Atlantis in dubai
Wow - the legend of Atlantis is coming to Arabia, and it more than lives up to the myth. This lavish marine-themed resort combines the height of luxury with incredible, unique attractions that will keep you and the kids awe-struck from the first day of your holiday right through to the last! The huge Ambassador Lagoon is a definite highlight, containing over 65,000 fish and marine life, including schools of shark, manta ray and battalions of brightly coloured fish. Wander through the passageways and tunnels of the Lost Chamber at leisure, marveling at uninterrupted underwater views of the ruined streets and boulevards of Atlantis. Another incredible attraction is Aquaventure, the region’s biggest new water park with fantastic thrill rides, water cascades, slides and river-ride action. As a guest, it’s completely FREE of charge and therefore not to be missed! We shouldn’t blow our own trumpet, but our Exclusive Virgin Holidays Concierge Lounge is another Atlantis treasure! With its iPods, PlayStations and laptops,

it’s a great place to listen to music, play a few games, pick up emails and find out the best things to see and do in the local region from our ever friendly Virgin team. If you’re in need of pampering, the ShuiQi Spa is a must with 27 treatment rooms as well as a state-of-the-art fitness centre to tempt you. Whilst you’re busy relaxing, the kids can play to their hearts content at the Atlantis Kids Club with something exciting on the agenda every day. Teens are taken care of too at Club Rush, a very cool hang-out with strictly no parents allowed! When it comes to dining, you’re spoilt for choice with 17 restaurants and bars to choose from. Award-winning Spanish-themed cuisine can be enjoyed at Ossiano’s or head to Nobu’s, the first in the Middle East, for Japanese dishes with an American influence. Rostang’s is also a treat, with its contemporary French brasserie menu. For more casual eats, Kaleidoscope is very family-friendly and there are various outdoor bars and grills to choose from with poolside service.
