Just URBANE|July 2022
This month we head to Atlantis, the Palm in Dubai. And, trust me it isn't just a picturesque resort on world's largest man-made island, but instead is remniscent of the castles from your yesteryears fairy tale

ATLANTIS THE PALM

INSIDE

Legend says that the Atlantis was built by Poseidon - the God of Sea, of storms and earthquakes when he fell in love with a mortal woman Cleito.

ATLANTIS- THE LOST ISLAND, FILLED WITH myths and magic, it's a story that captures one's imagination, inspired by Plato who told the story of Atlantis around 360 B.C. He proclaimed the founders of Atlantis, were half-god and half-human. Well, Atlantis the Palm Dubai makes sure to treat you like God. Lost cities, mystic ships and hidden treasures, are all part of the alluring marine world. Of all these, the lost city of Atlantis tops the list but trust Dubai to build its own sunken city and surround it with the magnificent royal structure that can put any palace to shame.

Legend says that the Atlantis was built by Poseidon - the God of Sea, of storms and earthquakes when he fell in love with a mortal woman Cleito. He made this city on top of a hill, on an isolated island in the sea, to protect her and named it Atlantis. The legendary Atlantis Dubai was the first resort to be built on the world's largest man-made island and is themed on the myth of Atlantis. This resort is a crown on the apex of Palm Jumeirah, it's a city in its own right only this place is not lost. Atlantis' towers of red bricks remind me of a castle set in a fairy tale, its iconic central arch opens a gateway to a magical kingdom. Either side of this arch looks like wings extended to embrace its grandeur with elaborate playgrounds, gardens filled with butterflies and birds, and water bodies to soothe the soul every few steps. The lobby is dominated by a ceiling-high, multicoloured glass sculpture that looks like Medusa's head filled with colourful snakes rising from a fountain. What could be perceived as too much to an adult, must seem glorious to children and is few whimsical adults like me.
