Atlantis The Royal

Dubai Beach, Dubai

Virgin rating

The hotel

The new iconic landmark in Dubai is here, and it’s unlike any other hotel you’ve seen before. If you thought Atlantis, The Palm was impressive (and we agree it is!), then this addition to the Atlantis portfolio will redefine your perspective of luxury and innovation. Atlantis The Royal is where impossible becomes possible, and luxury mixes with experience, challenging the boundaries of imagination. It’s all about space, natural sunlight and feeling like you can quite literally reach the clouds. Speaking of clouds, Cloud 22 brings you a rooftop pool club that’s on another level, literally! Book a private cabana with your own plunge pool, and enjoy an exquisite cocktail with even better views as the sun moves across the horizon and the music goes up a notch. The alluring design of the hotel ensures complete privacy in all room types, 44 of which are available with private infinity pools. On arrival, the magnificent lobby is designed around the 4 natural elements, as you’re welcomed by Droplets, the towering lobby sculpture inspired by the first drop of rain in the desert. And whilst the hotel is full of striking features, bespoke artwork, and large aquariums, it’s the little touches that will also take your breath away. Your bed will be separated from the bathroom by a glass wall that frosts over at a single touch. From your balcony the views across The Palm and Dubai’s skyline are exquisite, but ultimately you won’t need to venture that far with the endless lists of fun, food and frolics on offer here! 17 restaurants each tell their own story, AWAKEN Wellness will have you revitalised in no time, and the nightlife will have you dancing until the early hours. From fountain shows to fire shows, one of the largest jellyfish tanks you’ll ever see, and waterslides galore, Atlantis The Royal is the place where something incredible happens at every minute.

The reason Atlantis The Royal is so outstanding is the sheer attention to customer experience and quality of everything you interact with as a guest . Amazing choice of dining options from world class chefs , an amazing chilled out beach club at Nobu by the Beach and cabanas at infinity sky pool Cloud 22 . We did them all . Luxury shopping was wonderful with LV and Valentino amongst others . However , what was most impressive was the sheer enthusiasm of quite junior staff to interact and display their professionalism. Shout outs to Rania at Nobu by the Beach and the lovely young ladies Supalak and Shy at Elements. They really made us feel welcome and appreciated. It’s amazing that these young people can grow and flourish with a world class brand that takes so much care of clients and staff . Atlantis The Royal , your future is in good hands . Read less

Luxury at its finest! We recently checked out of Atlantis the Royal and we just wanted to say a special thank you to Yassin and Nick from Nobu by the Beach. Their customer service skills and dedication to hard work are truly first class. We had the most wonderful time thanks to them and we can’t wait to visit again!
