Iconic Atlantis Hotel Chain Unveils Incredible New Attraction With Breathtaking Number Of Live Animals

In a dazzling spectacle, Atlantis Dubai has unveiled a new realm beneath the waves by rebranding and revamping one of its most beloved attractions.

Atlantis’ iconic five-star The Palm, which is nestled on the Arabian Gulf, is known for sparing no expense – and its latest offering is no different.

Seventeen years after it was officially opened, the popular Lost Chambers Aquarium has been completely transformed with custom-curated tech and rebranded as Lost World Aquarium.

The new breathtaking odyssey, inspired by the legend of the sunken city Atlantis, plunges guests into the heart of a mythical long-forgotten underwater civilization.

Housing over 65,000 marine animals across a series of theatrically lit habitats, it is already being hailed as one of the most innovative aquatic attractions in existence – and the crown jewel in the ever expanding Atlantis Dubai empire.

Its latest changes include a sudden influx of marine species, with more than 430 new live animals across 35 varying species being added.

The species include the striated frogfish, the Axolotl and the Giant Pacific Octopus to name just a few.

Featuring ground-breaking marine design, carefully curated bespoke content, immersive storytelling and enriching educational programs, the new attraction is set to open to the public on October 27.

The new experience spans across 14 diversely-themed chambers which boast more than 1,900 LED panels, 55 high-powered projectors, and over 140 speakers.

Additionally, there will be a live mermaid show multiple times per day held in the 10-meter deep Ambassador Lagoon.

The performers, consisting of five members from across the globe, will demonstrate advanced breath-hold skills, choreographed movements, music and storytelling.

Customers have been recommended to save at least three hours to fully embrace the new sensory paradise.

The Palm itself, which has played host to a lengthy list of A-listers including Kim Kardashian, was opened to much fanfare back in 2008.

The ‘spectacular’ launch included a star-studded guest list featuring Robert DeNiro, Gerard Butler and Kylie Minogue.

It is no stranger to going big and bold since it is also home to the world’s largest waterpark called Aquaventure World.

In 2022, it snagged the Guinness World Record for the most waterslides in a single waterpark – and it’s only grown since.

After a major expansion, it now boasts 105 slides, rides and attractions across 55 acres.

Guests at either Atlantis, The Palm or Atlantis, The Royal get entry to Lost World Aquarium and Aquaventure World included in the price of their stay.

External visitors can get standalone tickets for the aquarium from $23 for kids and $29 for adults.

If attendees are also heading to the waterpark, then they can buy a combined ticket from $91 for kids and $103 for adults.
