Bahamas are an archipelago of 700 islands within easy sailing
distance from the Florida coast. Discovered in 1492 by Christopher
Columbus, they were first occupied by Lucayen Indians. They
were also an ideal hiding place for pirates, of which you
still hear legends about their undiscovered treasures. The
islands were under Spanish control, then English before
becoming independent on the July 10, 1973 and are now a
member of the Commonwealth.

The
theme of the resort is the legend of the Atlantide. You
will be totally immersed in a wild and authentic world of
a tropical jungle and a water paradise. Excessiveness is
the key word at Atlantis, which hosts the biggest ocean
aquarium in the world, with more than 10 million liters
of salt water, 20,000 species of the rarest of fish and
a huge tunnel under the lagoon for observing fauna. One
of the most famous attractions is an Indiana Jones-like
suspension bridge. The Royal Towers, the smartest of the
three resort hotels, resembles a fortress on water, with
impressive moats and an interior art gallery. Everything
is conceived to amaze you.
The Atlantis truly is a world apart.
