Atlantis Bahamas

Atlantis, Paradise Island is a lush, oceanside resort located in The Bahamas. A dynamic destination that launched 20 years ago as a first-of-its-kind modern marvel of nature and engineering, Atlantis has embarked on a new chapter tied to a meaningful connection with the ocean, Bahamian culture and the spirit of the property's over 7,500 employees. The resort's new, immersive programming connects guests to the rich history, art, people, food and festivities of The Bahamas. Atlantis features five distinct properties, from the iconic Royal Towers to the original Beach and Coral Towers to the luxury properties, The Cove and The Reef. The Coral Towers will reopen in July, 2017 as a fully redesigned family escape with a new lobby, rooms, pool and amenities. The resort is built around Aquaventure, an innovative, 141-acre waterscape of thrilling slides and river rides, pools and 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 the ocean fed environments. From unparalleled meeting and convention space to Atlantis Marina and other resort amenities including Mandara Spa, Atlantis Kids Adventures and CRUSH, a cutting-edge teen club. The resort's 18-hole Tom Weiskopf designed golf course and Atlantis Casino are complemented by the property's dining options with celebrity chefs. Dolphin Cay, the resort's 14-acre marine mammal habitat, is a state-of-the-art education center and animal-rescue rehabilitation hospital whose first residents were rescue dolphins from Hurricane Katrina. Visitors can participate in creative, non-disruptive "interactions" that build real awareness and help fund the resort's conservation efforts. Through guest participation, over $5 million has been generated to support environmental conservation via the Atlantis Blue Project Foundation (ABPF), a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization.
