Guests checking into the underwater suites at Atlantis, The Palm can wake up to the sight of sharks swimming just inches from their beds. The hotel rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows that look straight into the ocean. The resort’s massive central aquarium awaits, providing a morning view of thousands of marine animals.
The concept dates back to the early 2000s, while the Palm was still under construction. Developers aimed to build a resort that would serve as a recognizable icon and a symbol of the city’s broader ambitions. To achieve this, they focused heavily on the legend of the lost city of Atlantis, designing the property around the idea of a mysterious underwater world.
The Lost Chambers and Aquaventure
The Lost Chambers aquarium is the marine habitat visible from the suites. The facility holds more than 65,000 marine animals. The viewing experience is not restricted entirely to overnight guests staying in the specialized suites. The resort also maintains public areas where daily visitors can catch a glimpse of the underwater environment.
In addition to the aquarium, the property houses Aquaventure, recognized as one of the largest water parks in the world. The inclusion of these large-scale entertainment facilities within the accommodation has turned the hotel into a multi-purpose destination. The property is now a collection of major tourist attractions in a single complex.
