Hotel Spotlight: Atlantis The Palm, Dubai

Atlantis The Palm isn’t just a hotel—it’s a destination in its own right. It’s where sandy toes meet silver service, where the wild meets the wonderful, and where unforgettable memories are made on the daily. Whether it’s your honeymoon, your annual family holiday, or just a long-overdue treat-yourself trip, this is where it all comes together. And honestly? One night turns into “maybe just one more” real quick. Don’t believe us? Check out what awaits at Atlantis the Palm, Dubai for yourself.

Let’s start with the rooms, because if you’re going to live your best holiday life, you need a serious base. Atlantis has over 1,500 rooms and suites, each one more “wait, is this my life?” than the last. Wake up to epic ocean views, chill out with a glass of something cold on your private balcony, or go all in and book an Underwater Suite, where your windows look straight into the aquarium. That’s right—you could fall asleep with fish swimming by. Talk about a deep sleep.

Now, let’s talk Aquaventure Waterpark—aka your new favourite place. It’s the biggest waterpark on the planet, and it’s right on your doorstep. Think record-breaking rides, lazy rivers, zip lines, and slides that literally shoot you through shark-filled lagoons (don’t worry—they’re on the other side of the glass).

Whether you’re a full-send thrill seeker or more of a “float and snack” kind of person, there’s something for everyone. Bonus? Hotel guests get unlimited access. You’ll be back every day. Probably all day.

Feeling a little more zen? Head to The Lost Chambers Aquarium, home to over 65,000 marine animals. It’s got all the mythical Atlantis vibes—think tunnels, arches, and tanks so big you’ll forget where the real ocean ends. You can even book a snorkelling or scuba session to get up close and personal with rays, reef sharks, and Nemo himself. Also… aquarium yoga is a thing. Yes, you can downward dog while manta rays glide by. Just saying.

Foodies, rejoice. Atlantis The Palm is a culinary playground. With over 30 restaurants and bars, it’s impossible to go hungry or bored. Craving sushi? Head to Nobu, where Michelin-starred dining meets Dubai glam. In the mood for Middle Eastern flavours? Ayamna brings the vibe and the mezze.

There’s family-friendly feasting at Wavehouse, beachy bites at WHITE Beach, and don’t miss breakfast with the rays at Ossiano for that “I can’t believe this is my life” feeling. Pro tip: wear your stretchy trousers. You’re going to need them.

Need a break from all the action? Treat yourself at the Awaken Spa, where massages, facials, and all-out pampering await. With everything from sound therapy to Moroccan hammams, you’ll float out feeling like you’ve been reborn into pure luxury.

Prefer your zen horizontal and poolside? Find your lounger at one of Atlantis’s private beaches or chilled-out infinity pools, order a smoothie (or something stronger), and just… bliss out. You’ve earned it.

If you’re bringing the little ones, Atlantis rolls out the red carpet for kids. The Atlantis Kids Club is packed with crafts, games, and high-energy fun, while teens get their own chill space at The Zone. That means more adult time for you—win-win. You can also swim with dolphins, paddleboard around the palm, and watch your kids light up at every turn. It’s a family holiday that actually feels like a holiday for everyone.

When the sun sets, Atlantis turns way up. Because this is where Dubai comes to play. From legendary brunches that hit a different beat (yes, we’re talking live DJs, flowing drinks, and food stations that never end) to the jaw-dropping Elements show at WHITE Beach, the vibe is pure main-character energy. Think fire dancers, aerial performers, and beachfront beats that’ll have you dancing under the stars. Whether you’re sipping bubbles at Saffron’s iconic 220+ dish party brunch or vibing by the pool ‘til late, Atlantis serves entertainment with extra sparkle.
