For New Year’s Eve, a beach-club “package” can mean a complete buffet and drinks, an after-party ticket, or just bar access. This comparison includes two current, operator-listed dinners where the price and meal are clear. Both are on 31 December 2026; neither page assigns a named seating zone, so ask where your table will be before paying if fireworks sightlines matter.
| Venue | Adult price and meal | Child price | Drinks / extras | Time, view and booking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bal Harbour Beach, Palm West Beach | AED795 soft; AED995 house; AED1,495 Champagne, per person.

Full payment secures reservation; late cancellation under 7 days or no-show is non-refundable. |
| Beach by FIVE, Palm Jumeirah | AED2,500 per person early bird; AED3,000 per person standard. Gala buffet with live stations, sushi, barbecue and festive desserts. | AED1,000 per child, ages 6–12 | Premium alcoholic beverages in both tiers; standard adds Champagne per couple. Bohemia after-party access in both. | Dinner from 7pm; beachfront fireworks views. The page marks bookings “almost sold out”; it does not confirm whether the early-bird tier remains available. Table location is not stated; confirm with the venue. |
Bal Harbour Beach: buffet, grills and child pricing in the booking details
Bal Harbour’s offer starts at AED795 per adult for a soft-beverage package. The booking page also lists AED995 with house beverages and AED1,495 with Champagne. Each includes the New Year’s Eve beach party and full buffet; live grills, a DJ, live entertainment and a percussionist carry the evening through the countdown. The event runs from 8pm to 12:30am on Palm West Beach, with views toward the Dubai Marina skyline, Ain Dubai and the fireworks.
The child pricing is unusually clear: AED395 per child aged 6–11, with children five and under dining free. At the soft tier, two adults and one child aged 6–11 come to AED1,985 before any unlisted taxes or fees. The page requires full payment to confirm a reservation; cancellations less than seven days before the event and no-shows are non-refundable. It does not identify a table zone or say whether every booking has the same fireworks sightline.
Beach by FIVE: the higher-priced dinner continues into Bohemia
Beach by FIVE is the longer evening if the point is to stay on the beach for dinner and then carry on at Bohemia. Its gala buffet lists international dishes, live cooking stations, sushi, barbecue and festive desserts, with live music and performances before the fireworks. The event begins at 7pm on 31 December.
The official event page lists AED2,500 per person for the early-bird package and AED3,000 per person for the standard package. Both include the gala dinner and Bohemia after-party; the early-bird tier includes premium alcoholic beverages, and the standard tier includes the same beverages plus Champagne per couple. Children aged 6–12 are listed at AED1,000, but the page does not detail the child menu or drink inclusions. A family total for two adults and one child would therefore start at AED6,000 using the early-bird rate, if that tier is still available.
The operator advertises uninterrupted fireworks views from the beachfront, but does not publish table zones or seating assignments. Ask where your booking will be placed, whether the early-bird tier remains on sale, and what applies to children outside the listed 6–12 band.
Which dinner fits your group?
Bal Harbour is the lower-cost choice and gives families the clearest child pricing. Its three adult beverage tiers let you decide how much the drinks package matters before committing. Beach by FIVE costs considerably more, but the booking includes the Bohemia after-party and the operator lists a 7pm start, giving the dinner more of a full-night format.
A third lead, Praia’s Amphitheater Gala Dinner, is not compared here because its current official page does not say whether the listed prices are per person or per table. AED750 buys bar access without dinner. Its Silver, Gold and Platinum dinner tiers list sharing food and BLING after-party access: Silver includes alcoholic beverages and bubbles; Gold, premium alcoholic beverages; Platinum, premium alcoholic beverages, Champagne and premium seating. The page gives no package capacity or price unit, so confirm both before budgeting a group booking.
For either confirmed package, check the final payment amount, the assigned seating zone and any age or cancellation terms that are not shown on the event page. Fireworks visibility can vary across a beachfront venue; a general view claim does not identify the view from a particular table.
