One resort, a full day out
Atlantis The Palm sits at the top of the crescent on Palm Jumeirah. It opened in 2008 and is one of the best known resorts in Dubai, easy to spot from the road by its two towers joined by a large arch.
You do not have to stay overnight. Most day visitors come for Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium, and add a dolphin or sea lion session if they are travelling with children.
We book the tickets you choose and drive you there and back, so you can spend the day at the resort without sorting out the logistics.

What you can do at Atlantis
Pick one attraction or combine several. Each one is ticketed separately.
Aquaventure Waterpark
Record-setting slides, the Torrent River and a private beach. This is the main reason families spend a full day here. See the full waterpark guide.
The Lost Chambers Aquarium
Walk through halls and tunnels among tens of thousands of fish, rays and sharks, built around the story of the lost city.
Dolphin Bay
Meet bottlenose dolphins in a supervised lagoon. Encounters are booked by time slot and have age and height rules.
Sea Lion Point
Shallow-water sessions with sea lions, led by trainers. A good fit for younger children and first-time visitors.
Restaurants and bars
From Japanese dining to an underwater-view restaurant, there are plenty of places for lunch or an evening meal.
Private beach
A long stretch of sand with sunbeds and calm water. Beach access depends on your ticket or hotel booking.

Good to know before you go
Book each attraction separately
Aquaventure, the aquarium and each animal encounter are separate tickets. Tell us what you want and we quote them together.
Height and age rules
Major thrill slides need 1.2 m. Animal encounters have their own age and height limits, which we check for you.
What to wear
Swimwear for the waterpark and beach, and comfortable shoes for walking between attractions. Denim and loose fabric are not allowed on slides.
Best time to go
October to April is the most comfortable. In summer, go at opening and plan indoor time at the aquarium in the afternoon.
Allow time to walk
The resort is large. Plan 10 to 15 minutes between the waterpark and the aquarium.
Food and belongings
Outside food and drinks are not allowed in the waterpark. Lockers cost extra, so bring a small bag only.
