Luxury homes at The Royal Atlantis Resort & Residences on the Palm Jumeriah in Dubai have gone on sale at prices starting from $2 million.

The $1.4-billion hotel and resort, which is being built for Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) at a cost of $1.4 billion, will be managed by Kerzner International, a leading developer and operator of destination resorts and luxury hotels.

Spread over 10 hectares of land, the Royal Atlantis Resort & Residences will offer 231 residences, and 795 new lavish guest rooms and suites.

Located on the crescent of The Palm and next to the iconic Atlantis resort, this new generation of distinctive luxury will offer a sophisticated lifestyle experience encapsulated in dramatic architecture, the developer says.

The Royal Atlantis Residences are destined to become a new landmark, world-renowned address and will be Dubai’s first super-prime residential development, it adds.

The residences will consist of a selection of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes, Sky Courts, Penthouses and Garden Suites. 

Sales of the residences are being managed by Knight Frank.
