Atlantis Dubai has been named among the 10 best integrated resorts globally in Forbes Travel Guide, a global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruises.

 

Atlantis The Royal in Dubai has earned a Five-Star award for the second consecutive year in Forbes Travel Guide (FTG) and Atlantis, The Palm earned a Four-Star award for the fourth consecutive year. 

 

Atlantis Dubai continues to prioritise building and nurturing a passionate, dedicated team devoted to delivering exceptional guest experiences. With a steadfast commitment to excellence, both properties have consistently showcased outstanding service, world-class amenities, and unparalleled hospitality, it said.

 

Atlantis The Royal’s prestigious Five-Star award reaffirms its status as the world’s leading ultra-luxury experiential resort, while Atlantis, The Palm’s Four-Star recognition highlights its continuous exceptional performance, Atlantis said. 

 

After debuting its restaurant star rating in Dubai last year, Forbes Travel Guide has, for the first time, awarded Five-Star ratings to select restaurants in the city. Four of Atlantis Dubai's dining venues have received this esteemed rating. 

 

Ossiano and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal were awarded Five-Stars, while Seafire Steakhouse & Bar earned Four-Stars, and Ariana’s Persian Kitchen received a Recommended rating. Recipients of this globally recognised award have demonstrated a unique and unwavering commitment to elevating the guest experience, further cementing Atlantis Dubai’s position as a leader in the region’s culinary landscape.

 

Having pioneered the Five-Star Rating concept in 1958, Forbes Travel Guide is the world’s only independent rating system. Its anonymous professional inspectors travel globally, staying a minimum of two nights and covering their own expenses. They evaluate properties based on 900 objective standards, focusing on outstanding service and ensuring discerning travellers can identify the finest luxury experiences. Star Ratings are awarded exclusively through this independent inspection process.

 

Paul Baker, President of Atlantis, commented: "On behalf of Atlantis Dubai and Kerzner International, we are immensely proud to be recognised with a record-breaking 31 stars in the Forbes Travel Guide 2025, making us the most awarded resort in the Middle East and one of the top achieving resorts globally. This achievement is a testament to our incredible team's dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment, who continuously strive to set new benchmarks in luxury hospitality. Achieving such a high ranking among all integrated resorts worldwide reaffirms our mission to deliver extraordinary hospitality in the Middle East and beyond.” 

 

“Forbes Travel Guide’s Star Award winners exemplify excellence in hospitality,” says Amanda Frasier, President of Standards & Ratings for Forbes Travel Guide. “This year’s list continues to reflect the changing landscape of luxury with properties setting the standard for authentic experiences while offering unparalleled amenities, enhanced well-being and delivering unforgettable moments. We are thrilled to recognise their dedication to creating truly world-class travel options for today’s discerning guest.” -TradeArabia News Service
