Dubai’s Iconic Ocean-Themed Destination Resort on Palm Jumeirah
Atlantis, The Palm is one of the most recognisable hotels in the world, a sprawling 46-hectare five-star destination resort sitting at the crescent of Palm Jumeirah, overlooking the Arabian Gulf on one side and the glittering Dubai skyline on the other.
Rated 4.5 out of 5 on Google with thousands of reviews and a consistent TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice winner, the resort is home to more Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere else in the Middle East, 1.5 km of private sandy beach, and complimentary access to Aquaventure World, the largest water park on the planet. It is as much a city within a city as it is a hotel, offering an almost overwhelming breadth of experiences across dining, entertainment, wellness, marine life, and family activities, all under one roof.
The resort has 1,544 rooms across two towers, East and West, connected by the iconic Royal Bridge Suite. The hotel rooms include Guest Room and Imperial Club Rooms, Suites, Signature Suites, and famous Underwater Suites which boast floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the Ambassador Lagoon, which houses more than 65,000 marine species.
More than 90% of the rooms are interconnecting, making Atlantis one of the most family-oriented luxury hotels in the region. Every hotel room has a balcony, satellite TV, facilities for tea and coffee, minibar, safety deposit box, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, free Wi-Fi and 24-hour room service. Guests in Imperial Club rooms enjoy access to the exclusive Imperial Club Lounge, which offers a dedicated concierge, continental breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails and canapes. Twenty-two accessible guest rooms are available throughout the resort.
Atlantis is home to 36 restaurants, bars, and lounges, featuring some of the biggest names in world dining. Nobu, by legendary chef Nobu Matsuhisa, brings his acclaimed Japanese-Peruvian cuisine to the resort. Hakkasan is a Michelin-starred contemporary Cantonese restaurant.
