Still Unsure About Your New Year’s Eve Plans? Above Eleven’s NYE Carnaval Is the Rooftop Party to Book Tomorrow
With New Year’s Eve now one day away, the familiar last-minute scramble begins. Group chats start lighting up, tables begin to disappear and everyone wants a plan that actually feels worth dressing up for. If you have left it late, Above Eleven’s NYE Carnaval is one of those late-December discoveries that will make you feel like you hit the jackpot.
High above the city, Above Eleven has earned its place as one of Dubai’s most stunning rooftops. On December 31st it steps into Carnaval mode, turning the venue into a Peruvian-Japanese celebration that blends Nikkei flavours, champagne and live music across both the indoor restaurant and open terrace. The atmosphere is lively from the outset and built for guests who want the night to feel like a celebration from the moment they arrive.
The event runs from 8 PM until 12.30 AM, giving the evening room to unfold before the fireworks take over the skyline. From your table or terrace spot, the city stretches out below as Dubai counts down to 2026, with DJs, saxophone sets and live performers shaping the pace of the night.
Three experiences are available. The Restaurant package at AED 1,500 per person suits those who want the energy of the room with the comfort of a seated dining experience, including a curated Nikkei set menu, premium spirits, champagne and soft drinks. The Lounge option at AED 1,700 per person offers a relaxed base while keeping you close to the centre of the party. For those drawn to open-air celebrations, the Terrace Bar at AED 2,250 per person delivers rooftop seating, live DJ and sax sets, skyline views and the same inclusive menu and drinks.
Carnaval is Above Eleven’s biggest night of the year and consistently attracts a well-dressed, social crowd who commit to seeing the year out properly. Bookings are confirmed with full pre-payment and late cancellations are non-refundable, so availability tightens quickly as the date approaches.
