VUE

natural intrigue you could ever want is live and direct, just outside the suite's windows. I f you're feeling extra brave, you can take a dive into the world on the opposite side of the glass. With the available Ultimate Dive package, you'll get the opportunity to swim with sharks and feed stingrays. You can even swim past the windows of your suite, so you can contrast what you see with your view from inside. Other perks featured in the Poseidon and Neptune Underwater Suites include 24-hour around the clock butler service and a bar loaded with Dom Perignon. Being that Dubai is located within a Muslim country (the United Arab Emirates), there is an alternative beverage for those who don't partake in alcohol: a sparkling drink made from date juice. The staff and the room itself were built on the premise of pampering your every whim, which is why the price tag is set to exclusive only. One night in the Underwater Suites costs a little under $8,200, per guest. But if you're looking for an escape from the world and a place to let your thoughts drift into the endless sea, then add the suites at Atlantis: The Palm to your bucket list. Dubai may not be a vacation destination where you go in the hopes of cutting corners, but their luxury hotels are a once in a lifetime opportunity. Where else could you experience the beauty of the world that lives beneath the ocean, all from the comfort of your bed?
