We are excited to begin welcoming guests next year and treat them to an experience they'll never forget."

Featuring 180-degree views of the glittering Dubai skyline, guests can expect a culturally rich, multi-sensory, dining and late-night party experience.
Entertainment & Nightlife
The six towers that makeup Atlantis The Royal are brought together by a 90-metre-long Skypool on the 22nd floor, which forms part of an outdoor entertainment experience called Cloud 22. Featuring VIP cabanas with private plunge pools, a swim up-bar and a glittering head-shaped DJ booth, this venue is the jewel in Atlantis The Royal's crown. Set to become the iconic entertainment and nightlife destination in Dubai, revellers can dance away the day, into the night to the world's best DJs whilst overlooking the glittering Dubai skyline.
Atlantis The Royal will also be home to Heston Blumenthal's inaugural cocktail bar, which is set to feature a 6.5m high jellyfish aquarium, housing 4,000 moon jellies. Titled Resonance by Heston Blumenthal, this entirely new and unique concept will offer memorable culinary experiences through considered, meticulously crafted and complex cocktails, food, and purposeful theatre.
The resort is home to a vast array of fountains and water installations designed by the world's authority on water features, WET Design. This includes the magnificent Skyblaze; a fountain that breathes fire and the first and only permanent fire and water performance fountain in the Middle East.
Before opening to guests, Atlantis The Royal will hold a spectacular Grand Reveal in January with a star-studded lineup in attendance and an event that promises to match the ambition of the new resort.
