Atlantis, The Palm, globally recognized by just its shape, is located at the center of the Palm Jumeirah, an artificial island designed in the form of a palm.

Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai, first opened in September 2008. The iconic marine-themed family resort features Aquaventure, the world’s largest waterpark, home to over 65,000 marine life with over 100 amazing waterslides and attractions.

The Palm is also home to many luxury shops and an amazing venue for meetings and conventions. The Palm has become a well-known destination for foodies, boasting an impressive number of 29 world-renowned culinary options.

The luxurious new Atlantis The Royal is an astonishing property with 795-rooms located right next to the Palm and Aquaventure Waterpark, to which all Atlantis guests of both resorts are given free access.

The first time I saw the unique architecture of The Royal’s impressive forty-three stories, it reminded me of a structure constructed of gold Jenga building blocks shimmering under the moonlight.

The Royal guests have breathtaking views of the entire island. The Royal has everything you could desire in luxury boutiques, unique culinary options and numerous bars. The Royal is home to seventeen world-class restaurants with multiple celebrity chefs who have won twenty-two nominations across Gault & Millau and Michelin during 2023.

Three Atlantis Dubai restaurants were awarded stars in Dubai’s Michelin Guide.

Kyp Charalambous, Vice President of Sales at Atlantis Dubai, shared the importance of travel agents and that 85 percent of guests are first-time clients, with most being booked through a travel agent.

Charalambous stated that the support and business from travel advisors are critical to their future. For that reason, his team created an easy-to-use platform for travel agents; the site has helpful facts, maps and tips designed to help with guest education.

Stay tuned for more exciting news as Atlantis Dubai plans to expand in the next decade. Both Atlantis, The Palm and Atlantis The Royal, will continue to add to their resorts, while the Aqauaventure water park will expand with a theme park. The land between the two resorts will be used to merge them into one fantastic destination, the center of world luxury.
