There will be a need to travel because the Atlantis is located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Called the Atlantis Paradise Island, this vacation resort has so much to offer and so many activities that it's probably one of the only resorts in the world where you'll need a map to even get around!

There will be a need to travel because the Atlantis is located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Called the Atlantis Paradise Island, this vacation resort has so much to offer and so many activities that it's probably one of the only resorts in the world where you'll need a map to even get around!
Atlantis Paradise Island is by far the biggest resort in the Bahamas. Located on New Providence Island, the word "resort" barely does it justice; Atlantis is a combination of amusement park, water park, casino, spa, beach all rolled into one sparkling and gigantic package. There are so many lagoons, water features, walk-through aquariums and waterfalls that it's considered the largest marine habitat in the world. With over 2,700 hotel rooms and villas, there are a variety of accommodation choices in three large hotels and a villa complex. Facilities at Atlantis include water slides; a kid's club; special teen activities; a dozen or so bars; numerous restaurants; a theater; a sports club; a spa; and a casino.
The great draw for kids is the waterslides, particularly the huge Mayan Temple Slides. These can keep them occupied for hours. One important tip: Make sure everyone has swimsuits without metal rivets, zippers, studs, etc. These are not allowed on the slides, and you'll be charged a fortune to buy an acceptable swimsuit at the resort. The Atlantis Kids Club has a variety of options for children aged 3 through 12, so your kids can be safe and supervised while they have fun, and while you hit the more grownup entertainment.
There is plenty for guests to do and see, whether they want to relax or be more active. The Aquaventure waterscape opened in 2007 and contains slides, lazy rivers, rapids, underground caverns and a rock climbing wall. There are other water parks at the Atlantis Paradise Island, such as The Current and The Power Tower. The Mayan Temple Slides at the Royal Towers are water slides, one of which is a clear tunnel that goes through a lagoon filled with sharks.
The Dig is a delightful attraction for people interested in marine life. It contains various aquariums located underneath the lobby at the Royal Towers and is the largest open-air marine environment in the world. Species on view include sharks, manta rays, jellyfish, stingrays and barracudas.
There is world class dining, superior customer service all around, personalized service and amenities; there is truly nothing that you would want at a resort that you could not find at the Atlantis. It is easily the most fun-filled and action packed resort on all of the Bahamas, and this is why it is the number one resort for vacationers who travel to the Bahamas.
