Take a Deeper Dive Into Atlantis, Paradise Island

At Atlantis, Paradise Island, a 170-acre island vacation destination in The Bahamas, your clients can relax or seek adventure in so many different settings that a one-week stay might not be long enough for them to do everything they have their hearts set on. Such abundance of choice is one of many reasons why the resort complex reports a 35 percent customer repeat rate. It's also why travel advisors would serve themselves and their clients well by taking a moment to learn about or reacquaint themselves with some of Atlantis' top draws.

Interwoven within the lush tropical resort complex are 141 acres of water attractions, including a mile-long lazy river and over eight breathtaking waterslides, such as The Leap of Faith, which plunges guests vertically down 60 feet into a see-through tube that takes them through a lagoon filled with sharks. There are also 11 pools scattered throughout the leafy green property, and at its edges are four white-sand beaches offering splendid vistas. Atlantis has ranked among TripAdvisors' top 25 Amusement Parks & Water Parks in the World.

Altogether Atlantis comprises six separate hotels, each with its own pool and a distinct personality - ranging from energetic to serene, from laidback and casual to sophisticated and exclusive. Some accommodations come with kitchenettes (ideal for families), and some are like entire condos and have a residential feel. Your clients can choose a hotel in the thick of the action near the casino, on the tranquil edges of the property or near the marina. Price categories include luxury, deluxe, moderate and value. Learn about each hotel to tailor a perfect stay.

Atlantis is home to the largest open-air marine habitat, encompassing 14 lagoons, eight million gallons of ocean water and more than 50,000 aquatic animals representing over 250 marine species. Large windows and transparent tunnels allow guests to meander through and around the different habitats to view sharks, rays, barracuda, piranha and eels in a series of lagoons, for example, or to watch French angelfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish and squirrelfish in another.

Guests can snorkel in the protective, enclosed environment of Atlantis' Ruins Lagoon, where they will see over 20,000 deep reef and pelagic fish, or they can explore the crystalline waters off the property's Cove Beach. Scuba excursions can be arranged to sites like the Lost Blue Hole and Tongue of the Ocean.

Activities like yoga and Pilates are available on property, along with a fully equipped, 10,000-square-foot fitness center. For the ultimate in relaxation, try Atlantis' award-winning Mandara Spa.

The Ocean Club Golf Course, designed by Tom Weiskopf, is an 18-hole par 72 championship course situated on a peninsula within the development. It affords golfers a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea, along with crosswinds for a playful challenge.

Atlantis brings the excitement of a Las Vegas casino to The Bahamas, with 85 gaming tables and 700 of the latest slot machines. The table games include Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, Roulette, Let It Ride and Ultimate Texas Hold'em.

There are 19 bars serving premium cocktails throughout the resort and 21 restaurants offering tempting fare, including Fish by Master Chef José Andrés and Nobu by celebrated Japanese Chef Nobu Matsuhisa.
