This New Year’s Eve, GITANO Dubai invites guests to experience Grand Ceremonia, a night where flavour, fireworks, and flair collide beneath the stars. From 8 PM to 12 AM, the one-night-only celebration unfolds with a seamless blend of modern luxury, bohemian energy, and the unmistakable spirit of GITANO, inspired by the vibrant soul of Tulum and the glamour of Dubai’s shoreline.
As the sun dips behind J1 Beach, the venue transforms into a candlelit wonderland of jungle greens, golden hues, and sultry sounds. Guests will dine and dance their way through an unforgettable evening of elevated modern Mexican cuisine, carefully curated beverages, and captivating performances – all leading up to a midnight moment unlike any other.
From 995 AED, guests can choose from a trio of indulgent dining experiences that set the tone for the night ahead. Hosted within GITANO’s stunning indoor restaurant, each experience celebrates the brand’s signature spirit, bold, beautiful, and irresistibly vibrant. The House Experience offers a taste of GITANO’s effortless chic atmosphere, while the Premium Experience invites guests to savour a selection of handcrafted beverages, including the GITANO Margarita and Paloma – capturing the essence of the brand, refined yet playful, sophisticated yet full of soul. For those seeking the ultimate expression of celebration, the Champagne Experience crowns the evening with a touch of sparkle, ensuring the countdown to 2026 is as dazzling as the setting itself.
Outdoors, the terrace and beach are transformed into a breathtaking beachfront dining scene stretching to the Palapa Bar, where elegant flooring and softly glowing light create an ambience of pure allure. Guests can enjoy a 500 AED set menu alongside a 1000 AED beverage minimum, as the evening deepens and the energy builds toward midnight’s spectacular moment.
The menu celebrates GITANO’s most-loved signatures, each a reflection of the brand’s dedication to bold flavour and modern Mexican artistry. Highlights include the Hamachi Tostada, delicately balanced with fermented chilli and grilled avocado; Wagyu & Caviar Toast, rich and indulgent with a touch of elegance; and the Quesabirria, slow-braised and meltingly tender within its crisp tortilla shell. The Branzino in Banana Leaf offers a fragrant nod to coastal tradition, while the golden Churros, dusted with cinnamon and served warm, bring a sweet finale that lingers long after the last bite. Every dish captures GITANO’s culinary essence, refined, vibrant, and designed to be shared.
Entertainment unfolds as an immersive journey throughout the evening, beginning with the soulful sounds of a live Mariachi party band and building through the curated sets of the resident DJs, each shaping the energy as the night evolves. As dinner transitions to dance, the atmosphere deepens, lights dim, the tempo lifts, moving heads pulse and lasers energise the space as GITANO’s signature energy takes hold, carrying guests from intimate warmth to a full-scale celebration beneath the stars.
At 11:55 PM, guests will be invited to gather for a bubbles reception upstairs, with sweeping views of the Burj Khalifa fireworks, or at the Palapa Bar, for front-row views of the J1 display. As the sky erupts in colour and light, GITANO welcomes 2026 with a crescendo of music, movement, and magic – intimate, electric, and entirely unforgettable.
More than a dinner, more than a party, Grand Ceremonia embodies the heart of GITANO: a celebration of life’s beauty, style, and indulgence. It’s the night Dubai’s cosmopolitan crowd will remember – the place to be and be seen as one year fades and another begins in shimmering style.
