So, pick out your favourite costume and embrace the shadows, join the mischief, and let Halloween cast its spell over the city.
Devilish Delights
Warming you up for all the moonlit mischief, INA is setting the table for a frightful feast filled with signature flame-grilled bites for you to stick your fangs into. Taking place on Halloween night, step into the chaos and embrace the darkness of the chilling INA Underworld. The evening unfolds over a specially crafted set menu, featuring seasonal flavours such as marbled Carra wagyu beef served alongside roast pumpkin and the sinfully sweet Anglaise Bloody Heart, layered with cherry and white chocolate ganache.
Turning up the volume, dazzling spectacles will emerge from the shadows, with twirling dancers inviting you to immerse yourself in all the otherworldly energy. Tying this hauntingly exquisite experience together, special guest DJ Kashovski will be on the decks. Finally, if you didn’t have time to get fully dressed up, a pop-up from Prive7 will be on hand to help you get into the spirit of things with a Halloween makeover.
For a different kind of Halloween treat, it’s showtime at Adaline. Step into the Neitherworld, say his name three times, and prepare for a Beetlejuice-inspired evening of dinner, show, and party where the strange and unusual take centre stage. Begin Fright Night by dining like the dearly departed with a mouthwatering spread of refined Italian dishes and marvel at eerie performances from ghostly dancers, bewitching singers, and eccentric characters straight from the world of Beetlejuice.
Howl-Worthy Celebrations
Al Habtoor Polo Resort sure knows how to throw an all-out Halloween celebration, and this year, guests can once again expect plenty of frightful fun. Allowing you to channel your sixth sense, make your way to Horse & Hound on October 30th for a special Halloween Quiz Night featuring spooky trivia and the chance to win a one-night stay at the resort for the best-dressed guests. Over at The Clubhouse, ghosts and ghouls of all ages can delight in a Family Movie Night screening of Hotel Transylvania while savouring delicious bites and drinks, before enjoying pumpkin carving and letting off some steam at the bouncy castle.
For those seeking to embrace all the reverie and revelry of Halloween Night in Dubai, head to LY-LA, an enchanting cocktail lounge tucked under ALAYA in DIFC. Hidden behind a secret door, the Bedouin tent will be transformed into a haunted yet elegant sanctuary, where shadowy figures dance under flickering candlelight and each corner reveals mysterious details. Bringing the venue to life this fright night, DJ Fedde will open with his signature Tech and Melodic House beats, followed by acclaimed duo Jixo & Danz, showcasing their legendary energy and seamless back-to-back chemistry on the decks.
Over at Gatsby Dubai, this glamorous venue will also undergo a wicked Halloween makeover, awakening an evening of otherworldly revelry, hypnotic beats, and tantalising flavours from October 29th to November 2nd. Come dressed in your spookiest attire to receive a complimentary welcome drink with Halloween exclusives, including The Bloody Pact, comprising blood-red cherry and Scotch, and The Red Widow, a sweet-and-sour temptation blending vodka, almond, lime, and red grape. Keeping spirits high, the venue will host a spellbinding lineup of unmissable sets from the legendary DJ Eli Rojas, Agustin Mesa, and many more.
Spooktacular Stays
Sure, Halloween is only one night out of the year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t spread out the fang-tastic festivities a little longer. Families who are avid spooky season enthusiasts can extend the celebration with a whole week of Halloween-inspired activities from October 27th to November 2nd at Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai.
Little ones can get Halloween-ready with mask making, crafting ghost lanterns, treasure hunts, and do the Monster Mash at the daily Spooky Kids’ Disco.

Located on the eastern crescent of Palm Jumeirah, Rixos The Palm Dubai Hotel & Suites is another favourite for families looking to celebrate spooky season.
