Atlantis The Royal

Atlantis The Royal is a five-star resort on Palm Jumeirah, set along the Gulf about 1 km from Aquaventure Water Park and its monorail station. Rooms carry smart TVs, minibars and Nespresso machines, with balconies facing the gulf or the skyline; suites add butler service, separate living rooms and in some cases private pools, while Sky Pool Villas feature a private infinity pool on an expansive terrace.

The resort holds 17 restaurants, including Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Ariana's Persian Kitchen, La Mar by Gastón Acurio and Ling Ling, alongside Persian, Peruvian and Mediterranean kitchens. Facilities include outdoor pools, an infinity rooftop pool, a gym, a spa and a private beach.

It suits guests comparing high-end Palm Jumeirah resorts who want suite-level privileges (lounge access, pool and beach access across Atlantis Dubai, unlimited Aquaventure World entry) bundled into the stay.
