Immerse yourself in the grandeur of Atlantis, The Palm, a pioneering icon on Dubai's Palm Island, or its opulent sister, Atlantis The Royal. Both resorts beckon with exclusive access to unrivalled amenities like the Aquaventure Waterpark, the largest on the globe. Whichever resort you choose, either destination promises to deliver an experience nothing short of extraordinary.

Delight in the splendour of Dubai with Atlantis

Atlantis, The Palm

We recommend Atlantis, The Palm for everyone from honeymooners to families – there are space and facilities enough for everybody to do their thing. For the former, head to the adults-only WHITE Beach Club which is known for its Instagrammable pools and stylish outdoor restaurant. Meanwhile, those staying with kids will love getting their pulses racing with more than 105 record-breaking slides, attractions, and experiences, including the Raging Rapids. There’s also the Atlantis Explorers Club for kids and The Zone for teens, giving junior visitors the chance to make new friends.

Another outstanding aspect of this resort is the Michelin-starred Ossiano Underwater Restaurant, an innovative fine-dining experience inspired by the oceans. Then there’s Nobu, listed among the best restaurants in Dubai by the Michelin Guide, offering world-renowned Japanese cuisine with a Peruvian twist (including the classic dishes black cod miso and wagyu beef tacos) and some of Dubai's best sushi, accompanied by gorgeous views of The Palm and Dubai Marina skyline.

Finally, don’t miss the Awaken Spa – a huge, opulent, and overwhelmingly beautiful space with 27 treatment rooms, cryotherapy facilities, and a state-of-the-art gym with pool views.

Atlantis The Royal

If you’re ready to take things up a notch, Atlantis The Royal’s facilities let you immerse in opulence during your stay, with the world’s first Nobu by the Beach restaurant, which joins other celebrity chef culinary venues providing some of the most thrilling dining experiences in the city. Indeed, Atlantis is the only resort in the world with 18 restaurants and bars headed up by celebrity chefs.

There are also fantastic wellness facilities at your disposal, including the unique Hammam Sensorium, together with a full 2km of beachfront to relax on, and three swimming pools for adults only – the 90-metre infinity Sky Pool at Cloud 22, at Nobu by the Beach, and inside the spa.

The stylish rooms, suites, and signature penthouses in this 43-storey resort include 44 suites with private pools where guests can ‘swim in the sky’. All feature hand-sculpted textures, bespoke amenities by Graff and Frette, hand-stitched Hypnos mattresses, and fabulous views, and Royal Club rooms add access to an exclusive lounge serving afternoon tea and complimentary free flowing beverages all day.
