As soon as you step into Atlantis The Palm, you’ll quickly realize one thing: This place does not do subtle.

The grand entrance alone is a statement, with soaring 19-meter-high ceilings, jaw-dropping hand-blown glass sculptures, and intricate ocean-inspired mosaics that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a modern-day palace built by Poseidon himself.

The moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted by The Chihuly Sculpture, a 10-meter-tall explosion of vibrant glass tendrils, glowing like a coral reef on fire—a true showstopper in the heart of the lobby. Around you, the space shimmers with golden seashells, pearl inlays, and marble floors so polished they practically sparkle.

And then, there’s the energy. It’s the kind of place where you can feel the excitement humming in the air—guests dressed to the nines sipping champagne at the lobby bar, families gazing up in awe, and VIPs slipping past velvet ropes into private lounges.

Every step deeper into Atlantis hints at the extravagance ahead—from the palm-lined corridors leading to Michelin-starred restaurants to the distant sounds of splashing waves from the world’s biggest waterpark. One thing’s for sure: once you’ve arrived at Atlantis, you’ve officially entered a world where luxury is the only standard.

When it comes to room accommodations, Atlantis does not do standard. Even the most basic rooms come with plush king-sized beds, luxe interiors, and balconies boasting jaw-dropping views of either the Arabian Gulf or the glittering Dubai skyline.

Want to level up? The Ocean & Palm View Rooms let you wake up to postcard-perfect scenery, while Imperial Club Rooms unlock VIP perks like an exclusive lounge, complimentary gourmet bites, free-flowing drinks, and a private beach. But if you're in full “go big or go home” mode, Atlantis’ signature suites are pure fantasy.

The Underwater Suites (yep, actually underwater) give you floor-to-ceiling views of 65,000 marine creatures gliding past your bedroom and bathroom—plus, a private elevator and a 24-hour butler.

Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis is the biggest, wildest, most over-the-top waterpark on the planet, and it does not play around when it comes to adrenaline-pumping thrills.

First up: The Leap of Faith—a near-vertical, 9-story drop that launches you through a clear tube inside a shark-filled lagoon (because, obviously, Atlantis believes every waterslide should come with a side of heart-pounding terror).

Think that’s intense? Than try Odyssey of Terror, the world’s tallest waterslide, takes it a step further with a gravity-defying free-fall that literally lifts you off the slide before plunging you down at lightning speed. And if you're ready to hang ten, the Wave Rider surf simulator lets you test your skills on high-speed artificial waves—perfect for pretending you’re a pro until the inevitable wipeout.

But Aquaventure isn’t just about extreme thrills—it's got plenty of splashy fun for everyone. The Lazy River here isn’t just a slow float; it’s a mile-long adventure packed with waves, waterfalls, and unexpected rapids that keep you guessing. Kids (and kids at heart) can race down twisting tube slides, conquer giant tipping buckets, or get up close with rays and sharks at the Shark Lagoon experience.

And if you’d rather soak up the sun in VIP style, book a private cabana with butler service—so while others are braving the slides, you can sip cocktails poolside, snack on gourmet bites, and live your best luxe vacation life.
