Celebrity couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning to welcome in 2009 at the new Atlantis The Palm Resort on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah Island. According to news reports, the pair are hoping to make New Year’s evening a star-studded affair with celebs from across the globe in attendance.
The Atlantis Resort and Hotel on the man-made Palm Jumeirah Island is a spectacular mega-resort at the very top of the island’s outer rim. The US $1.5 billion resort has an underwater aquarium, a 42-acre aquapark and sits on 113 acres of land. It opened to guests at the end of September and is already a popular tourist destination.
For the rich and famous, one feature of the resort is its top floor Bridge Suite. This three-bedroom, three-bathroom suite, complete with 18-seat gold-leafed dining table and its own staff of four costs 92,000 Dirhams, or about $26,000 a night. The suite is on the bridge that joins the two wings of the hotel and overlooks both the Arabian Sea and the Palm Jumeirah Island.
For those who want to enjoy this remarkable resort on the world’s first man-made island, there are several deals for travelers. In conjunction with the Atlantis Hotel, Emirates airlines has just announced their special offer of free accommodation for first and business class passengers traveling to or via Dubai. The offer runs until December, 24th, 2008.
