Not that we’re in short supply of luxury hotels here in Dubai, but these six new hotel openings have us eagerly waiting to check in.
UAE
Atlantis, The Royal
If you’ve been on the Palm recently, you would’ve spotted the experiential-looking resort next door to Atlantis. Almost resembling a stack of shipping containers, the highly anticipated launch of Atlantis, The Royal is upon us, offering a hospitable and entertaining destination spanning roughly 63 hectares. The ultra-luxury resort will host 795 rooms and suites, 90 swimming pools – including an infinity pool soaring almost 96m above the Palm – and will be an unparalleled culinary destination with outposts by some of the world’s most acclaimed chefs including Heston Blumenthal and José Andrés.
Set to open in the Fall of 2022. For more information, please visit atlantis.com.
Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah
The first Marriott resort in Dubai is officially opening its doors this year, and it’s beautifully located on the beach of the iconic Palm Jumeirah. Set to cater to both the leisure-seeking and dynamic business traveller, the resort offers the best of both worlds with its prime location and luxury services. The beachfront hotel is made up of 608 guest rooms, all with private balconies, 8 restaurants which include Korean, Italian, Japanese and Mexican cuisines, bars including Las Vegas’ famed Sake Rok, and the luxury Saray Spa.

Banyan Tree AlUla
We’re particularly excited about this one. The Kingdom’s very first Banyan Tree resort will be opening up at AlUla, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it looks very serene. The high-end desert resort is situated in an eco-tourism region – just a short flight from either Jeddah or Riyadh – and will feature 82 luxury villas, a plush spa and a number of gourmet dining options. To pay tribute to its surroundings, saviour those idyllic moments in villas made to blend seamlessly into the Ashar Valley with its neutral and natural palettes.
