Time flew so fast this year, and in just a month and a few days, 2020 will soon be upon us.

With the New Year comes new hope for new beginnings (yep, that was a lot of mention of the word ‘new’) and that’s why we celebrate it. See the new year in style and start 2020 off the right way, with a Venetian masquerade gala, a family-style dinner, all-night DJ, and fireworks.

Where you ask? At the breathtaking St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi.

End the year fabulously: Enter, the Venetian Crush masquerade

Picture this: you’re all dressed up, with the people closest to you, in a beautiful backdrop that overlooks the Arabian waters and the winter breeze blowing in your hair. You walk into the resort, make your way to The Regal Ballroom and delight yourself in a delicious New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner. Starting the countdown to 2020 at 8.30pm, all the fun will be led by the gala dinner beforehand, then guests will be escorted to the sea view terrace for the live countdown. AKA the best and most exciting part of the night!

Fireworks will top off the year, followed by the DJ’s hype of the vibe through urban beats. YAAAS!

How much? AED1,950 per person (inclusive of selected bevvies) or AED725 for children aged 6-12.

The younger kiddos can enjoy for free.
