The hotel of choice for the stars, recently the glamorous cast of Made in Chelsea filmed an episode here. You’ll feel like a star too as you settle in, being pampered at the ShuiQui Spa perhaps or donning your tracksuit for a stint at the state-of-the-art fitness centre. If you’ve kids with you, point them in the direction of the Atlantis Kids Club, with something exciting on the agenda every day, they’ll thank you for it! When it comes to drinks and eats, you’re spoilt for choice. Fancy a bit of a culinary treat? Head to Nobu, the first in the Middle East, for Japanese dishes with an American influence. If somewhere more casual appeals, kick-back at Kaleidoscope, very family-friendly with sumptuous buffet fare to entice even the pickiest of eaters. Come sundown, the N'Dulge Nightclub is adults only, chilling out under a desert sky on the terrace, a cocktail in hand of course!
