Atlantis Paradise Island Just Unveiled a Wave of New Eateries, Including a Thai Pop-Up by a Global Star Chef

By: Caitlin Sullivan - May 12, 2025 - 2:55 pm

It’s already home to more restaurants by Michelin-starred chefs than anywhere else in the whole Caribbean. Now Atlantis Paradise Island is upping its culinary game yet again, fresh off the third edition of its Nassau Paradise Island Wine and Food Festival. 

Paradise Island’s signature resort  is expanding its culinary offerings with a slate of new restaurants and dining experiences rolling out this spring and summer, some of which are already open. 

So what’s new at Atlantis? 

The Bahamas resort has announced the debut of several new concepts, including two full-scale restaurants, a summer dinner pop-up from a globally renowned chef, and expanded beachfront dining options—part of a wider refresh of its already outstanding culinary portfolio, something we enjoyed on our recent visit to the resort, including new additions like Michael White’s Paranza and the new Mediterranean-inspired Silan inside the Atlantis Casino. 

Claudio’s Bahamas Is Opening This Month, With a Taste of Greenport

Set above the Water’s Edge Lagoon, Claudio’s Bahamas will mark the first international outpost of the popular Claudio’s waterfront restaurant in Greenport, New York. Designed with nautical flair—complete with colorful fiberglass sailboats named after Caribbean cocktails—the restaurant will offer indoor and outdoor seating with sweeping views of Atlantis’ Royal Towers.

The menu is seafood-focused and family-friendly, with dishes like Conch Fritters, Cracked Lobster, and Tuna Tartare Nachos. The cocktail list includes Caribbean-inspired drinks like the Coral Sands and Junkanoo Punch. Claudio’s will be open from breakfast through late-night dining.

Coming in May, Atlantis will host Kò Sà-Wăn, a limited-time dinner pop-up at The Cove’s Perch restaurant.
