A high-energy oceanfront celebration with glowing décor, DJ beats, seaside vibes, and a midnight fireworks countdown at Palm Pier
If your New Year’s Eve plans call for neon lights, ocean views, great music and zero entry fee, Bab Al Nojoum Hudayriyat has you covered.
This year, the island destination is lighting up the night with its free New Year’s Neon Glow Party at the stunning Palm Pier, and yes, the fireworks views are front row.
Kicking off from 10pm on 31 December, the oceanfront pier transforms into an open-air dance floor glowing under black lights and vibrant neon décor.
With palm trees overhead, waves lapping nearby and live DJ sets setting the rhythm, the energy builds fast as the crowd dances its way towards midnight and beyond.
Inspired by the laid-back, feel-good spirit of 25 Minutes to Tulum, the party blends familiar favourite drinks with seasonal flavours influenced by the sounds and soul of Tulum, Mexico.

As midnight approaches, partygoers gather overwater at Palm Pier for an unforgettable countdown, with uninterrupted views of the Marsana fireworks lighting up the Hudayriyat skyline and reflecting across the sea.
It’s one of the most scenic ways to welcome the New Year, surrounded by music, movement and glowing colour.
Set beneath illuminated palms with the ocean just steps away, the Glow Party captures the essence of Bab Al Nojoum’s philosophy, Love Life Outside, where celebration is open, energetic and connected to nature.
Whether you arrive straight from a festive dinner at 25 Minutes to Tulum or head in just for the afterparty vibes, this neon-lit seaside celebration promises a vibrant, carefree way to usher in the New Year by the sea.
