With breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline, Skypool Cloud 22 is one of the premier places to see and be seen on the Arabian Gulf. As the centerpiece of the exclusive Atlantis The Royal resort, it was previously reserved for hotel guests only, but has started welcoming everyone aged 21 and over since December 4.

Sitting at 96 meters above sea level, the infinity pool measures an impressive 90 meters and boasts 60 sun loungers and 15 floating loungers. If you need more privacy, you can choose between 11 cabanas with a private plunge pool. Or book the two-story VVIP cabana for a superlative bathing experience. The design by the renowned GA Group creates a casual-luxe ambience, with playful details such as a swim-up bar in the shape of a 16-meter-high lotus leaf.

Chef Serhat Meci is responsible for the culinary delights and impresses with signature dishes such as wagyu sliders, Gillardeau oysters, strawberry cheesecake or pita with regional smoked salmon, cream cheese and caviar.

Cloud 22 is open daily from 10:00 to 20:00; sun loungers start at around €112.
