The Atlantis in Dubai is an iconic resort hotel that sits at the top of the Palm Jumeriah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the legend it’s been hiding here in plain sight since September 2008!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What legend do you speak of?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Atlantis has been around for thousands of centuries. With people searching for it for just as long. There’s something very intriguing about this ancient civilisation that just disappeared off the face of the Earth. But did it exist at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, Plato the great philosopher who was right about so much, must be right about this? Or not… Thus giving birth to the lost city of Atlantis myth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the sunken ruins of Atlantis are still to be found, for now this 5 star resort is the next best thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlantis was seen as a technological advanced and wealthy soceity so it def seems at home here in Dubai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An underwater theme is present throughout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring countless swimming pools and private beaches to kick back and relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also has it’s own water park, dolphin bay and aquarium! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is also heaps of shops, bars, restaurants, a spa and an entertainment precinct all on site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So no need to leave this modern Alantis utopia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with only a two night, one day stopover here, this is how we chose to spend our time –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aquaventure Waterpark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This was actually the main reason we chose to stay here, because then entry to the water park is free! Or you can get one or two day passes online or at the gate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Aquaventure<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inside the park you will find many slides and attractions, including Dolphin Bay. Park is open from 10am to 6pm daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favourites were:
Leap of Faith – a 9 storey high slide through a tank filled with sharks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
