Today the Atlantis Hotel announced open entry for the public following the completion of a $1.5 billion (£800 million) construction project in Dubai.

The focal point of the Palm Jumerirah Island, it includes an exciting water park, pristine white beaches, world-class restaurants, spa resort and cosmopolitan boutiques.

The customers would be entertained by 25 bottlenose dolphins which have been imported under agreement from the Solomon Islands. It has however raised controversy from some animal lovers.

These 25 bottlenose dolphins would be the taught to interact with guests and it would be the main attractions at the resort.

A choice of accommodation is on offer at the resort – including Deluxe & Atlantis guest rooms, executive suites, terrace suites, regal suites, royal suites, and a Presidential Suite which would cost up to $25,000 a night.

There are three floors which are dedicated to exclusive Neptune and Poseidon Suites in the so-called Lost Chamber which offer guests with undersea views into the Ambassador Lagoon, home to 60,000 marine animals, both from their bedroom & bath.

Dubai believes luxury tourism will stay strong and the 113-acre resort is in the middle of the city-state's biggest bet.
