Riviera-style vibes and prime firework views are guaranteed, while a feast featuring foie gras, caviar and lobster will tickle decadent taste-buds. And, if you want to invite friends to add to the celebrations, the space suits up to ten.

Iconic vistas at Pier Chic
It's known as one of the most romantic restaurants in Dubai, but on New Year's Eve Pierchic is even more special than usual. Book a table for two on the terrace and you'll not only be treated to chef Beatrice Segoni's spectacular La Dolce Vita seven-course fine dining experience at AED5,500 per person, but you'll be overlooking the iconic Burj Al Arab with incredible views of the hotel's fireworks as well as those lighting up the sky on Palm Jumeirah.
