BackPalm Jumeirah, one of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, is the world’s largest man-made island. It comprises a 2-kilometer-long trunk, a crown made up of 17 fronds, and a horseshoe-shaped crescent, giving it the form of a palm tree. Sometimes referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Palm is home to some of the most luxurious resorts in the UAE including The Atlantis, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, Rixos The Palm, and many more.
Aquaventure Waterpark
Aquaventure's most famous ride is probably the Leap of Faith, a 27.5m plunge that carries you through a clear tube surrounded by sharks and rays – although Blackout is known as "the scarier sister" to Leap of Faith. Along with these body rides, there are also water coasters such as Shark Attack where you ride on an inflatable ring, and group rides including Zoomerango. There's also river rides, cliff-jumps and more, with endless opportunities for splashing about – and for surfers, even a chance to ride the waves. Children must be taller than 1.2m to ride many Aquaventure attractions, but for smaller kids there are plenty more fun options, including the Splashers Kids' Play Area, a maze of kid-friendly tunnels, tubes, slides and climbing frames. Aquaventure also offers animal experiences such as swimming safely with sharks, hand-feeding friendly cow-nose rays, and the park's famous dolphin and sea lion encounters. And when it's time to relax and take a breather, you can enjoy the serene private beachfront, 1km in length and ideal for sunbathing or a leisurely walk.
Lost Chambers Aquarium
There are over 20 marine exhibits in this aquarium where you can interact with some of the creatures and even help feed them – guided by animal experts. Whether you want to see or literally become part of the underwater scene, The Lost Chambers Aquarium is an adventure for the whole family.
The Lost Chambers is a must-visit for guests at the resort, who can take advantage of free entry to its resplendent environs. All visitors can make the most of their trip with a day at the nearby Aquaventure Waterpark or a delicious meal at surrounding high-end restaurants like Nobu, Ossiano and Gordon Ramsay's Bread Street Kitchen.
