Atlantis Marina Village: A History 

Like much of Paradise Island, the origins of Atlantis Bahamas and Marina Village Atlantis date back to the second half of the 20th century. In the late 1960s, the first hotels began appearing on the island, and in 1988, Atlantis opened its doors to the world. 

Over the last 30 years, Atlantis Paradise Island has seen various additions, from the grand opening of the Cove and the Reef in 2007 to updates to Aquaventure in 2008. Marina Village Atlantis opened in 2005.  

The boats that frequent the Atlantis Marina today are massive.

Atlantis Marina Shopping Options

Today, Marina Village Atlantis is one of the most expansive shopping areas in the Nassau area, featuring products from luxury brands, local artists, and just about everything in between. 

Luxury Shopping

You’ll find quite a few upscale boutiques in the Marina Village Atlantis area. In the village itself, you can shop at Calypso Carousel for trendy, upscale fashion, at A La Plage for fashionable resort wear, and at Dooney & Bourke for all your leather needs. Kay’s Fine Jewelry and other nearby jewelers offer rings, necklaces, bracelets, and just about any other accessory you’re craving. 

Past the village and farther in Atlantis Bahamas, you’ll find Crystal Courts Shops. Unlike the Atlantis Marina, all of these stores are air-conditioned and completely enclosed. With shops like Cartier, Gucci, and Versace in close proximity to the Atlantis casino, it’s the perfect place to try your luck and take home a big (duty-free) purchase, if you win.

Our Travel Guide Suggests…

Enjoy the comfort food at Marina Village Atlantis, but don’t go there to sample Bahamian dishes. You can enjoy cheaper and fresh-out-of-the-water food at places that locals frequent, like Potters Cay, which is a short 15-minute walk over the road bridge which connects Paradise Island with Nassau!
