The iconic Atlantis luxury resorts in Dubai

Let’s step inside two of the most iconic five-star hotels in Dubai. Atlantis, The Palm and the newly opened Atlantis The Royal both are incredible and beyond anything you’ve ever imagined.

Atlantis The Palm, Dubai

Let’s start with the original icon nestled between the calm turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf and the majestic Dubai skyline, Atlantis, The Palm is the crown of the world-famous Palm Island in Dubai.

If you are travelling as family, then Atlantis The Palm is the one we would recommend. All stays include complimentary access to Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium.

Your kids are going to have a blast conquering the world’s largest waterpark, home to over 105 record-breaking slides, attractions, and experiences. Make some unforgettable memories and tick some things off your bucket list at the Lost Chambers Aquarium, as you come face to face with the friendly Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins and playful South African fur seals at Atlas Village.

While the little ones hang out in the Explorers Club and The Zone, there is plenty to experience for adults too. This Dubai icon is the ultimate foodie destination with many dining options ranging from celebrity chef restaurant Nobu, Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen and Dubai’s all-time favourite hangout Wavehouse.

Atlantis The Royal, Dubai

The newest iconic landmark of Dubai, a stay at the Atlantis The Royal is an experience that will completely redefine your perspective of luxury. Opened in 2023, Atlantis The Royal is set on the crescent of Palm Jumeirah, the famous palm-tree shaped man-made island, overlooking the fronds of the island and the turquoise Arabian Sea.

Crafted by the world’s leading designers, architects, and artists, this is a destination where everything has been designed to challenge the boundaries of imagination. Be taken on a journey of the impossible, with artful masterpieces, iconic entertainment, and beautiful craftsmanship at every turn. It’s a very different aesthetic from the original Atlantis The Palm. Where The Palm is pink and regal, The Royal is more neutral and modern.
