Atlantis Paradise Island Unveils $150 Million Resort-Wide Renovation

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas — Atlantis Paradise Island, an oceanside resort located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, has completed a $150 million resort-wide transformation, including updates to the casino, guest rooms, restaurants and lounges.

The resort unveiled refashioned guest rooms at The Royal, Atlantis’ iconic towers; an entirely redefined Atlantis Casino; and Paranza, a new restaurant at The Cove. The updates emulate the ethos of Atlantis and include custom fixtures and design details evocative of the ocean and ecosystems found throughout the Bahamas. Other additions include Bar Sol, Cleito’s private gaming, Silan, Perch, the Caribbean’s first Shake Shack, Fieldtrip, Cartier, Thistle, and coming soon, Christian Louboutin and Paradise Links mini-golf course.

“Atlantis continuously elevates the guest experience, and recent developments at The Royal, Paranza and the Atlantis Casino provide guests with upgraded, modern touches while retaining the resort’s integral identity that visitors know and love,” said Audrey Oswell, president and managing director of Atlantis. “Atlantis’ experiential-driven programming allows our guests and visitors to create lifelong memories while visiting the resort and the Bahamas. The new designs throughout Atlantis demonstrate our commitment to providing an unsurpassed vacation experience.”

Meetings and Events

The resort boasts over 500,000 square feet of event space, including 300,000 square feet of outdoor event space. Groups can select from 21 outdoor function spaces that integrate Atlantis’ waterscape, marine habitats and beaches.

The various ballrooms offer more than 50,000 square feet of indoor meeting space for groups of up to 4,000.

The resort’s five boardrooms offer layouts that can accommodate various conference sizes. Each executive boardroom features floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the gardens or the Caribbean.

Complete Transformation of The Royal

Atlantis has five unique lodging options: the newly renovated towers of The Royal; the family-friendly ambiance at The Coral; water-side villas at Harborside Resort; all-suite luxury accommodations at The Cove; and residential-style living at The Reef.

The Royal, a 1,201-room hotel and home to the Atlantis Casino underwent a multimillion-dollar transformation, including fully refashioned guestrooms.

The guest room redesign transports guests to the serenity of the white sand beaches of the Bahamas, with the Royal rooms’ breathtaking Caribbean views as the focal point. The cool, calming shades of blue and white alongside neutral beechwood provide a peaceful retreat for travelers to relax and unwind. The Royal has 120 suites, including 10 Grand Suites, four Presidential Suites and three Royal Suites, all echoing the redesign of the guest rooms. The suites feature richer, deeper colors to add depth, with bold teals and sage greens providing an elegant touch to the guest experience.

Redefined Atlantis Casino Introduces a New Look and Bar Sol

The 85-table, 700-game casino is home to four glass sculptures by artist Dale Chihuly. The new design interacts harmoniously with light and space by re-lighting the glass sculptures and minimizing the surrounding structure.

The casino features custom carpet and updated light features that provide a modern yet classic feel. The recognizable murals throughout the casino have been artfully restored, while the ceilings, previously covered by canopies, are now open, creating a more spacious and airier atmosphere.

The central Moon Bar inside the casino has been upgraded with a circular deck, allowing guests to take a break from the action or step up to overlook the casino floor.

The Atlantis Casino recently opened Bar Sol, which offers a stylish and sophisticated atmosphere where guests can enjoy a craft cocktail and dance beneath a raised stage and DJ booth during the bar’s nightly live music performances. The centerpiece of Bar Sol is a restored Chihuly chandelier that exudes warm gold hues.

The Atlantis Casino is also home to several of the resort’s finest dining options, including Nobu and Silan, the new restaurant by James Beard Award-winning chef Alon Shaya.

Michelin-Starred Chef Helms Paranza

The newest dining option is Paranza by Michelin-starred chef Michael White. Award-winning design studio Jeffrey Beers International designed it in collaboration with Tony Tompkins. The interior design was inspired by the blue waters and white sand beaches of the Bahamas and the Italian coastline, complementing Chef White’s approachable and unfussy take on fine dining.

A winding path leads to the warmly lit patio of the restaurant, nestled under a wooden pergola and opening into Paranza’s main dining area. The custom space features hand-blown glass, antique mirrors and iron arches. The bar area showcases a temperature-controlled dual-purpose wine wall that is the focal point of the private dining room’s entryway. The private dining room features oversized, seashell-shaped brass light fixtures and custom design elements.
