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.

This place isn’t a hotel its true new concept in service and overwhelming excellence, it’s an Exceptional experience from the minute they open the taxi door to saying goodbye to all the amazing and attentive staff. The welcome atmosphere in every part of the hotel was beyond any expectations. A welcome upgrade to our room on the 33rd floor also added to our privileged time spent at this world class hotel. The majesty of the hallways, shops and restaurants were just a small part of this epic new dawn in excellence. We were in total awe of just this place and it is in a league of its own. Having spent years staying at some of the most exciting and amazing hotels around the world, this takes it to an all new level altogether. Nothing compares to this and how they do it, photos attached say more than word because we are more than humbled by being able to grace its beauty. See you again soon. Cordialement Geoff and mikey.

The place is to the next level . The rooms are excellent . Faces the sea . Amenities and activities for children are great . Famous restaurants like Nobu on the beach and Michelin star Ling ling and their famous coffee place The Royal Tea room were exceptional . The best part of the hotel is their finest breakfast with cuisine from all over the world . I suggest you start at 8 am and finish noon , doing both breakfast and lunch . Never have seen 10 star breakfast like this . Read less
