April 24th, 2025 – Atlantis Paradise Island, the Caribbean’s crown jewel of luxury travel, has unveiled its most ambitious reimagination to date—a sweeping evolution shaped by a $150 million transformation that deepens the resort’s reputation as a global lifestyle destination. The iconic resort now enters 2025 with a renewed focus on curated experiences that celebrate the intersection of refined indulgence, cultural flavor, and family-friendly adventure.

Anchoring this next chapter is a trio of pillars that continue to set Atlantis apart: groundbreaking culinary innovation, immersive entertainment, and elevated guest experiences, all designed to inspire connection, escapism, and discovery.

With more than 40 restaurants and lounges, Atlantis already holds the unofficial title of Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, but this year’s additions cement that claim. A highlight of the resort’s spring debut is the opening of Claudio’s, a dockside transplant from Long Island's North Fork, known for its East Coast charm, refreshing cocktails, and iconic Clams Casino.

Also new is Cocodrilo, the resort’s first dedicated Mexican restaurant, bringing coastal Baja flavors to the Bahamian shores in a laid-back, beachside setting. Guests can further indulge in Flamingo Brunch, a whimsical weekend event at Poseidon's Table complete with flamingo cutouts and playful fare, while Kò Sà-Wăn, a Thai dinner pop-up led by award-winning Chef Ian Kittichai, offers a refined tasting experience that fuses Bahamian seafood with Southeast Asian technique.

Other noteworthy openings include the Five Juice Bar at The Reef for health-conscious travelers, the family-friendly Good Lies Mini-Golf & Sports Bar, and the Instagram-ready Gong Cha bubble tea shop.

Guests seeking serenity can now retreat to The Edge Beach Reserve, a private enclave on the east edge of Atlantis Beach. With chaise lounges shaded under Bimini covers and access to a secluded beach bar, it’s a relaxed yet refined escape, curated for those craving space and seclusion.

For the spirited traveler, Good Lies Mini Golf and Lost City Escapes—a pair of themed escape rooms housed inside The Coral—bring family fun to new heights. These immersive puzzles, including the mythic Poseidon's Promise and pirate-inspired Blackbeard's Brig, blur the line between play and narrative, proving Atlantis is as much a playground for the imagination as it is for the body.

Sport also has its place in paradise. With the addition of two state-of-the-art pickleball courts, the resort continues to align itself with luxury wellness trends, inviting both amateurs and seasoned players to compete beneath swaying palms.

The Atlantis: LIVE Music Making Waves series kicks off on May 24 with a solo beachfront performance by John Legend, whose intimate set supports the Atlantis Blue Project Foundation (ABPF). Throughout the season, guests can expect the return of illusionist Rob Lake for a summer residency and a high-energy performance by Pitbull on July 5—complete with pyrotechnics and a nod to Independence Day festivities.

A complimentary Tribute Band Series at Bar Sol keeps the music flowing between headliners, with crowd-favorites like Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi) and Xtreme Queen performing throughout the summer.

Within Crystal Court Shoppes, retail therapy is equally elevated. The arrival of a Christian Louboutin boutique brings red soles and Riviera glamour to Paradise Island, while Maui Jim prepares to launch its new Color You Can Feel collection in spectacular fashion—with a floating pop-up aboard a branded yacht debuting just in time for Father’s Day.
