Adjacent to Nassau, the capital of Bahamas is the nirvana on earth island-vacation spot the Paradise Island. Renowned for its white sandy beaches, green and natural wonders of Mother Earth plus the glitz and glamour of casinos, bars and lounges Paradise Island is your personal comfort zone.

Paradise Island is connected by bridge to Nassau. Thus, a visit to Nassau is a visit to Paradise Island and vice versa. Tourism is at its best and high peak on the island with its sub-tropical and humid weather conditions an ideal get away from the freezing cold of winter in the Northern America region.

But, for your information, before this place was transformed into a world of bliss this is once an pig farm known as Hog Island until it was developed in 1959 by the British heir of supermarkets Huntington Hartford who built several landmarks including a casino and a resort which was made public in 1963.

Not until 1994 when hotel magnate Sol Kerzner bought the island and created what is a dream to many he made into reality with his version of man-made water park – the Atlantis Paradise Resort and Casino. His dream project was a success that it made Bahamas a capital tourist spot in the world.

At present, Atlantis Resort is one of the major landmarks in Paradise Island. But, the posh infrastructure has a lot more to offer than its mystical design. Water and land activities are popular leisure in the island coupled with some entertainment events. Indeed, Paradise Island is all-natural bliss with a twist of glitz and modern characteristic in harmony with the feisty Bahamians.
