WHITE Beach

WHITE Beach sits on the seaward side of Atlantis, The Palm and faces west, so the sun stays on the beach until it drops behind the Palm. The layout is two outdoor pools plus a sand section with sunbeds, cabanas and a beach bar, and a restaurant serving through the day. Day passes are published per day of the week and come with a food and beverage credit that is spent back at the venue, and a combined ticket with the Aquaventure waterpark next door is sold at a higher rate. Alcohol is served, which in Dubai is normal inside licensed hotel venues such as this one. Swimwear is fine at the pools and on the sand, but a cover up is expected when you walk into the hotel building and the restaurant asks for smart casual. Access is by car with valet parking or by the Palm Monorail to Atlantis station.
