Why we recommend it
Atlantis The Royal is the newer, more exclusive sibling of Atlantis The Palm, set on the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah. Its stacked, cantilevered blocks are hard to miss, and inside the focus is on spectacle: infinity pools high above the sea, a beachfront, the AWAKEN spa and Skyblaze, a fire-and-water fountain that shoots up to 28 metres. It was ranked fourth in The World's 50 Best Hotels 2026.
Accommodation ranges from guest rooms to suites and signature penthouses, with a Royal Club lounge for those on club floors. Dining is a major draw, with names including Nobu by the Beach and Milos, and guests can reach the neighbouring Aquaventure waterpark. It is a long way from the old town, so plan on taxis; it suits travellers who intend to spend most of their time at the resort.
