From Vampires to Luchadors: Marriott Bonvoy’s Halloween takeover hits Dubai
Three themed parties promise eerie games, cocktails and music by the beach
DUBAI – No Halloween plans yet? Don’t worry, the night is still young and the ghosts are waiting.
Marriott Bonvoy’s beachfront favourites, Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort and Aloft Palm Jumeirah, are turning up the fright factor with three themed celebrations guaranteed to resurrect your Halloween weekend.
From a zombie rave to a Mexican-style fiesta, here’s where to crash Dubai’s final and most haunting parties of the season.
Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort
Vampires & Zombies Bash: Oct 30 | 8PM to 10PM
The undead took over Black Goose at Sheraton JBR on Thursday night, filling the venue with monstrous beats, creepy games and chilling surprises that made guests’ blood run cold – in the best way possible. Partygoers showed off their spookiest looks and embraced the eerie fun for Dh209, which included a two-hour unlimited package of devilish delights.
Boo or Brew – Halloween Quiz Night: Oct 31 | 6PM to 2:30AM
The fright fest continues with a quiz night designed for trivia-loving ghouls. Guests can sip Spiked Cauldron Cocktails, take on the Wicked Wings Challenge and join beer pong and foosball tournaments. Costumed contenders will have a chance to win prizes ranging from beer buckets to signature burgers. The Dh209 two-hour unlimited package makes it the ultimate fix for anyone haunted by “no-plans” Halloween blues. Reservations: 050 455 6765.
Aloft Palm Jumeirah
Día de los Muertos – Fiesta de los Fantasmas: Oct 31 | 7PM to 10PM
At Luchador Rooftop Cantina & Lounge, it’s all about colour, rhythm and spirits – both literal and festive.

Inspired by Mexico’s Day of the Dead, this rooftop bash promises unlimited margaritas, live Latin beats and a neon-skull photo corner made for Instagram. Dress in Calavera or Luchador style for a chance to win dinner for two. Entry is Dh169 per adult, including unlimited margaritas. Call 052 609 3371 or email restaurants.aloftpalm@alofthotels.com for reservations.
