Great Family Escape

Atlantis Paradise Island

A bustling fantasy world – part water park, entertainment complex, and beach oasis. The overriding theme here is water – for swimming, snorkeling, and observing marine life, as well as for mood and effect, in lagoons, caves, waterfalls, and several walk-through aquariums (touted as the largest artificial marine habitat in the world). The public areas are lavish, with fountains, glass sculptures, and gleaming shopping arcades.

Aquaventure is a non-stop water experience, consisting of thrilling new water slides, a mile-long river ride with high intensity rapids and wave surges, and never-before-seen special effects that add an extreme level of excitement to the overall experience, delivering a sensory journey unlike any other.

Dolphin Cay is an extraordinary 14-acre dolphin habitat where swimming with dolphins has been redefined. Few animals are known for having as much fun as the playful Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Whether you share in their playful shallow water antics or experience their speed and agility first-hand in the deeper waters, the dolphins of Atlantis welcome you to share in their fun.

No island vacation is complete without an afternoon spent relaxing in the warm tropical sun, and then plunging into the refreshing waters of a crystal clear swimming pool. At Atlantis, there are pools that satisfy every taste: the Royal Baths Pool, the Mayan Temple Pool, the Lagoon Pool, the River Pool, the Grotto Pool, and The Bath’s Pool. And the family can always enjoy the relaxing and scenic quarter-mile Lazy River Ride.
