Atlantis Dubai has announced the temporary closure of at least seven restaurants across its two properties, Atlantis The Palm and Atlantis The Royal. The decision comes as the resort group conducts a comprehensive review of its operations to align with current guest demand and footfall levels.
The affected venues include several of the resort's most celebrated dining destinations. Among the temporarily shuttered locations are Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Hakkasan, and the underwater fine-dining experience Ossiano at Atlantis The Palm. At Atlantis The Royal, the closures extend to Ling Ling, Brasserie Frantzen, and La Mar by Gaston Acurio. Additionally, the Cloud 22 beach club at Atlantis The Royal has also been closed to the public.
During this period, the resort intends to focus on refining its overall offering. Planned activities include menu development, special activations, and refurbishment works at select venues. Specifically, upgrades are currently underway at Cloud 22, with the aim of reintroducing the paused concepts with renewed energy once market demand increases.
While these venues are closed, a number of other popular restaurants remain open and welcoming guests. Dining options currently operating include Carbone Dubai, Estiatorio Milos, Nobu by the Beach, and Gastronomy at Atlantis The Royal. At Atlantis The Palm, Bread Street Kitchen & Bar, Nobu Dubai, FZN by Bjorn Frantzen, and the recreation center Wavehouse continue to serve visitors.
The closures coincide with a traditionally quieter period for the UAE's hospitality sector, a time when many properties typically reassess operations, perform maintenance, or refresh concepts ahead of the busy winter season. However, the current landscape has seen a higher-than-usual number of properties pausing operations or undergoing significant upgrades, influenced by broader regional factors affecting tourism and travel.
At this stage, no specific reopening dates have been confirmed for the closed venues. The timeline for their return will be determined by wider market conditions and the recovery of footfall in the region.
