The resort has 17 bars and restaurants with different themes and cuisines, and covers everything from fine to family dining – there are even four Michelin starred chef restaurants.

And it is also home to one of the largest open-air marine habitats in the world, with some 65,000 marine animals in lagoons and displays including The Lost Chambers, a maze of underwater corridors and passageways providing a journey through ancient Atlantis.

Along with the 17 hectares of water amusement park – featuring the highest free-fall waterside in the region and the near 30 metre Leap of Faith through a shark-filled lagoon, as well as the more sedate 700 metre beach with sun loungers – Atlantis The Palm is a destination for all ages.

And if you’re after some retail therapy there’s an impressive collection of luxury boutiques and shops.
