1. Royal Beach Club Paradise Island – A New Era of Island Escapes
Set to open in December 2025, the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will redefine the Nassau beach day with its blend of Bahamian culture and modern comfort. Spanning 17 acres, this all-inclusive retreat offers two beaches, three pools, and distinct zones — Family Beach, Chill Beach, and Party Cove — each designed for a different island vibe.
Guests can unwind in shaded cabanas, lounge on day beds, or swim up to The Floating Flamingo — the world’s largest swim-up bar. At Paradise Grill, local cuisine takes center stage with favorites like Fire Engine Fritters, Bahamian Baked Mac & Cheese, and Vanilla Bundt Cake With Guava Sauce. Unlimited dining, tropical cocktails, Wi-Fi, water taxis, and entertainment are all included with day passes (available for booking now), making this one of the most anticipated new excursions in Nassau.
2. Atlantis Aquaventure & Marine Adventures
Atlantis Paradise Island remains a signature excursion for thrill-seekers and families. At Aquaventure Waterpark, guests can take on iconic slides such as the Leap of Faith, glide through shark tunnels or float along the mile-long Rapids River. Beyond the slides, visitors can explore marine habitats home to over 250 species, including stingrays, tropical fish and Caribbean reef sharks.
For animal lovers, Dolphin Cay offers interactive experiences where guests can swim, wade or paddleboard alongside dolphins and sea lions. Educational encounters focus on conservation, making it one of the most meaningful marine experiences in the Caribbean.
3. Baha Mar – Luxury Day Pass & Resort Experiences
Located on nearby Cable Beach, Baha Mar is a popular excursion booked from Paradise Island for travelers seeking upscale relaxation and resort access. Day passes to Baha Mar open the doors to sparkling pools, a pristine private beach, curated dining, beachfront lounges and even access to the largest casino in the Caribbean.
Guests can dine at chef-led restaurants, sip cocktails from oceanfront bars or indulge in spa treatments. With high-end shopping, golf and art installations, Baha Mar offers an indulgent counterpoint to the thrill of Atlantis and the all-inclusive ease of Royal Beach Club.
4. Paradise Island Beaches & Hidden Escapes
Beyond the resorts, Paradise Island is home to stretches of natural beauty, including Cabbage Beach, known for its powdery sand and rolling turquoise waves. Adventurous visitors can explore quiet shoreline paths, stop at local beach bars or book jet ski and parasailing rentals.
For a calmer escape, smaller coves along the northern coast offer quiet sunbathing, shell hunting and relaxed local eateries serving conch salad and coconut drinks. These informal stops offer a taste of Bahamian life away from resort walls.
