Atlantis Dubai is marking the third anniversary of its pioneering sustainability initiative, the Atlantis Atlas Project, by announcing a bold new commitment: 100% seafood traceability across its dining establishments. This announcement coincides with World Oceans Day on June 8th, a fitting occasion to highlight the resort's ongoing efforts to protect marine ecosystems and promote responsible tourism.
In a significant step towards transparency and sustainability, Atlantis Dubai has partnered with Seafood Souq, a UAE-based organization dedicated to establishing clear and accountable seafood supply chains. This collaboration began in 2022 and has already made notable strides. Seafood Souq’s innovative SFS Trace technology allows every piece of seafood served at Atlantis Dubai’s restaurants to be tracked from ocean to table, ensuring comprehensive insights into sourcing practices.
The SFS Trace system collects and audits detailed data on each seafood item, whether wild-caught or farmed. For wild-caught seafood, this includes information like the date of capture, fishing gear used, and the vessel's registration. For farmed seafood, the system tracks species, feed sources, and welfare standards. This data is then verified and compiled into a digital impact dashboard, which Atlantis Dubai uses to monitor and improve its procurement practices.
By August 2023, the traceability technology was fully operational at Atlantis Dubai, with regular quarterly audits ensuring compliance and data accuracy. By the end of 2023, 68.7% of the seafood served was traceable, rising to 90% by March 2024. Atlantis Dubai aims to achieve full traceability by December 2024, making it a leader in sustainable seafood sourcing in the region.
Since its launch, the Atlantis Atlas Project has spearheaded numerous initiatives to promote environmental stewardship and sustainability. Key achievements over the past year include:
Solar Energy: Installation of solar panels has saved 767 tonnes of CO2 emissions, equivalent to the carbon absorption of 15,435 trees.
Food Waste Reduction: Implementation of Winnow technology in buffet restaurants has cut edible food waste by 40%.
Waste Management: Recycling bins in all 1,544 guest rooms at Atlantis, The Palm, enhance waste segregation efforts.
Plastic Reduction: Transition to refillable pump bottles for amenities in guest rooms has diverted 3 million plastic tubes from landfills annually.
Water Bottle Replacement: Over 2.6 million single-use plastic bottles have been replaced with glass refillable bottles.
Educational Outreach: Introduction of new school programs at The Lost Chambers Aquarium has boosted attendance by 253% in 2023 compared to the previous year.
Inclusive Guest Experience: Atlantis Dubai became the first resort destination in the Eastern Hemisphere to earn the IBCCES Certified Autism Center™ Designation, enhancing accessibility for autistic and sensory-sensitive guests.
Soap Recycling: The UNISOAP UAE initiative has collected 70.7kg of discarded soap from the properties for recycling.
Atlantis Dubai’s efforts are not just about operational changes but also about fostering a culture of sustainability among guests and staff. The resort’s culinary and procurement teams work closely with Seafood Souq to select responsible suppliers, and future plans include allowing guests to scan a QR code to view the traceability score of their seafood dishes.
Fahim Al Qasimi, Co-Founder and Executive Chairperson of Seafood Souq, underscores the importance of this initiative, stating, “Traceability of seafood supply chains is crucial for food safety and ocean protection. We are proud to partner with Atlantis on this pioneering initiative, a first for the region.”
As Atlantis Dubai celebrates the third anniversary of the Atlantis Atlas Project, it doubles down on its commitment to sustainability. For every marine animal experience participated in by a guest on World Oceans Day and the following day, the resort will double its $1 USD contribution to support future conservation and education projects.

Manoli is set to open in early summer 2026, bringing the authentic flavours and spirit of the Greek islands to Miami’s Coconut Grove neighbourhood.
Led by Greek Chef Emmanouil Aslanoglou, the restaurant is rooted in traditional Greek culinary heritage while shaped by global experience across some of the world’s most acclaimed kitchens. Chef Aslanoglou’s journey spans Greece, the UK, Spain, and the United States, including roles at renowned establishments such as Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons and Arzak, as well as leadership positions in leading Greek restaurants.
Manoli is conceived as a table-first dining experience, where shared plates and communal eating reflect the warmth and hospitality of Greek culture. The restaurant features approximately 140 seats across indoor, outdoor, and bar spaces, designed as a neighbourhood destination that transitions seamlessly from daytime dining to lively evening gatherings.
The menu reflects a deep connection to Greek culinary tradition while embracing modern interpretation. Guests can begin with small plates such as Dolmades, Saganaki, Crispy Feta with thyme honey, Keftedes, Mediterranean Mussels, and Gyro Tacos made with Black Angus ribeye. A raw bar selection includes Bigeye Tuna Tartare, Beef Tartare, and seasonal oysters, alongside classic Avgolemono soup prepared with roasted chicken, egg, and lemon.
The offering expands into housemade pastas including Pastitsio, Makarounes, and Athenian Lobster, followed by grilled specialties such as Greek-style lamb chops, prime beef, Whole Branzino, and rotating fresh fish selections. Traditional sides like Lemon Potatoes, Horta Chicory, and hand-cut fries complete the experience.
A standout feature of the restaurant is its Dessert Trolley Service, designed to bring a theatrical, shared-dining finish to the meal. Tableside selections include Baklava, Profiteroles, Chocolate Cake, Crispy Cream Custard, and Yogurt with Preserves, along with warm Greek donuts served fresh from the kitchen.
The beverage program, titled Sober Souls Diaries, is curated by Greek Beverage Manager Fotis Mexi and draws inspiration from classical Greek tragedy, with cocktails such as Hybris, Eris, and Mira, alongside a curated selection of Greek wines and inventive mocktails.
Speaking about the concept, Chef Aslanoglou said, “Manoli is deeply personal to me. It reflects the way I grew up eating in Greece—food made with care and meant to be shared. I wanted to bring that feeling to Miami, where every table feels like home and every meal feels like a celebration.”
With its focus on authenticity, storytelling, and shared dining, Manoli aims to introduce a transportive Greek island experience to Miami, blending culture, cuisine, and hospitality into a cohesive neighbourhood destination.

As Tomorrowland prepares to return in 2026, Revel Travels is continuing its role as the exclusive official travel partner for India and the UAE, further strengthening a partnership that has developed steadily over the years.
Held in Boom, Tomorrowland has grown far beyond a music festival to become one of the world’s most recognised cultural experiences, bringing together music, large-scale stage productions, storytelling, and immersive entertainment. The 2026 edition will take place across two weekends, from July 17–19 and July 24–26.
For travellers from India and the UAE, Revel Travels plays a key role by offering official ticket access sourced directly from Tomorrowland. In a market where demand remains extremely high and ticket authenticity is often a concern, this official allocation gives travellers added confidence and reliability.
The company’s 4 Nights / 5 Days travel packages, and are designed as complete travel experiences rather than simple bookings. Guests can choose from multiple stay options, including the immersive DreamVille camping experience, centrally located hotels, and premium luxury stays such as Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp. The portfolio also includes exclusive private villas that are generally difficult to access for regular festival attendees.
At the premium end, the experience extends into luxury hospitality offerings with private villa buyouts, curated hosting environments, private boxes, and exclusive tables. These experiences can move into five-figure USD pricing, catering to travellers looking for privacy, elevated service, and premium festival access. Dedicated transfers, priority movement, and specialised pick-up and drop-off arrangements are also included for premium-zone guests.
A major focus of Revel Travels’ offering is creating a seamless journey for travellers. From visa support and round-the-clock on-ground assistance to personal delivery of Tomorrowland bracelets directly to hotels or DreamVille campsites, the company aims to simplify every stage of the experience.
Festival access is available through two pass categories, Full Madness Pass and Full Madness Comfort Pass, giving guests the option to choose between standard and upgraded entry experiences.
Speaking about the company’s approach, Sahil Wahid, Director, Revel Travel, said, “We've built our reputation on one simple promise, authentic access. Every ticket we provide comes directly from Tomorrowland through an official allocation, which removes the uncertainty that often surrounds high-demand global events. For our travellers, that assurance is as important as the experience itself.
We've always focused on simplifying what is otherwise a complex global experience. Tomorrowland is something people plan for years in advance. Our role is to ensure that once they decide to go, everything else, from access to on-ground execution, feels effortless and reliable.”
As global demand for Tomorrowland continues to grow, Revel Travels has positioned itself as more than a travel company, offering travellers curated access to one of the world’s most sought-after festival experiences.
