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.

Dining credit can only be used in certain restaurants and NOT in Gastronomy as previously allowed! I booked my holiday via love holidays and was super excited to stay at this amazing hotel . Everything about it is beautiful and awesome. Service, food, rooms , pools the entire experience blows your mind. After visiting last year and having eaten at Gastronomy, I was keen to return. I purchased a dining credit that I thought I could use at any of the onsite restaurants but NO you can only use it in certain restaurant outlets at Atlantis the Royal Kindly note that this is only applicable for Half Board Bookings A Taste of The World Supplement Elevate your stay at the world’s newest icon with daily dinner experience. Whether it is a Greek experience at Milos with spell binding views or a daring night out at Ling Ling, enjoy flavours from around the world at this top culinary destination at Atlantis The Royal. - The dinner credit is applicable only in La Mar, Dinner by Heston, Jaleo, Ling Ling, Ariana's Persian Kitchen, Malibu, Gastronomy, Milos and Nobu by the Beach restaurant and can be redeemed during dinner meal period and on food only - The dinner credit expires daily and cannot be taken over to the next day - The dinner credit cannot be converted into cash and if not fully utilized, the remaining amount is non-refundable. - Black-out dates apply from 23 December 2024 – 02 January 2025 Adult Taste of the World daily dinner credit of AED 325 per adult and AED 162٫50 per child. Had I been given this information at the time of booking by my travel agent I would not have booked half board. So very disappointed that if I want to dine at Gastronomy, I will have to pay the full price and not be able to use my dining credit Read less

Çok sevdiğimiz bir oteldi, ama bu sabah kahvaltıya hazırlanırken otelin duvarına bir parça üzerime düştü, daha dikkatli olmalısınız, bunun dışında her şeyi ücretli çocuklu aileler için, hatta otel misafirleri için bile uygun bulamadım.

It was a hotel that we liked very much, but while I was preparing for breakfast this morning, a piece fell on me on the wall of the hotel, you had to be more careful, apart from that, I didn't find everything suitable for families with paid children, even for hotel guests.

Nobu beach is a dream to chill at. View from Cloud22 is …well, quite Instagram friendly 😊 i want to give special thanks to Snezana from the Royal team for making our experience…absolutely amazing ☺️ She ensured to welcome us and explain all in details and managed to help us with all the reservations and she surprised us in the room with the arrival amenities. On top of that she visited us during the breakfast and made special personalized coffee for us, so we really don’t have words to express our gratitude ..she is a rockstar 😁 Big YES to Royal Team with the Leader Snezana. We really felt special at Royal and can't wait to come back again. Read less
