Atlantis The Royal — The New Icon of Modern Luxury on Palm Jumeirah
When Atlantis The Royal opened in early 2023, it was heralded as a game-changer for Dubai’s hospitality sector — not just for its scale, but for its bold architectural statement and unmatched amenities. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the hotel’s futuristic structure of interlocking blocks rising 43 stories along Palm Jumeirah’s crescent has become an instant icon.
The mega-resort features 795 rooms, suites, and signature penthouses, many with private infinity pools and expansive terraces. Interiors, created by GA Design, blend contemporary minimalism with high-gloss glamour, incorporating elements of fire, water, and air — themes central to the property’s concept.
Culinary offerings are staggering. Atlantis The Royal is home to 17 restaurants and bars, including establishments by celebrity chefs like Heston Blumenthal, Gastón Acurio, Ariana Bundy, and José Andrés. The signature venue, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, brings the acclaimed British chef’s experimental gastronomy to the Middle East for the first time. Cloud 22, the rooftop infinity pool and lounge, has become a social hotspot with panoramic views of the Dubai skyline and The Palm.
The AWAKEN Wellness Center spans multiple levels, offering personalized treatments, a cutting-edge fitness center, and a wellness program emphasizing holistic health. Guests also enjoy access to the resort’s private beach, multiple pools, and exclusive retail boutiques.
Starting at approximately AED 2,700 per night, Atlantis The Royal caters to affluent travelers seeking high-impact design, exceptional dining, and a lavish lifestyle experience. Positioned as the “ultra-luxury” sister property to Atlantis The Palm, it has quickly redefined expectations of grandeur in a city known for its bold hospitality offerings.
