Atlantis is located on Paradise Island. Paradise Island is connected to Nassau, the capital city of
The Islands Of The Bahamas, by two bridges.
Paradise Island, located on the northern edge of Nassau (New Providence) the capital of the Bahamas,
is 826 acres, 4 -1/2 miles long and ¾ of a mile wide. Formerly known as Hog Island, Paradise Island
first became a tourist destination in 1921. In 1962, the Bahamian Parliament and commercial developers
were in agreement that the name Hog Island did not reflect the natural beauty and tourist appeal of
the island, and therefore deemed Paradise a more appropriate name for this oasis.
