DP World to manage logistics for Atlantis Dubai resorts

Atlantis Dubai has partnered with DP World for the supply and delivery of more than 60,000 products sourced from 70 countries.

 

This will see two of Dubai’s flagship luxury resorts – Atlantis, The Palm and Atlantis The Royal – receive daily deliveries ranging from fresh produce to speciality goods, with DP World using advanced logistics technology to ensure items arrive on time and in optimal condition.

 

The arrangement covers gourmet ingredients for some of the resorts’ high-profile dining concepts, including the upcoming Italian-American restaurant Carbone, opening at Atlantis The Royal on 6 October, Nobu by the Beach and the Michelin-starred Dinner by Heston Blumenthal.

 

Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO of DP World GCC, noted that luxury hospitality supply chains are particularly complex, with exceptionally high standards to maintain. 

 

For Atlantis, the partnership provides an opportunity to streamline operations.

“This allows us to remain focused on what matters most: our guests,” said Paul Baker, President of Atlantis, Kerzner International, which manages both resorts. 

Baker also added that the agreement supports the group’s long-term regional growth, referencing plans announced in 2023 for at least four additional Atlantis properties, including developments in the Middle East.

 

Looking ahead, Atlantis Dubai and DP World are exploring ways to extend the partnership into broader procurement and supply chain solutions. The deal also underlines DP World’s expanding role within the hospitality sector, where logistics capabilities are an increasingly valuable asset.

 

The importance of robust supply chains has drawn attention across the UAE’s hospitality landscape. In Ras Al Khaimah, for instance, a surge in hotel construction is expected to nearly double the emirate’s room inventory by 2030, yet gaps in support services are already emerging. 

 

The fifth edition of the RAK Investment Pulse Report, released in June by Stirling Hospitality Advisors, highlighted the need for additional food and beverage supply networks, as well as essentials such as staff housing and laundry facilities. 

 

Even basics like bottled water and baked goods require greater supply chain resilience to sustain the pace of growth.
