Atlantis - the flagship resort on The Palm - was the first resort to open its doors on Dubai's revolutionary island. Created by Kerzner International Holdings, a leading international developer and operator of destination resorts, the resort welcomed its first guests in September 2008.

A landmark event

With its enviable location atop the crescent of The Palm, the opening of Atlantis was a landmark event, redefining tourism in Dubai as the first truly integrated entertainment destination resort. The resort encompasses a 46 hectare site with 17 hectares of water-themed amusement at Aquaventure Waterpark, extensive fresh- and salt-water pools and lagoon exhibits, an open-aired marine habitat second only to Mother Nature, a seemingly endless stretch of beach, luxury boutiques, numerous dining choices including three world-renowned chef restaurants, an exciting nightlife experience, award-winning ShuiQi Spa & Fitness, and 5,600m² of meeting and function space.

This competition and augmented reality experience is a first for South Africa on this scale. South Africans are mobile savvy and the uptake on augmented reality is growing continually with a 25% growth in Layar App downloads in 2014 to date. The Vida interactive sleeve has been augmented by Digital Narrative, a Layar Certified Partner. Digital Narrative, a Cape Town-based company, provides advertisers and publishers with AR solutions with additional layers of information, such as videos, photos and sounds, where customers engage richly with brands.
