Even by Dubai’s standards the building that’s home to Atlantis The Royal is a spectacular one, an architectural statement piece set along the beach...
“The resort has settled into being a surprisingly sophisticated and relaxed spot, with excellent restaurants like Gastón Acurio’s La Mar and Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Positioned along the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, the property borders two kilometers of private sand looking toward the Dubai skyline.
The rooms
Selected Sky Pool Villas feature private outdoor infinity plunge pools, while standard rooms offer smart privacy glass and private balconies.
The pools and spa
Bring a swimsuit.
The ninety-meter Cloud 22 infinity pool spans the skybridge, and AWAKEN Spa adds dark hydrotherapy circuit pools.
The hammam and sauna
A circular marble plinth sits beneath arched niches in the hammam, beside a dark, underlit charcoal sauna.
At the table
Seventeen restaurants and bars include Michelin-starred Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and terrace lounges facing the fire fountains.
Six towers make up the 1,640-foot-long curved building, and all of them connect with a nearly 300-foot sky bridge.
How it began
Designed as stacked permeable blocks connected by a ninety-meter skybridge, the structure reinterprets traditional towers with suspended terraces and vertical gardens.
“Contrasting with the hotel's opulence, the guest rooms exude minimalist elegance with neutral tones, maximising the expansive sea views from its unique structure.”
