About this hotel
Atlantis The Royal is an iconic resort on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah, a sprawling waterfront property that opened in early 2024. The resort anchors the island's latest phase of development with significant aquatic attractions, restaurants, and retail integrated into its design. Guest rooms number in the hundreds, and the property spans multiple towers overlooking either the Arabian Gulf or the resort's internal lagoon systems. External validation is consistent and notable. The hotel holds Forbes Five-Star status (2024 and 2026), appears on the World's 50 Best Hotels list (2026), and has earned World Travel Awards' Leading Iconic Resort distinction for 2024 and 2025. On Google, it maintains a 4.7 rating across more than 7,100 reviews; TripAdvisor shows 4.8 stars from over 2,100 guests. These signals point to strong satisfaction among travellers seeking a high-end resort experience with distinctive Dubai character. The resort draws international visitors, families, and couples who want immersive on-site amenities and the novelty of Palm Jumeirah's setting.
