Atlantis The Royal in Dubai is owned and operated by Kerzner International, a global developer and operator of destination resorts and ultra-luxury hotels. Kerzner International is itself primarily owned by the Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD), the sovereign wealth fund of the Government of Dubai. This ownership structure makes the resort a flagship piece of Dubai’s "World Class" tourism portfolio, alongside its sister property, Atlantis, The Palm. In 2026, the resort remains one of the most expensive and architecturally distinct hotels in the world, having gained global fame during its 2023 opening featuring a performance by Beyoncé. Kerzner continues to manage the property under its "Atlantis" brand, which focuses on high-end, immersive, water-themed experiences, while the ICD provides the massive financial backing required to maintain the resort's status as a pinnacle of global luxury and architectural innovation on the Palm Jumeirah.
