Ultimate Luxury Awaits

Dine, lounge, and play like royalty at Atlantis The Royal in Dubai.

There’s only one city in the world where gold-plated toothbrushes and indoor ski resorts are considered de rigueur. Yet even by Dubai’s extremely decadent standards, Atlantis The Royal inspires awe. After all, it’s the only resort in the Middle East to snag a coveted spot on the World’s 50 Best Hotels list less than a year after it opened in 2023.

To experience Atlantis The Royal in all its splendor, a suite or a signature penthouse is the ultimate stay. Each of the three suites, ranging in size from 840 to 1,270 square feet, feature exquisite lounge and dining areas, expansive terraces, and dedicated butler service. The Sky Pool Villa suite is a preeminent choice with a private, glass infinity pool so you can “swim in the sky,” while a grand dining table on the terrace invites beautiful al fresco entertaining.

Each of the five signature penthouses overflow in opulence with sprawling outdoor terraces and private infinity pools that provide 360-degree views of Dubai’s twinkling skyline. The real jewel of the crown is the spectacular four-bedroom Royal Mansion, which spans almost 12,000 square feet across two levels. Those lucky enough to stay here are welcomed by 100-year-old olive trees in the private foyer—accessed by an elevator reserved solely for your use. There’s also a home cinema room, a Louis Vuitton ping-pong table, and perks galore, including in-residence bespoke dinner prepared by your chef of choice from the resort’s 11 restaurants. Dining experiences include the Michelin-starred Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, as well as Jaleo by José Andrés, and Nobu by the Beach, the world’s first pool and beach club by the iconic Japanese restaurant brand.

While the accommodations and dining are extraordinary, Atlantis The Royal also redefines fun with an over-the-top collection of water-themed activities. Aquaventure is considered the world’s largest waterpark, complete with more than 100 adrenaline-inducing waterslides, 90 swimming pools, and scuba and snorkeling excursions where you can swim with some 65,000 marine animals—sharks included.

And don’t forget the 32,000 square feet of dedicated wellness at the holistic Awaken Spa, designed with a halotherapy salt cave, snow fountain, charcoal sauna, and more. As for treatments, essential ingredients include oud (known as “wood of the gods”), dates, desert sand, Gulf Sea salt, and even 24-karat-gold.
