Atlantis The Palm....

Yes, this is what you think of when you hear the word, ‘Dubai'; that magical palm-shaped island in the middle of the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf. Atlantis The Palm, located at the crescent of Palm Island, Jumeirah, is only minutes from the Village Centre at the tip of the Palm and is a masterpiece of artwork, detail and design. Atlantis The Palm is a genuine peak of holiday pleasure.

The hotel interior mirrors the spirit of Atlantis; an aquatic palace with shades of azure, sapphire and sky blue, accented with seashell and sea-life detail. True to its name, this hotel conjures up images of mystery, ingenuity and adventure beyond the wildest imagination, making guests feel as if they're exploring the ancient lost ruins of a fascinating undersea city. Every detail is delicious.

Food:
From fine, to fun, to family dining; from celebrity chefs to poolside snacks; from indoor dining to al fresco – Atlantis has everything. There are 17 restaurants, bars and lounges to suit every taste. The world-renowned Nobu is one of the big names, but don't forget to book your table at Locatelli's, the fashionably fun Italian restaurant with super-star Italian chef at the helm. Sea Fire is a sumptuous steakhouse with open fires and terracotta hues, while authentic Arabian dishes are served within the theatrical setting of Levantine – a colourful experience with nightly entertainment.

Fun:
When describing the adventure options at this resort, fun is a feeble description. Aquaventure is the Palm's 42 acres of water-themed amusement; an experience of breathtaking proportions, ideal for team building and group events. Experience Leap of Faith, a 27,5m near-vertical drop culminating in a slide through a shark-filled tank. There are also thrilling downhill rides and uphill coasters, like a 2km wave river with metre-high waves, so take your pick of adrenaline. And for those who are tamer at heart, explore Dolphin Bay, a special attraction at Atlantis the Palm, where visitors can learn about and photograph these friendly and fascinating mammals, with the help of a host of marine specialists.
