Paradise Island is a resort island in the Bahamas, lying off the coast of New Providence and joined to the city of Nassau by a bridge. That short crossing makes it an easy day or evening out for anyone staying in Nassau, while also offering a self-contained holiday base for those who want to stay put.
What the island offers
The island is best known for the Atlantis Resort, whose luxury accommodations give the place much of its character. Visitors can expect beaches, water parks, and a range of upscale dining and shopping options, so the island suits a trip built around relaxing by the water and dining well.
Who it suits
- Beach lovers who want sand and sea within easy reach of a resort.
- Families looking for water parks and a varied day out.
- Couples and special-occasion travellers who value luxury accommodation and upscale restaurants.
- Visitors based in Nassau who want a change of scene for an afternoon or an evening.
Getting there
Because the island is connected to Nassau by bridge, reaching it from the city is straightforward and does not require a boat or flight. Those planning a visit should check current travel arrangements and the resort's own details before setting out, as these can change.
