The resort’s waterpark, Aquaventure, opened in 2008.

Atlantis Paradise Island

In the 1960s, developers began transforming the Nassau area from a quiet British colony into a world-renowned travel destination. Atlantis Bahamas opened in one of these development cycles, albeit a bit later in 1988.

Nearby Paradise Island also underwent a similar period of growth. Previously known as Hog Island, the island became one of the most popular resort destinations in the world in a matter of decades. Today, a bridge connects the two islands, allowing travelers to explore the historic sites of Nassau while staying in modern comfort on Paradise Island.

Since opening in 1988, Atlantis Paradise Island has seen numerous expansions and renovations.

While day passes are an appealing option, they’re not cheap at Atlantis Bahamas. For the price a family would pay to enter the resort for the afternoon, you could easily save money by staying at one of the cheaper on-site accommodation options like The Coral.
