With 584-foot-tall stacks of larger-than-life blocks soaring over Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis The Royal instantly cemented its status as a Dubai icon when it debuted in 2023. It didn’t hurt that Atlantis The Royal enlisted Beyoncé for a much-talked-about private performance as part of the year’s splashiest hotel grand opening.
But the resort goes over the top on everything. Inside the smooth white marble interiors, choose among 17 restaurants from top-tier chefs like Heston Blumenthal and José Andrés along with five nightlife venues. More than 90 swimming pools dot the grounds. The property boasts over a mile of beachfront, the largest privately owned stretch of sand in Dubai. It also hosts the world’s largest jellyfish aquarium.
In addition, a stay grants you entry to nearby sister property Atlantis, The Palm’s Aquaventure — which holds the titles of the world’s largest waterpark and the waterpark with the most waterslides (50) — and Lost Chambers Aquarium. And the 795 lavish accommodations all come with gold-plated toothbrushes and razors in the bathrooms. Atlantis The Royal aims to treat every guest like a king or queen.
