ATLANTIS THE PALM

Overlooking the Arabian Gulf or across the remarkable Jumeirah Palm itself, the Atlantis resort encapsulates the spirit of progression that Dubai has forged, and the indulgent luxury that few other global destinations can match. Spread across a number of different types, the Atlantis boasts ultimate accommodation courtesy of 1,373 guest rooms and 166 opulent suites.

Needless to say, the rooms and suites are bedecked in the finest linens, and are equipped with every amenity that golf, leisure or business travellers could possible require. The Atlantis is an imposing new addition on the Dubai skyline, and with the amazing Palm stretching out below, it is a fantastic hotel for any golf holiday group.

It is difficult to describe the facilities at the Atlantis - guests will experience a 4.5 hectare purpose built dolphin habitat plus the amazing Aquaventure park, where there are endless water rides, including Ziggurat, a 30-metre near vertical ascent that takes thrill seekers through a shark infested lagoon! There is a nod to the legendary lost city with an incredible under water network of tunnels, nearly as good as exploring the ruins for real. For something more sedate, head for the enormous spa complex, whose 27 treatment rooms and amazing possibilities make it one of Dubai's very best.

The culinary landscape at the Atlantis is truly unique, with restaurants designed by world leading chefs including Michel Rostang, Giorgio Locatelli, Santi Santamaria and Matsuhisa Nobu.

The resort boasts amazing bars and cafés, plus its very own nightclub, while there is a string of exclusive boutiques for any retail therapy desires.
