NEWSOK! Travel: Stars Love the Bahamas!
April 21 2011, Published 12:12 p.m. ET
Oprah, Shakira and Johnny Depp are just a few big names with homes in the Bahamas. But they’re not the only A-listers who know the Caribbean islands offer the perfect getaway!
Mark Wahlberg recently took his whole family to hang out at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island, where the Aquaventure Water Park is a must for family time thanks to highspeed water slides, a milelong river ride and 11 pools. Denise Richards also visited earlier this month with her daughters, who checked out the slick new kids’ club, Atlantis Kids Adventures.
There, children can learn to cook, host a tea party or even play rock star for a day. Everyone from Denise to Justin Bieber has zipped into an Atlantis wetsuit for a unique one-on-one dolphin interaction at the resort’s Dolphin Cay. Take a look at atlantis.com for availability.
If staying in one place on vacation isn’t your thing, visit the Pirates of Nassau museum downtown (pirates-ofnassau.com) or party in a private cabana at Cain, the chic adults-only pool for guests of Atlantis’ top A-list hangout, The Cove. For the truly adventurous, don’t miss the opportunity to dive with wild reef sharks at Stuart Cove’s Aqua Adventures. (stuartcove.com)
