Located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, the

Atlantis Paradise Island offers so many activities

that it's probably one of the only resorts in the

world where you'll need a map to even get around!

The accommodations here range from moderately

priced to very expensive. Families on vacation

here should consider staying in the Coral Towers,

which is the most centrally located tower at

Atlantis. The Coral Towers is also closest to the

Predator Lagoon and the Lagoon Pool as well.

activities for guests of all ages. The eleven

pool areas, miles of sandy beach, and Neptune's

Water Toys Hut give guests access to many water

water sports which include water bikes, pedal

boats, kayaks, and even snorkeling equipment rentals.

Parents will adore

Atlantis has two different programs for children,

the Aqua Tots program and the Discovery Channel Camp.

The Aqua Tots program was designed for children 3

years old and up, while the discovery camp is for

kids 4 - 12 years old and ranges from a 1 hour

program to one that includes lunch and even dinner.

entire family will love. There is something here

to keep everyone occupied, from the beaches to fun

on the slides. If your family enjoys the best of fun

and the beach, Atlantis is something your whole

family will enjoy - and love coming back to.

Family Beach Vacation Ideas

All across the world, there are several locations you

can choose for your family beach vacation. Below,

you will find many different locations, and what

they will offer you and your family.

Maui

Throughout the West Coast of Maui, you'll have many

choices for your beach vacation. If you plan to

enjoy golf, the Kapalua Resort is a great choice,

as guests will receive 30% lower golf rates than

those who don't stay at the resort. The resort

hotel is located in a quiet setting surrounded by

two scenic golf courses and a large sandy beach
