Atlantis The Royal Dubai redefines luxury with its groundbreaking design, a bold departure from the traditional sculptural towers that define Dubai’s skyline.

Situated in a peaceful location on the crescent of Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis The Royal enjoys a prime location with stunning views of the Arabian Sea from one side of the hotel and Dubai’s iconic skyscrapers on the Palm-facing side of the hotel. Guests are just steps away from the world’s largest waterpark, Aquaventure, and can easily access world-class shopping malls, entertainment venues, and cultural attractions, while Dubai International Airport is a convenient 35 minutes away.

Its groundbreaking architectural design—a mix of avant-garde and futuristic elements—sets it apart from traditional luxury hotels. The structure rises 43 stories high, combining luxurious interiors with a dynamic sense of space and light. Sculptural art pieces, water-meets-fire features like the Skyblaze Fountain, and one of the largest jellyfish tanks in the world (with over 4,000 jellyfish!) further elevate the sense of wonder. Every corner of the hotel is designed to inspire awe and take your breath away, including the Willy Wonka style glass lifts with shafts apparently cascading with water.
Service & Facilities
