Dining at Atlantis The Royal — Gastronomy Experiences

Buffet and seated dining at the Palm's most expensive hotel — worth knowing which you are booking.

Booking is handled on Viator. We may earn a commission — your price is unchanged.

About this experience

Atlantis The Royal opened in 2023 as the more expensive sibling to the original Atlantis, and its restaurant list is unusually strong — several outlets run by chefs with international reputations, alongside a large buffet operation.

The two listings here are different products despite similar names. One is the buffet: extensive, good value relative to the a la carte, and the practical choice for a family or anyone who wants range. The other is a seated restaurant experience with a set menu.

Either gets you inside the building, which for many people is part of the appeal — the lobby, the water features and the architecture are worth seeing regardless of what you eat. Book dinner rather than lunch if you want the Palm lit up.

Highlights
