Claudine Keane 'hopes for a better 2023' as she parties among the mega rich with Robbie at the opening of Dubai's Atlantis The Royal

Claudine and Robbie Keane were among the mega rich who partied it up at the opening of Dubai’s Atlantis The Royal.

The Malahide natives joined Boyzone singer Ronan Keating and his wife Storm in the UAE for the spectacular party, which saw a private performance by Beyonce, who was reportedly paid $24M for the hour-long show.

Claudine, Ronan and Storm shared pics on their social media of the glamourous event as the foursome flew the flag for Ireland.

The mum-of-two stunned in a floor length strapless black gown with a slit at the side, while Storm wore a blue strapless jumpsuit, matching her look with gold shoes and earrings.

Claudine posed beside her football legend other half in front of the Nobu Dubai sign, and shared a video of the moment the celebrity restaurant was officially opened by model Kendall.

Earlier on Saturday, Claudine shared a letter titled The Royal Reveal, which shared guidelines for Saturday evening's event ahead of a private performance from Beyoncé.

“So excited for tonight @beyonce @atlantictheroyal,” she said.

Event organisers asked for no mobile phones to be at the event, but Claudine managed to sneak hers into the venue and shared some videos of Beyonce’s performance on Sunday as well as the magnificent fireworks display over the hotel.

Claudine appeared to be in good spirits just weeks after the death of her popular GAA broadcaster, uncle and godfather, Paudie Palmer, died after a road traffic incident in Innishannon, Co Cork, on December 29.

Captioning a picture of her and Robbie, she wrote: “After the year we have had I hope tonight is the start of a 2023 to remember @robbiekeane”.

Ronan, who wore a white suit for the event, also updated his followers, writing: “First night @AtlanticTheRoyal,”

“Such a laugh hanging with @RobbieKeane @Claudine Keane.

“Thanx to @KendallJenner @Drink818.”

Among the mega stars on the guest list included Kendall Jenner, who officially opened the new venue, as well as Liam Payne.

Payne arrived with his new girlfriend Kate Cassidy and they appeared as smitten as ever.

The former One Direction star, 29, cut a trendy figure in black trousers and a partially unbuttoned satin shirt, which he styled with a silver chain necklace.

His girlfriend Kate put on a busty display in a plunging green mini dress with an asymmetrical floating skirt.

Beyonce is staying at the luxury hotel's Royal Mansion room, which costs $100,000 a night.

“We have actually our Royal Mansion occupied today by Beyoncé, it is the most expensive, and, we believe, also the largest mansion in the world.

"It’s $100,000 a night to stay in the room, and it’s 11,000 square feet,” Atlantis Resorts Managing Director and Vice President Timothy Kelly told Arabian Business.

In addition to the size of the mansion, it also “has the capability of having 18 rooms attached to it,” Kelly said.

Her performance at Atlantis The Royal was her first in five years.

Atlantis The Royal is a 43-storey cantilevered building, will feature 231 luxury apartments, 693 hotel rooms and 102 suites, all of which offer views of the Arabian Sea and Palm Island.

The property has multiple pools, including 44 private infinity pools attached to suites and penthouses, and two adults-only pools. The resort will also boast a helipad, “fire breathing” fountains and a tank with 4,000 jellyfish – described as the largest in the world.

Bookings can now be made for dates starting February 10 with the Sky Terrace Suite which starts at a price tag of E4,300 per night.
