About the resort:

Atlantis Paradise Island, a lush oceanside resort located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, is a dynamic destination that launched 25 years ago as a first-of-its-kind modern marvel of nature and engineering. Bahamian culture and the spirit of Atlantis’ more than 5,000 beloved team members are the heart and soul of this legendary resort. The immersive programming connects guests to the rich history, art, people, food, and festivities of the Bahamas, while remaining dedicated to sustainability and environmental conservation.  

Atlantis was developed and operated by Kerzner International, a leading international developer and operator of destination resorts, casinos, and luxury hotels. In 2012, the resort development was acquired by Brookfield Asset Management. Three of the resort’s five properties, Royal, Coral and Cove, participate in the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program. 

Throughout 2023 and 2024, Atlantis is rolling out bold multimillion-dollar renovations and exciting new partnerships throughout the resort – from a complete renovation of The Royal to a reimagined Atlantis Casino and much more. The resort's 25th anniversary launches a new chapter for the first-of-its-kind celebrated entertainment resort and destination, ensuring that travelers will continue to experience the best at Atlantis Paradise Island, with stunning accommodations, innovative cuisine and extraordinary experiences ranging from live musical performances and concerts to internationally acclaimed food and wine festivals.   

Atlantis features five unique lodging options with a total of 3,800+ rooms: the grand iconic towers of recently renovated The Royal, family-friendly accommodations at The Coral, water-side villas at Harborside Resort, all-suite luxury accommodations at The Cove, and residential-style accommodations with full kitchens at The Reef 

The resort is centered around Aquaventure, an innovative 141-acre waterscape of thrilling slides and river rides, fourteen pools, and five miles of white sand beaches. Home to the largest open-air marine habitat in the world, over 50,000 marine animals from 250 species make their home in natural ocean-fed environments.   

Guests of Atlantis Paradise Island have exclusive access to unforgettable eco-tourism themed excursions led by resort team members and local partners, including Pieces of 8 boat tours, Tropic Ocean Airways, Coco Bahama Air Seaplanes and Aquazeal yacht charters. Day trips to the Bahamas' out islands of Exuma and Eleuthera to swim with pigs and nurse sharks or feed iguanas in their natural habitats, are a few of many #BahamasAtHeart itineraries travelers can discover. 

Atlantis has committed to a meaningful connection with the ocean, marine life, sustainability, and environmental stewardship through its purpose-led efforts with Dolphin Cay and the Atlantis Blue Project Foundation (ABPF), the resort’s nonprofit 501©3 organization dedicated to saving sea species and their extraordinary habitats throughout the Bahamas and surrounding Caribbean seas.  

Dolphin Cay, the resort's 14-acre marine mammal habitat, is an advanced marine education center and animal rescue rehabilitation hospital whose first residents include 17 rescue dolphins from Hurricane Katrina. Visitors to Dolphin Cay can participate in creative, non-disruptive interactions that build real awareness, stir emotion, and help fund the resort's conservation efforts. Every visit to Dolphin Cay and each Atlantis Marine Adventure, such as snorkeling and SCUBA diving, benefits ABPF.
