How much did it cost to make Atlantis the Royal?

Dubai's newest mega-resort Atlantis The Royal will feature the world's first Nobu beach club and renowned chef Heston Blumenthal's debut bar when it launches in 2023. The property used daring construction techniques to pull off its Jenga-like stacked modernist design, built at a cost of $1.6 billion over six years.



The construction of Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, which had its grand reveal in early 2023 and remains a pinnacle of luxury in 2026, cost approximately $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion USD. Developed by Kerzner International, this architectural marvel on the Palm Jumeirah consists of 795 rooms, suites, and penthouses, along with 231 luxury residences. The high cost is reflected in its complex "Jenga-like" cantilevered design, which features 90 swimming pools (including the iconic Cloud 22 infinity pool) and 17 world-class restaurants. The eight-year construction process involved ultra-premium materials and advanced engineering to support the massive sky-bridge structure. In 2026, it remains one of the most expensive hotel projects ever completed, competing only with its neighbor, Atlantis The Palm, and the nearby Burj Al Arab in terms of sheer financial investment and opulence.
