In a stunning collaboration with Ounass, the Middle East’s premier luxury e-commerce platform, Dolce&Gabbana has reimagined Cloud 22 at Atlantis The Royal as a luxurious, Italian-inspired sanctuary. This transformation exudes opulence, love, hospitality, beauty, and art, creating an unforgettable experience.
As the morning sun gently kissed the horizon, I savored my “me time” at Cloud 22. The serene ambiance and Italian-inspired decor immediately enveloped me in tranquility. Eager to share this hyped collaboration with my bestie, we set out to explore the unparalleled style Dolce&Gabbana had infused into every aspect of this place.
Cloud 22, the Rooftop Infinity Pool Lounge at Atlantis The Royal, soars 96 meters above The Palm, offering panoramic views of the glittering Arabian Sea and Dubai’s iconic skyline. This venue, representing the hotel’s spiritual essence, perfectly complements the ethereal collaboration between Ounass and Dolce&Gabbana. The Italian luxury fashion house has seamlessly integrated its iconic identity into the lounge’s already charming atmosphere.
Every corner of the rooftop pool lounge is adorned with Dolce&Gabbana’s signature blue majolica print—from the infinity pool to the 11 luxury cabanas—creating a cohesive and captivating visual experience. The floating beds, cabanas, and sun loungers, dressed in the striking majolica print, along with beach balls and rings featuring the same recognizable design, evoke the feel of a luxurious Italian hideaway. White and blue striped parasols add to the elegance, neatly shading the sunbeds.
Visitors can also head to the Galleria Level of Atlantis The Royal to discover an extraordinary Ounass x Dolce&Gabbana pop-up store. This pop-up unveils iconic pieces from Dolce&Gabbana collections, including Blue Majolica, Psychedelic Cart, and the Crystal Mesh Collection, as part of Ounass’ unparalleled shopping experience.
To complement the high-fashion takeover, Cloud 22 has introduced a special menu featuring exquisite dishes such as bruschetta with Oscietra caviar, Gillardeau oysters drizzled with Amalfi lemon and balsamico sauce, and steak tartare topped with luxurious truffle.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Cloud 22 was no ordinary rooftop lounge.
