Out of the 102 VIP suites, 44 have their own private pools. Outdoor areas remain cooled 10 months out of the year using shades, pools, plants, and ornamental fountains. One of the most expensive hotels in the world, where the price of the "Royal Mansion" suite exceeds $100,000 per night.

Opening

Atlantis The Royal was originally set to open in October 2022 but was rescheduled for 2023. On December 23, 2022, British tabloid newspaper The Sun broke the story that Beyoncé would give an hour-long performance for The Royal on January 21 for more than $24 million, making the concert the highest-paid private performance in history. Various publications were sent invites to a weekend in Dubai with courtesy expense and transport and promised an unspecified "once-in-a-lifetime" performance. On January 18, three days before the concert, fans reported hearing soundchecks for several of Beyoncé's songs outside the hotel. The resort became open to the public and available for reservation on February 10, 2023, and the launch event lasted three days. Journalists, celebrities, and influencers were invited, given accommodation at the hotel and given first class airfare on Emirates.
