Luxury Rhapsody

Embark on a whirlwind of adventure and luxury at Atlantis The Palm, where every moment dazzles

- VARUNI MOHAN

Nestled on the crescent of Dubai's iconic Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis, The Palm is an architectural marvel. Spanning an impressive 209,563 sq m, it was the first entertainment destination of its kind in the region when it opened its doors in September 2008. Designed by Wimberly, Tong and Goo, with interiors by Wilson and Associates, this resort brings the legendary lost city of Atlantis to life with its sun-kissed spires, Moorish archways, and palm-shaped pillars. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by an enchanting mix of traditional Middle Eastern architecture and contemporary luxury, with hand-wrought iron columns shaped like flowers, leaves, and buds, whimsical seahorse light fixtures, and blown glass shells adorning the walls. The lobby, with its soaring 19-metre-high ceilings, features vibrant murals by Albino González that tell captivating ancient mythological tales of Atlantis.

For all those who vouch for quick check-ins, we have got news. Give yourself enough time to soak in the dramatic lobby, at the centre of which stands a breathtaking 10-metre-high glass sculpture by our all-time favourite, American artist, Dale Chihuly. It's like walking into the blazing sun - where over 3,000 vividly coloured glass squigglies burst with life.
