Each hotel room is tastefully furnished and equipped with every imaginable luxury, offering panoramic views of the sea and/or the Palm island. A stay at the Atlantis The Palm hotel in Dubai is not cheap, but it is certainly an experience you won’t soon forget!
Visiting the Atlantis hotel
The Atlantis hotel holds great appeal for tourists visiting Dubai due to its extreme luxury, unique interior, and of course, the pools and aquariums. Unfortunately, a large part of the hotel, including the pools, is only accessible to guests. Each guest receives their own wristband, which must be scanned to gain access to the areas reserved for guests only.
But don’t worry, as a non-guest, you can still admire some of the unique interior, the shopping arcade, and the beautiful lobby of the hotel for free. Even a small part of the aquariums is accessible for non-guests free of charge. If you want to see all the aquariums or swim in the Aquaventure water park, you will need to purchase a separate ticket.
Want to see more of the hotel but not staying overnight? You can also pre-book a table at one of the hotel’s restaurants. This will grant you access to areas where non-guests are normally not permitted.
Taking Photos of Atlantis
Want to capture beautiful photos of the Atlantis hotel? The best vantage points are from the Boardwalk boulevard opposite the hotel on the edge of the Palm Jumeirah island. You can also take stunning photos of the Atlantis hotel from across at The Pointe shopping mall. You can get there by getting off at The Pointe monorail stop. Alternatively, you can take a cruise around the Palm Jumeirah island, where you’ll have a panoramic view of the Atlantis hotel from the water.

Lost Chambers aquarium
In the hotel, you can not only stay overnight, but also find many aquariums on the ground floor. Part of this can be visited for free, even for non-guests of the hotel. Most of the aquariums, known as The Lost Chambers, can only be visited for a fee, hotel guests do not have to pay to see The Lost Chambers.
The aquarium of The Lost Chambers is slightly smaller in size than the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo in the Dubai Mall but is definitely worth a visit. Simply because of the mythological atmosphere of Atlantis that permeates the aquarium and the stunning design and decoration in and around the aquariums.
As the name of the hotel suggests, the Atlantis hotel and The Lost Chambers aquarium are based on the legend of the sunken city of Atlantis. In keeping with the mythological Atlantis theme, the aquarium is laid out as a series of tunnels and mazes. So you are constantly exploring an underwater world where thousands of wonderful sea creatures swim around.
The Lost Chambers consists of over 20 different aquariums where more than 65,000 fascinating sea creatures swim around the remains of the legendary city of Atlantis. In the aquariums, you can admire various types of sharks, lobsters, rays, octopuses, jellyfish, seahorses, and piranhas among the ruins of the sunken city. If you’re lucky, you can even feed the animals with one of the caretakers. For those who like to get very close to the sea creatures, there is the “touch tank” where you can touch various fish and sea creatures to feel how these special sea creatures feel.

Where is Atlantis The Palm hotel and how do you get there?
The Atlantis The Palm hotel is located on the Palm Jumeirah island off the coast of Dubai. The hotel is easily accessible by car or taxi thanks to the main road on the palm island and the underground tunnel that runs from the stem of the island to the arch around the island.
If you want to visit the Atlantis hotel as a non-guest, you can also opt for the hop-on buses in Dubai, all of which have a stop at the famous hotel. You can also travel to the hotel at the tip of the palm island by public transport. The Palm monorail has been constructed on the palm island with various stations, the end station of which is located at the Atlantis hotel. The starting station of the monorail is at The Gateway Towers. A round trip to the Atlantis hotel from the Gateway starting station costs 30 dirhams, a one-way trip costs you 15 dirhams.
The starting station of the monorail, the Gateway station, has a connection to the Dubai Tram , allowing you to easily travel from the Damac Properties metro station (Dubai Marina station) and DMCC (formerly Jumeirah Lake Towers) or the Dubai Marina to the monorail station with the Dubai Tram. To travel from the Dubai Tram to the monorail station, you need to get off at the Palm Jumeirah tram stop (tram stop no. 9). The monorail itself does not have a direct connection to the Dubai Metro, but the Dubai Tram has a direct connection to the Dubai Metro at the “Dubai Marina” and “DMCC Metro Station” stations.
An alternative way to travel to the monorail station is by taxi. It’s best to take one from the Jabal Ali metro station (formerly known as Nakheel Towers) to the starting point of the monorail at Gateway Towers. Or, of course, directly from your hotel if you don’t feel like taking the metro first. Often, the taxi driver will understand you perfectly if you ask for “monorail the Palm” or “monorail station Palm Jumeirah.”
