The iconic COYA white party is coming back to Abu Dhabi
That's right, La Noche Blanca is making its triumphant return to COYA Abu Dhabi on Friday, June 20, and this all-white soirée is turning the summer heat into pure fire.
If you've been before, you know the drill: dazzling white fits, electrifying energy, unbeatable views of the Arabian Gulf and enough Peruvian flair to transport you straight to Lima. If you haven't? Consider this your official invitation to step into the legend.
For one night only, the Peruvian powerhouse will be serving up a five-course feast filled with COYA's signature hits and brand-new bites – and yes, it's every bit as decadent as you'd imagine. Think: lobster tacos, truffle snapper ceviche, whole grilled lobster with black ponzu, Wagyu sirloin rubbed in Peruvian spices, and a dreamy COYA sundae loaded with chocolate mousse, banana bread and tres leches. Oh, and lime cheesecake with exotic fruit sorbet? We're officially swooning.
Foodies can pair the spread with signature mixed drinks or opt for premium bottle service, while the city's most stylish crowd takes over the Pisco Bar, where COYA MUSIC's tribal beats and deep house vibes will keep the party pulsing until late.
Set against COYA's chic waterfront setting and elevated with all-white décor, La Noche Blanca is the ultimate way to kick off your summer with flair, flavour, and a whole lot of rhythm.
Dhs590 per person, minimum two guests. Friday June 20, 9pm until late. COYA Abu Dhabi, The Galleria Al Maryah Island (02 306 7000).
