Cloud 22 Atlantis - Sky-High Pool Luxury

Cloud 22 sits high up on the 22nd floor of Atlantis The Royal, about 96 meters above Palm Jumeirah, with a 90-meter infinity sky pool that stretches across the horizon. When the sun dips, the views swell, Palm, skyline, and sea all glowing together. It’s not just for hotel guests anymore: as of December 4, 2023, Cloud 22 opened its doors to outside visitors too.

There are 60 sun loungers, 15 floating beds, 11 private cabanas, and a two-storey “VVIP cabana” with AC, private plunge pool, and elevated suspended pool. Food and drink are elevated too:

Mediterranean-style bites, signature cocktails, and light sharing plates, often served poolside. Chef Serhat Meci leads the kitchen.

Experiences, Best Times & Visiting Tips

Cloud 22 is best experienced in late afternoon and sunset hours. The pool area is gorgeous then, with golden light transforming views. Also, visiting mid-week helps avoid the big crowds. And hands down, winter months (around November–March) are the sweet spot for comfort and view.

What Makes It Stand Out

This isn’t just a pool - it’s architecture + experience + detail. The design includes six large acrylic “Trumpets” around the pool, each topped with hand-blown flowers, vapor clouds, and sculptural flair. The Lotus Bar, shaped like a giant lotus leaf, spans wide with swim-up access, perfect for sundowners.

Additionally, Cloud 22 has been awarded “Best Swimming Pool” in Dubai at the FACT Spa & Wellness Awards, showing that it’s not just aesthetically pleasing, but also recognized.
