Paradise Island

Due to two footbridges connecting Nassau and this beautiful retreat, Paradise Island is the closest to New Providence. The Atlantis Bahamas is the island's focal point, with an oceanfront resort, a 24-hour casino, an aquarium, marine habitats, a private 18-hole golf course, and a marina. Aquaventure, the resort's 153-acre waterpark with lagoons, swimming pools, river rides, and waterslides, is popular with families.

Paradise Island is one of The Bahamas' most upscale resorts. Jewelers and designer stores may be found in Crystal Court Shops, as well as a wide variety of handicrafts and dining options in Marina Village. On the island, there are many beautiful places to visit, such as Versailles Gardens and French Cloister, Cabbage Beach, and Cove Beach.
