Summer is upon us — and yet we still long for the white sand beaches and serene blue waters of an idyllic destination far away. The beloved luxury Bahamas getaway, Atlantis Paradise Island is set to host a series of lifestyle events exclusively for guests to create unforgettable moments during these upcoming months.
An inspirational homage to the longest day of the season, Atlantis’ Summer Solstice festivities will begin June 25th (and continue on July 9th and Aug. 13th) with bespoke experiences at the iconic Cove pool. From dawn to dusk, signature cocktails and indulging bites will be served with live art and dazzling performances to behold. 
It kicks off June 25th with Saturday afternoon’s “Solstice” event, which will welcome guests of The Cove with the Bahamian spirit of vibrant Caribbean flavors, sounds and sun kissed moments poolside. Once the sun sets, the “Sizzle” moonlit soirée brings lively island rhythms, grilled delights and curated cocktails under the stars.
The Summer Solstice series resumes on July 9th with the daytime “C’est La Vie” celebration complemented by champagne cocktails, decadent treats and carefree Bahamian vibes. An Alchemist bar awaits at nightfall: the mystical “Zodiac” event serves up magical concoctions inspired by the zodiacs with theatre worthy bartending tricks at the swanky poolside lounge.
As the climax of summer arrives, poolside pampering will continue on August 13th as “Spritz” opens a pop up boutique alongside live performances and champagne surprises. “Shangri La” reserves the evening for guests to be transported to another starlight Eden; Eastern-inspired flavor and flair, including sake cocktails and seductive sushi, will be presented by modern day Geisha’s accompanied by live entertainment. 
In the paradise of Atlantis, the music is also making waves this summer. Grammy Award-winning R&B singer Ashanti and five-time Grammy nominated Robin Thicke will jump start the Summer Concert Series on July 16th followed by Country Week in late August featuring Jake Owen on the 20th and Grammy Award-winning group Little Big Town on the 27th. 
For those who prefer to travel for the holidays, Atlantis prepares legendary summer celebrations – 4th of July festivities on the Royal Deck will be in full swing with classic fair games, food eating contests and an awe-inspiring fireworks display after sunset. Labor Day weekend brings high level sporting events including The Big 3 – Ice Cube’s basketball tournament, not to be missed.
No matter when you travel to the shores of Atlantis this season, a variety of fun-filled, sun-soaked experiences will await.
