About Atlantis The Royal Dubai
Atlantis The Royal is a luxury resort on Palm Jumeirah’s outer crescent. Alongside accommodation, it offers dining, wellness and beach experiences. The wider Atlantis destination includes Aquaventure World and the Lost World Aquarium. Plan ahead for popular restaurants, pool clubs and activities with age or booking rules.
Think of the resort as a destination, not just a base between city sightseeing. The hotel currently lists daily breakfast, complimentary Aquaventure Waterpark access and Lost World Aquarium access with every stay, as well as access to Atlantis Explorers Club. Confirm the details for your dates and room before paying.
Location and how to reach the hotel
The address is Atlantis The Royal, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE, on Crescent Road at the Palm’s outer crescent. A taxi or ride-hailing car can take you to the resort; ask the hotel about transfer options when booking. Confirm the drop-off point if you have luggage or are heading to a specific venue.
For public transport, Visit Dubai outlines Metro to DMCC or Dubai Marina, then the tram to Palm Jumeirah, a walk to Palm Gateway and the Palm Monorail to destinations including Aquaventure World. Since the monorail stop is not the hotel lobby, confirm the last leg with the resort before travelling.Â

Who should stay at this hotel?
Based on its listed rooms and resort facilities, Atlantis The Royal can suit families looking for a Family Room, children’s facilities and Aquaventure access. Couples may enjoy the beach, pool, wellness treatments and dining choices. Food-focused visitors have a broad range of on-site venues, while a slower trip can centre on the pool, beach and spa.
It can suit business visitors who want a resort setting or have meetings nearby. For daily trips to central business districts or historic Dubai, compare journey times with a more central hotel. The Palm location works particularly well for a beach-focused itinerary.
Nearby attractions
Aquaventure World and the Lost World Aquarium are the closest major attractions, with access listed as part of every stay. Elsewhere on Palm Jumeirah, visitors can go to The View at The Palm, Palm Jumeirah Mall, Palm West Beach and the Palm Jumeirah Boardwalk. These destinations are spread across the island, so plan transport rather than assuming each is walkable.
The View at The Palm is an observation deck on Level 52 of The Palm Tower, with views over the island and Arabian Gulf. Direct access to Palm Jumeirah Mall makes it easy to add shopping and dining to the visit.
