The lobby in Atlantis The Palm on the man-made Palm Jumeirah Island in Dubai features a massive, 10-meter-high glass sculpture created by artist Dale Chihuly, composed of more than 3,000 intricately blown glass pieces. The design of the hotel incorporates themes from the myth of Atlantis blended with Arabian architectural elements, such as Moorish archways. Photo by Jonathan Stokes.

Sophisticated Giving Charity Register 2026
A comprehensive guide to non-profit organizations and philanthropic initiatives in Cincinnati. Presented by Western & Southern Financial Group and Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.
Highlights from the March/April 2026 Issue
As I settle into a poolside cabana, stretching out my legs on the plush lounge chair after a long 12-hour flight, I’m surprised to discover that despite the soaring temperatures — well over 100 degrees — I feel nothing but relaxed, sipping an ice-cold spritz atop the 22nd floor as the sun sets over the city of Dubai. This is the kind of luxury one quickly becomes accustomed to in the city of gold. Known for its extravagance and decadence, Dubai inspires immediate awe and wonder, yet it is the city’s evolving wellness scene that offers a more restorative way to discover the destination.
Savvy travelers have long been drawn to one of the seven Emirates to indulge in a life of richness. A global hub, Dubai attracts a wide range of visitors — from those accustomed to a lavish lifestyle to international business leaders and adventure seekers. Yet a new wave of interest is taking center stage, as wellness offerings become seamlessly woven into the city's luxury landscape, delivering a deeper kind of internal wealth. Hotels like Atlantis, The Palm, and Atlantis The Royal are enticing travelers to linger longer and look beyond the glitz and glamour.
