Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai, has the most beautiful Underwater Suites. This iconic hotel can be found on the palm-shaped island in Dubai.

Atlantis The Palm offers the most intimate and romantic lodging you could ever dream of. Large floor-to-ceiling windows give the perfect view of marine life.
Imagine watching the fish swim by from your bed. It is heavenly, right?
Although their suites are underwater and offer an amazing view, they look out onto the 65 000 marine animals of the Ambassador Lagoon aquarium. The water in the gulf is very unclear and there are not many interesting fishes swimming around in the Arabian Gulf. That is why in Atlantis the Palm you look out over an aquarium rather than the real sea.
When booking a room in Atlantis The Palm you will also get free entry to the aquarium and the water park affiliated with the hotel.
