Keep palm & carry on

Atlantis, The Palm Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Water babies rejoice, there’s no shortage of watery fun at Atlantis, The Palm’s Aquaventure Waterpark, with its 17 hectares of splash-tastic slides and rides. Families can relax in private seating areas overlooking 700 metres of beachfront, while thrill seekers can soar on the Atlantean Flyer Zip Line, the longest zipline in the Middle East. Don’t miss Dolphin Bay and Sea Lion Point, a river ride through Tower of Neptune, The Rapids and The Torrent or play time at Splashers Childrens Play Area, which includes Splashers Mountain and seven new water slides. Combine your ticket with a visit to The Lost Chambers Aquarium to get up close with 65,000 marine animals and, for dare devils, The Leap of Faith, a nine-storey-tall mega-slide. atlantisthepalm.com
