A seaside resort complex opened in 2018, themed on the legend of Atlantis, with more than 1,300 rooms, integrating hotel, water park, aquarium, live shows and dining. There are two core experiences: first, "The Lost Chambers" aquarium, where hammerhead sharks and rays cruise behind giant viewing windows like a deep-blue theater; second, the Aquaventure water park's Poseidon's Tower slide complex, where the most famous slide, the "shark crossing", plunges from the tower top through the shark tank. The resort's night lighting and underwater suites are key photo highlights for families and honeymooners; room rates fluctuate greatly in low season, and you can enter with just a single ticket for the water park or the aquarium.
