Set to open in a matter of weeks, Atlantis the Royal is a new mega-resort in Dubai complete with floating pool, 2km of private beach and theatrical restaurant-bar concept by Heston Blumenthal.

With its eye-catching stack-like architecture, Atlantis the Royal is a new landmark on Dubai’s Palm, a hotel of extreme luxury in a city already renowned for opulence and excess. It describes itself as “the most ultra-luxury experiential resort in the world”.

Now open for bookings for stays from 2023 onwards, the 43-storey hotel will host a show-stopping “Grand Reveal” in January with a star-studded line up in attendance.
