Sleep with the fishes (literally)

You have one night free in any hotel. Which one do you go to? Any hotel that’s completely underwater. – Rachel Zarrell

A shiny symbol of Dubai’s reinvention from desert outpost to modern metropolis, Atlantis the Palm is an icon of contemporary hotel architecture. With its turrets and striking salmon-colored exterior, the resort resembles a fairy tale castle, encircled by swimming pools and palm trees. Standard rooms provide panoramic vistas of the Arabian Gulf and underwater suites, which cost around $7,775 per night, overlook an aquarium filled with 65,000 sea creatures! Shouting distance from the Mall of the Emirates and Wild Wadi Water Park, the resort boasts 23 restaurants, a water park, gym and a nightclub. ShuiQi Spa offers luxurious treatments such as the “Dubai Glamour Ritual,” a full body massage and damask rose facial. Atlantis the Palm is 23 miles from Dubai International Airport. Travelers can reserve a room online and see photos of the underwater hotel on Instagram before their vacation.
