The Bahamas’ most famed resort Atlantis Paradise Island announced a slate of new culinary offerings, luxury retail additions and expanded wellness programming, including a multimillion-dollar transformation of its Mandara Spa that is expected to debut in early 2026.
“Atlantis Paradise Island continues to raise the bar for Caribbean travel,” said Audrey Oswell, managing director of Atlantis Paradise Island. “With stand-out culinary options, an expanded roster of luxury retailers, and thoughtful new wellness enhancements, every facet of the resort is intentionally crafted to delight and inspire. Following the recent upgrades to The Royal Towers and the Atlantis Casino, these new developments further elevate and enrich the experiences our guests return for year after year.”
