Atlantis Paradise Island is an ocean-themed resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. It is built around Aquaventure, a 62-hectare (154-acre) waterscape.

The property was originally part of the Paradise Island Hotel and Casino, which opened in 1968. It was owned by Resorts International. The property’s name was changed to Atlantis when The Royal Towers was built. On March 28, 2007, a 600-suite luxury hotel named The Cove Atlantis opened on Paradise Island. In October 2014, Atlantis, Paradise Island became a member of Marriott Bonvoy, a loyalty program for guests to earn Marriott Bonvoy points at Atlantis.

The Mayan Temple is an attraction at Atlantis Paradise Island, with a height of over six stories. The structure features a series of water rides, including the Leap of Faith, an 18-meter (60 ft) near-vertical plunge that sends riders through a clear acrylic tunnel submerged in a shark-filled lagoon.

The Rapid River

The Rapid River is a 1.6-kilometer (1 mi) water ride including waves, artificial tidal surges, rapids, and environmental effects such as steam, special lighting, and waterfalls. The Falls and the Drop water coasters are accessible from The Rapid River without the guest needing to leave their inner tube. The Rapid River has changed only slightly since its 2007 opening, with an optional rapids waterway closing.
