Nassau Travel Guide

Atlantis Paradise Island is the Bahamas' most famous resort complex, on Paradise Island opposite Nassau, themed around the 'lost Atlantis' and fusing hotel, water park, aquarium and casino into a seaside fantasy city. Its core draw is the vast Aquaventure water park — winding lazy rivers, vertical-drop slides and a transparent tunnel through a shark lagoon — thrill for all ages. The marine exhibits and 'The Dig' pools house sharks, rays and Caribbean species, doubling as conservation education. Temple-like domes, fountains and sculptures build a mythic mood, and at night the casino, restaurants and shows glow. Even non-guests can buy day passes for the water park and marine areas, or stroll the public beach and marina to feel the luxury and buzz of the Caribbean's top resort.
