New Year’s Eve tends to put pressure on you in terms of what to do. You’re either the sensible one who’s home by midnight, the party person who wants to go all out, or the parent negotiating bedtimes like a hostage situation.
It’s rare to find someplace to spend the last hours of 2025, where all of these options don’t cancel each other out, but The WB Abu Dhabi, Curio Collection by Hilton is exactly that kind of destination. On Yas Island, the hotel is giving December 31 the red carpet treatment, with three different themed experiences that suit various moods without diluting the fun.
For families, Sidekicks, the hotel’s themed restaurant, delivers a fun-filled pyjama party. From 7:30pm until midnight, guests can settle into an evening of relaxed dining, featuring live cooking stations and iconic characters from beloved franchises popping in to keep the little ones engaged right through to the countdown.
At the other end of the spectrum sits The Director’s Club, a dining experience that frames New Year’s Eve as an elegant affair. The venue’s sit-down dinner, named A Night with the Stars, runs from 7:30pm to 00:30am. Live entertainment and award-winning dishes make the event ideal for guests seeking a more sophisticated end to 2025.
For those who prefer their countdown with a view, The Overlook offers a Roaring 20s-themed masquerade party. From 8:30pm to 00:30am, the rooftop lounge pairs buffet dining with live cooking stations, signature cocktails and a DJ who keeps the energy electric as midnight approaches. The 306-degree panoramic views of Yas Island bring the wow factor, while the black-and-gold dress code adds a touch of cinematic glamour.
At The WB Abu Dhabi, you get to welcome 2026 exactly the way you want to. So if you’re looking for a destination that can check off all the New Year’s Eve boxes, you know where to head.
