Atlantis The Palm hotel review: a Dubai palace with entertainment for the whole family
With 1,544 rooms, the world's largest waterpark, an aquarium and 35 restaurants and bars, Atlantis The Palm is as extra as it gets: its own self-contained world on the crescent that surrounds Dubai's Palm Jumeirah. The hotel dazzles from every angle — from its soaring salmon-pink façade to the towering Dale Chihuly glass sculpture in the lobby, the carved nautiluses in the corridors and the intricate frescoes of Greek mythology, sea urchins and scallop shells that adorn the walls and ceilings. Since 2008, when it was the first resort to open on the Palm, the hotel has drawn families from around the world with its mix of action, adventure and fun. There are few hotels in the world that can keep so many age groups entertained on so many levels, but do bear in mind this is very much a place for families. If you're looking for a couple's escape, head to Atlantis The Royal next door.

Score 8/10Considering the thousands of suitcases dragged through the corridors and the millions of flip-flops traipsing from beach to bedroom each year, the rooms — and the entire hotel, for that matter — are pristine. The gleaming marble is completely unscratched, and there's not a single grain of sand nor a drip from a wet swimsuit on a floor anywhere. The upkeep is a Herculean task managed diligently by a team of housekeepers who are constantly sweeping and tidying. Compared to how OTT the rest of the resort is, the guest rooms here are fairly subtle, filled with light and with far-reaching views of the Palm or the Gulf. The marine theme is embraced in sand and turquoise colour schemes, coral-shaped wall art and plush carpets. At 45 sq m, the smallest rooms can easily accommodate a family, and there are plenty of connecting rooms for larger families to spread out. All rooms have outdoor access, ranging from Juliet balconies to larger areas with space to sit. But the real wows are reserved for the suites, in particular the two underwater suites. They're built into the walls of the aquarium, so you can watch sharks and rays glide past your bed and bathtub. A word of caution on the in-room minibars — remove something for more than a minute and it'll be added to your bill automatically.Score 9/10 Atlantis The Palm's 35 dining options include family-friendly buffets; casual spots for noodles and shawarma, and fine-dining options for proper grown-up nights out (nanny services are available for those wanting a child-free dinner). Standouts include the predictable but inevitably delicious black cod miso at sky-high Nobu, located in the bridge above the hotel's central arch; and imaginative tasting menus featuring seafood at Michelin-star Ossiano, within the aquarium. Family favourite Wave House is a shorts and flip-flops kind of place where burgers and milkshakes are served alongside a surfing pool, bowling alley and arcade games. And you can tuck into truffle taramasalata, crispy eggplant mille-feuille and Alaskan king crab tacos at Mykonos-style beach club White, an adults-only venue with two waterside infinity pools. During holiday periods the hotel gets very busy, and the queue for breakfast at Saffron can be maddening. Persevere and you're rewarded with an almost overwhelming selection of Arabic, Sri Lankan, Chinese and Indian dishes cooked to order, eggs, towering displays of pastries and a bloody mary and mimosa station to take the edge off it all.

Score 10/10Entry to the onsite Aquaventure waterpark, packed full of waterslides, rapids and wave pools, is free for hotel guests, as is the Lost Chambers aquarium, home to 65,000 marine creatures. The tethered Dubai Balloon rises 300m above the resort for 360-degree views, and the ultra-luxe Atlantis The Royal, with 17 high-end restaurants including a beach club by Nobu Matsuhisa, is a buggy ride away along the beach. Atlantis revolves around families, and there are family pools, playgrounds, a long beach (be careful of jellyfish here), and opportunities to send children off for a few hours to the kids' and teens' clubs, or on the educational marine biologist programme. There's a mini shopping mall in the Avenues where you can pick up a Rolex, Vilebrequin swimwear, beach essentials and kitsch souvenirs like genie lamps and sparkle-covered Burj Al Arab statues. And when it all gets a bit much, the Awaken Spa offers an escape with reiki, chakra balancing and hypno-healing sessions.
Score 8/10Many guests are perfectly happy never stepping outside the self-contained world of Atlantis, but if you've come to embark on some Dubai sightseeing, you need to make a little effort to get off the Palm — although nowhere is very far in this city. The Burj Khalifa and the Museum of the Future are around 20 minutes away by taxi. The huge Mall of the Emirates, home to an indoor ski slope, is less than 20 minutes away, and the more manageable Nakheel Mall, in the middle of the Palm's trunk, has a good selection of high street stores and supermarkets. Hop on the Palm Monorail from Atlantis Aquaventure and you'll be there in four minutes. Dubai International Airport is half an hour away by car.

Britain's best island is 'the most underrated place in the world'
For the sun-soaked Channel Islands, to the rugged landscapes of the Outer Hebrides, Britain has countless islands well worth a visit. But with so many options, which one do you pick for your next getaway? New research has found the answer and, after comparing over 40 British islands, Anglesey, the largest island in Wales, was declared the best in Britain. The study looked at various factors, including weather reliability, UNESCO sites, historical properties, Michelin-starred restaurants and whether there's a vineyard or distillery, to experience local produce. Locals and tourists have long been singing Anglesey's praises, citing 'stunning' coastal scenes as far as the eye can see, and the 'panoramic views' of Snowdonia on the mainland. Other visitors have dubbed the island 'ridiculously beautiful' and the most 'underrated place in the world.' Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. So, rather than hopping on a flight to Spain or Greece this summer, why not try Anglesey instead? Anglesey's crowning glory is its beaches. One of which was recently named the country's best coastal hidden gem. Just south of Holyhead lies Trearddur Bay, which a new study has praised as one of the 'most prestigious' beaches in Anglesey. From 'crystal clear waters' to its 'quiet' reputation, you'll never have to compete with swarms of beachgoers for a spot. While you're in the area, try the Ocean's Edge Restaurant, The Driftwood Bar & Restaurant or the Sea Shanty Café for lunch. The latter sits on the beach and serves up classic fish and chips, seafood, including scallops, moules frites, and tasty Thai fish cakes. Beer battered cod fillet with homemade chips, tartare sauce and mushy peas costs 19.45, while a small plate of mussels in white wine, garlic and cream with toasted sourdough is £11.50. Though quite pricey, diners say it's worth it. The eatery is currently the number one restaurant in Trearddur Bay on TripAdvisor. Rave reviews include the 'food and service being second to none,' and the 'highlight' of one family's trip. If you're more into rock pooling, head to the nearby Porth Diana Beach. Famed for its clear still waters and soft sands, many visitors also enjoy snorkelling and scuba diving here. Holidaying with your pooch in tow? The beach is dog-friendly year-round. @ Welcome to Newborough Beach (Llanddwyn Beach) in Anglesey, Wales 🫶🏼 This beach is where the clear blue sea meets a picturesque forest, incredible mountains and wild horses roam across lovers island (Ynys Llanddwyn)🌲 Ynys Llanddwyn is where legend says that the well is home to sacred eels who can predict whether couples will remain together and be successful in love 🤍 When I visited I couldn't believe this was in the UK. It's quickly become one of my favourite places and one of the most special to me 🫶🏼 It truly is a bucket list summer destination 🌅 Make sure to save this for your next trip to Wales 🤍 #wales #ukadventure #uksummer #visitwales @Wales 🏴 ♬ Outro by m83 – 𝙡𝙤𝙡𝙖 If you've not guessed by now, Anglesey is the ideal destination for outdoor lovers. Once you've peeled yourself from the comfort of the beach, amble along the Anglesey Coastal Path, which spans 135 miles. Key locations include the walk from Holyhead to Trearddur Bay. For avid climbers, this can encompass a trek up Holyhead Mountain and a descent to the famous South Stack Lighthouse. Another highlight is Llanddwyn Island, a small but dramatic island off the west coast of Anglesey. There's also the epic views of the Menai Strait, where architecture enthusiasts can marvel at the 19th-century Menai Suspension Bridge, which connects the island to the mainland. History heads, no trip to Anglesey is complete without a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Beaumaris Castle, which the Telegraph, in their research, called 'remarkable'. Dating back to 1282, it's known as the 'greatest castle never built.' The impressive remains were constructed as part of Edward I's campaign to conquer North Wales, but with money issues and trouble looming from Scotland at the time, building work ceased by the 1320s. Adults can explore the grounds for £10.50. Children up to 17 cost £7.30. A family ticket can be purchased for £33.60. This permits two adults and up to three kids. Anglesey's landscape also makes it the ideal location for spotting wildlife. Tours are available, where you can get up close and personal with seabirds, seals, and other marine life. Perhaps the most famous is a trip to Puffin Island, a bird sanctuary and nesting site for breeding seabirds. An 80-minute cruise with Seacoast Safaris is £19.95 and takes you past the monastic ruins of St Seiriol and the old semaphore station. Of course, you'll get to see plenty of puffins, too. If adventure is calling, why not try your hand at coasteering? According to TripAdvisor, this is the best way to explore the Anglesey coastline. But it's not for the faint-hearted: for £70, you'll spend three hours cliff jumping, wild swimming, rock climbing, and scrambling along the coast. If you're a newbie, don't worry, as all tours are tailored to skill and experience level. Fancy a tipple? Llanfairpwll Distillery is known for its award-winning craft spirits, including gin and rum. They offer a guided tour for £15, where you can taste the products and see how they're made. A little more expensive at £75 is the Spirit Making Experience, which allows you to make your own vodka, rum, or gin to take home – a great souvenir idea. Word of warning: don't expect your summer holiday in Anglesey to be constant bright sunshine with Mediterranean-style heat. We are in the United Kingdom, after all. But, if you do manage to catch good weather while on the island, temperatures during June, July and August can range between 18°C and 20°C. Not boiling hot, but warm enough to go for a dip in the sea, sunbathe on the beach, or enjoy a comfortable stroll along the coast. During winter, temperatures can drop to 8°C, with highs of 11°C in November. Ultimately, what time of year you visit Anglesey depends on your travel preferences. If you're yearning for a beach day, you're better off sticking to the summer months. But if it's history, wildlife, and wild walks you're after (and you don't mind wind and rain), it likely doesn't matter too much. From London, it's a little tricky to get there. If you're heading to Anglesey by car, the drive will take around 5 hours and 30 minutes. Once you get to North Wales, near the Bangor area, take the Britannia Bridge over the water. The A55 takes you directly to Anglesey. More Trending By rail, take the direct train from London Euston to Holyhead – the historic port town and largest on the island. The journey takes approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes. A one-way ticket without a railcard at 8am on Friday 27 June costs £50. For those arriving from closer cities like Liverpool and Manchester, the journey will be less intense. Driving takes between 1 hour and 50 minutes to just over two hours. On the train, it's a little longer. From Liverpool Central, you have to change at Chester and then onto Holyhead. One-way tickets generally cost around £23. As for Manchester (either Victoria or Piccadilly), you can go direct or change at Chester. Prices range between £21 and £31. The Telegraph's report named the Isle of Wight Britain's second-best island. Sitting 12 miles off the coast of Portsmouth, this unique diamond-shaped island has a lot to offer. This is something I can confirm, because for the last four years, I've called this tiny patch of paradise home. From azure waters, golden sands, and subtropical microclimates, to tuning into French radio and spotting dolphins frolicking off the coast (none of which you'd associate with the UK), the Isle of Wight is a truly magical place. Especially in summer, which is when this 147sqm stretch of land comes to life. Alongside rugged coastal paths, chalky cliff tops and shimmering bays, there's also a thriving creative community dedicated to putting this special place on the map.
