Uber-luxe Atlantis The Royal resort in Dubai has its grand opening in late January, welcoming guests from March 2023. Billed as the world’s most ultra-luxury entertainment resort, it will contribute a distinctive façade to the city’s iconic skyline.

Atlantis The Royal highlights two different waterfront views of the Arabian Sea or Palm Island from the 48-storey-high, 795-room property’s six towers joined by a skybridge.

The striking 500m-long, 178m-high megastructure by the world’s leading designers, architects and artists reimagines modern resort architecture.
