Atlantis The Royal Residences

Whole ownership of an apartment inside Atlantis The Royal, registered with the Dubai Land Department, which issues the title deed in the buyer's name. Dubai allows buyers who do not hold GCC nationality to acquire freehold rights in the areas designated under Article 3 of Regulation No. 3 of 2006, and it also allows usufruct or leasehold rights of up to 99 years. Which of those applies to a given apartment, with the unit number, floor, size and allocated parking, is read off the title deed and confirmed for the specific residence before you commit. There is no fixed week and no fractional element.

Owner use year-round, with no fixed weeks and no exchange programme attached to the residence. A long let is registered in the normal way through Ejari. A short let is different. The Department of Economy and Tourism requires every apartment and villa to be registered and approved before it is listed as a holiday home, so an owner letting the residence while away does so under a DET permit, subject to availability and to the building's house rules. Whether the resort operation will take a residence into a letting programme is confirmed for the specific residence.

An annual service charge, assessed per square foot of the residence and collected by the owners association. The Dubai Land Department publishes the approved rate in its service charge index, which is looked up against the title deed number, so the current figure is confirmed for the specific residence before you commit, along with the cooling and utility accounts. Registration and transfer fees are paid to the Dubai Land Department at a registration trustee office on the day of transfer, and those amounts are confirmed at the office before completion.

The residences sit inside a working resort, so the daily service and the venues listed below come from the hotel operation rather than from a separate residents' club. Several of those venues are reservation-only and two of the pool clubs are for adults from 21. What an owner and an owner's guests may use, and on what terms, is confirmed for the specific residence before you commit.

Kohn Pedersen Fox designed Atlantis The Royal, with Dynamic Engineering Consultants as architect of record and interiors by GA Design and SM Design. The scheme runs to 193,600 sq m and holds 231 residences alongside 795 hotel rooms, in curved, stepped towers that carry sky courts and terraces above a shared base and frame the arch over the crescent. It stands 43 floors and 193 m tall, was built by Besix and opened on 10 February 2023. Resale listings show residence types including Skycourt apartments, duplexes with private pools and garden suites.

The crescent of Palm Jumeirah, with the Gulf on one side and the Palm and the Dubai skyline on the other. The resort's beach, The Royal Pool and the Cloud 22 sky pool club are on site, and Atlantis, The Palm stands next door with Aquaventure World and The Lost World Aquarium. Dubai International is 40 to 60 minutes away by taxi on the resort's own figures, and the resort arranges airport transfers. Outdoor areas at the resort are shaded and cooled for 10 months of the year, which matters here from June to September.

Dubai is open to foreign buyers. A buyer who does not live in the UAE may acquire freehold rights in the designated areas without restriction, or take usufruct or leasehold rights for up to 99 years instead. The sale is registered at a Dubai Land Department registration trustee office, which issues the title deed; there is no residency requirement to own. Brokers must hold a Dubai Land Department licence and the department publishes the list of licensed brokers, so the agent on the other side of a resale can be checked before you commit.

Avory deals with the brokerages holding the resale listings at Atlantis The Royal, and with owners directly. After you enquire we confirm what is genuinely available, check the size, floor and parking against the title deed, obtain the current service charge from the owners association, and arrange viewings with the listing agent. Owner stays are arranged only where the owner permits them, subject to availability and Dubai's holiday home permit rules. Avory is not the developer, the operator or the brand. Request access.
