Few hotels in the world can redefine luxury the way Atlantis The Royal Dubai has. As the newest ultra-luxury resort in Dubai, it’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience filled with grandeur, exclusivity, and moments that feel straight out of a dream. From VIP treatment to world-class dining and an unforgettable performance by Beyoncé, here’s what it’s like to visit this breathtaking destination.
A Grand Arrival: VIP Treatment from the Start
The experience began before even setting foot in the hotel. A sleek Mercedes whisked us away from the airport, setting the tone for a weekend of pure indulgence. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Atlantis The Royal wasn’t just any five-star resort—it was designed to be in a league of its own.
When checking into the hotel, it felt like stepping into a futuristic paradise. We were among the first guests ever to stay in these stunning rooms, a fact that only heightened the magic. Every inch of the suite was designed to impress, from the gold-plated toiletries to the ultra-modern decor. Even the bathtub had a plush built-in pillow—because why settle for anything less than perfection?
Luxury at Every Turn: Dining, Shopping & Ultimate Comfort
No luxury hotel experience is complete without indulgent dining, and Atlantis The Royal went above and beyond. The resort features world-class restaurants, offering everything from fine dining to handcrafted cocktails brought straight to our table. Every dish was artfully presented, and by the end of the night, we had sampled some of the best cuisine Dubai has to offer.
One small hiccup? A missing suitcase. But even that turned into an adventure, as a spontaneous shopping trip led to a stunning Zara find that perfectly matched the evening’s theme. Sometimes, unexpected moments create the best memories.
Walking the Blue Carpet & A Night with Beyoncé
One of the most surreal parts of the weekend was walking the blue carpet (yes, not red!) alongside celebrities and influencers from around the world. The excitement was electric—cameras flashed, interviews buzzed around us, and the energy was unmatched.
Then came the highlight of the night: Beyoncé’s exclusive performance. Standing just meters away, we watched in awe as she delivered an unforgettable show. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better—fireworks erupted over the Dubai skyline, turning the night into a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.
The Ultimate Rooftop Infinity Pool & Farewell to a Dream Stay
Then to cap off our stay, we headed up to the 22nd-floor infinity pool, an experience that felt like floating above Dubai. The views stretched endlessly, and the ambiance was pure relaxation.
Before checking out, we dined at Ariana’s restaurant, where the celebrity chef herself greeted us. The food? As impeccable as the service. Every small detail at Atlantis The Royal was carefully curated to ensure guests felt like royalty.
As we packed our bags (including those luxurious gold-plated toiletries we were tempted to take), we couldn’t help but reflect on the unforgettable weekend. Atlantis The Royal Dubai isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience, a statement, and a glimpse into the future of ultra-luxury travel.
