Atlantis - The Palm
Insider Tips
Dubai's original mega-resort — now with the Royal Tower alongside the original. Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium are the family draws. The celebrity restaurant lineup is extensive. Noisy and busy by design — if you want quiet luxury look elsewhere. Book the Terrace Club rooms for private beach area access.
Insider tip
Description
Atlantis is less a hotel and more a sprawling water-park-meets-resort that justifies the premium if you've got kids or want to play in their aquariums and slides without leaving the premises. The location on Palm Jumeirah feels removed from the city hustle, but you're paying heavily for the novelty factor and facilities rather than cutting-edge design—it's dated in parts despite the recent renovations.
