Shopping: Bring some of The Bahamas home with you
From authentic handmade clothing, jewelry, and other souvenirs found at Nassau’s famous Straw Market to the high-end designer boutiques at Marina Village on Paradise Island, there’s shopping for every taste and budget. And don’t forget—Nassau Paradise Island is the closest duty-free destination to the US mainland.
Dining: Remember to pack your appetite
Nassau Paradise Island is home to some of the Caribbean’s top chefs and finest restaurants. Whether it’s the refined, old-world ambiance of the 5-star Graycliff Restaurant, the exotic delicacies of world-renowned Nobu, succulent steaks at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill, the chic elegance of Jean-George Vongerichten’s Dune, or the elbows-on-the-table feel of a family-style Italian dinner at Carmine's, the island is a diner's delight. But please… don’t leave without cracking into some succulent, world-famous Paradise Island conch.
Activities: Make a splash!
Bask on one of 17 pristine beaches and admire the emerald-green, turquoise, and crystal-blue waters. The island's warm waters are the clearest in the world, with visibility of over 200 feet! And the spectacular coral reefs provide superb snorkeling and diving.
Take a sunset cruise, charter a sailboat, or go deep-sea fishing. Spend a splash-happy day riding the waves, shooting the rapids, and banking the slides at Aquaventure, the new 63-acre water attraction at Atlantis Paradise Island.
Be sure to visit to Dolphin Cay at Atlantis, where you can frolic and swim alongside these amazing animals. This multimillion dollar state-of-the-art dolphin habitat is home to a pod of 28 Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Golfers can tee-off at an 18-hole PGA-quality golf course at the breathtaking One&Only Ocean Club Golf Course or at the Cable Beach Golf Course, known as the oldest 18-hole championship golf course in the Bahamas.
Casinos and nightlife: When the sun goes down, the action heats up
After a day of fun in the sun, there's no end to after-dark options—from pulsating nightclubs to laid-back beach bars and those famous island cocktails. Feeling lucky? Check out two of the largest Vegas-style casinos in the Caribbean. The magnificent Paradise Island Resort Casino, located at Atlantis Paradise Island, is the Caribbean’s largest, and the Crystal Palace Casino, located at the Wyndham Nassau Resort on Cable Beach, glitters and jangles with 24/7 gaming action.
