Best Hotels in Paradise Island, Bahamas

5 hotels · Updated July 2026

One&Only Ocean Club, A Private Club — Paradise Island
1 $$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.7

Built on the former Huntington Hartford estate, the Ocean Club is among the Caribbean's most storied properties — 35 acres of Versailles-inspired gardens cascading to a private stretch of beach on Paradise Island. The 107 rooms and suites are elegantly understated in a way that feels almost deliberate against the Atlantis spectacle next door. Dining at Dune by Jean-Georges is exceptional by any global standard.

Pink Sands, Harbour Island — Harbour Island
2 $$$ Upscale
★ 9.4

Pink Sands is the original Harbour Island boutique — a series of tropical cottages set in three acres of garden directly above the three-mile pink sand beach. The property's design mixes Bahamian vernacular with the kind of colour-saturated Caribbean eclecticism that feels effortless here. Sunrise breakfasts on the private beach terrace are among the Caribbean's most quietly magnificent experiences.

Atlantis, The Cove

The Cove is Atlantis's premium adults-only tower — a more sophisticated enclave within the iconic mega-resort complex that gives guests access to the full Atlantis experience (Aquaventure waterpark, casino, 20+ restaurants) while retreating to a quieter pool, upgraded rooms, and dedicated beach section. The best of both worlds for Atlantis seekers who want a touch more serenity.
