"Positioned alongside its famous sister on Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis the Royal goes big by design: its 795 rooms, 17 restaurants and bars, 1.2-mile beach, and 90 pools deliver an ultra-luxury, experiential resort where light bounces off vast marble surfaces and massive fish tanks. Inside the rooms I found calmer, minimalist décor that accentuates views—especially from Palm-facing balconies—while suites and penthouses push the spectacle further with landscaped terraces and glass-walled pools." - Laura Ratliff
"An ultra-luxury resort that garnered global attention at opening and offers multiple high-end experiences even to non-guests, including restaurants helmed by celebrity chefs, sky-high pools and clubs with panoramic skyline views, and access to a massive water park via day passes." - Latifah Al-Hazza Latifah Al-Hazza Latifah Al-Hazza is a Chicago-based travel journalist, documentary filmmaker, and co-founder of Femscape Sojourns, a boutique women's travel company.

"A large, glamour-forward resort on the outer Palm that mixes show-stopping spectacle with surprising pockets of calm: the vast property features high-profile dining from internationally renowned chefs, a world-first beach club, sky-high vantage points such as the Cloud 22 pool, and an elegant Royal Tearoom for people-watching. The resort’s dramatic, entertainment-minded side is on display in hourly fountain-and-light extravaganzas, yet plenty of secluded corners and landscaped spaces allow for quieter relaxation." - Nicola Chilton
