There are worse ways to spend a vacation than relaxing on the white sand beaches, staying at any one of the best Paradise Island hotels in the Bahamas. As you lay on your beach bed with the swaying palms whistling above you, you hear the waves from the Atlantic coasting into the seashore and exotic migrating birds singing their sweet songs. The beachside bartender brings you an ice cold drink and you toast to happy times in the Bahamas.
The Bahamas are a collection of over 700 islands and cays that sit in the middle of three bodies of water; the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. A trip to Bahamas means a laid back mentality, turquoise waters, and western luxuries like the Paradise Island hotels and resorts we will break down in this article.
Paradise Island, formerly known as Hog Island, is a popular destination not only for its beautiful landscape but also its relative proximity to the country’s capital, Nassau. Paradise Island is actually connected to New Providence (the island Nassau is) by two bridges that cross the harbor of Nassau.
Paradise Island is also known for having some of the most majestic nature, exotic wildlife (Bahamas swimming pigs among other animals), and luxurious amenities for vacationers.
We will better prepare you for your stay on Paradise Island by listing a few of the top Paradise Island hotels and resorts. Browse all the hotels and beach resorts in Paradise Island with our Hotels in Nassau Guide.

Atlantis Paradise Island is perhaps the greatest known resort in the entire world. Hundreds of thousands of people flock to Atlantis from all around the world — some just to tour the resort and some to stay. It is the centerpiece of Paradise Island.
