This New Year’s Eve, SLS Dubai invites guests to bid farewell to the ordinary and welcome 2026 in true SLS style - extravagant, mischievous, and spectacularly sky-high. With front-row views of the Burj Khalifa fireworks and a line-up of immersive dining and entertainment experiences across its celebrated venues, SLS Dubai promises a glamorous night of revelry where every moment is part of the show.

Dancers in silver and white bring the energy, while stilt performers and bursts of confetti fill the space with festive flair.
