About Atlantis The Royal

This architectural stunner on Palm Jumeirah isn't just a hotel - it's Dubai's newest landmark where water slides meet Michelin stars. Since opening in 2023, its interconnected towers have become the backdrop for Instagram's most jaw-dropping travel shots.

Why It Wows Even Dubai Veterans:

  • Pools in the Sky: Book a Sky Pool Villa where your private infinity edge seems to pour directly into the Arabian Gulf 22 floors below
  • Chef Royal Rumble: 17 restaurants battle for your attention, from Heston Blumenthal's "dinner as theater" to a Nobu with its own pearl-diving experience
  • The 90-Meter High Club: Cloud 22's daytime parties feature champagne rain showers and DJs spinning atop a glass-bottomed pool
  • Dry Scuba: The Ambassador Lagoon lets you manta-ray-watch while sipping cocktails - no wetsuit required

Architecture That Dares:

  • The 46m sky bridge has glass floors revealing dizzying Palm Jumeirah views
  • Nightly "Fire & Water" shows light up the facade with 1,200 synchronized flames
  • Every lobby smells like a custom-blended "Desert Ocean" scent

Local's Secret: The hidden "Royal Horizon Pool" offers Dubai's only dual view of both Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab at sunset. Order the Gold Flake Martini - it comes with actual edible gold.

Fun Facts

The 2023 launch party cost over $100 million - enough to buy a private island. Highlights included a 500-drone light show, a waterfall of actual fire, and Beyoncé performing atop a floating platform.

The hotel’s Cloud 22 infinity pool isn’t just for swimming. Every afternoon, staff spray Dom Pérignon into the air above guests—so you can literally bathe in bubbly. (Yes, you get to drink it too.)

History

The Story of Atlantis The Royal goes back to the 2000s, when Dubai was turbocharging its tourism game. After the massive success of Atlantis, The Palm in 2008, it was clear the city needed something even more mind-blowing. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's ruler, had one mission: create a place that would lure the global elite and redefine luxury forever.

The project went to legendary architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates—the geniuses behind some of the world's most iconic skyscrapers. The location? Palm Jumeirah, that insane artificial island that was already an engineering marvel. Construction took over 8 years and cost a staggering $1.4 billion. Every detail was obsessively perfected, from the building's futuristic curves to its interiors designed by the world's top talent. The hotel finally opened its doors in 2023, and it was anything but quiet.

When Dubai does an opening, it goes all out. Atlantis The Royal launched in January 2023 with a celebrity-packed extravaganza. The showstopper? A private Beyoncé concert rumored to cost $24 million. Fireworks lit up the sky, A-listers partied like there was no tomorrow, and the whole world watched in awe. Because in Dubai, luxury isn't just a standard—it's a spectacle.
