Atlantis Paradise Island to Offer Kosher Meals in the Bahamas in Time for Passover – Sponsored Content
Dates with repeating numbers – much like Jewish holidays that coincide with Christian holidays, like Passover/Easter or Hanukkah/Christmas – happen randomly and rather rarely.
In this case, 02/22/22 will be the last until January 11, 2111, which will not be for 89 years. To mark the occasion, Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas will be offering a two-day sale with 22% off the resort’s best available rate.
For these two days only—Feb. 22 or 23 – guests can book rates from $222 per night at one of four hotels in the Caribbean resort: The Coral, The Royal, The Cove or The Reef. This rate is valid for stays from 02/22/22 to 12/22/22, with a minimum of two nights. Atlantis email subscribers will have early access to the sale, starting February 17.

The deal comes just in time for Spring Break and Passover, which will include new exclusive kosher dining services available directly through Atlantis Paradise. What is more interesting is that the flight from Miami to Atlantis is less than 45 minutes, but a world apart. Spectacular views, the world’s largest outdoor marine habitat with over 50,000 aquatic animals, and soft, balmy beaches make Atlantis the perfect paradise for Bar-Mitzvas, weddings, and celebrations.
In a way, Atlantis Paradise Island’s approach to kashrut Jews goes back to the origins of its promoter, South African hotel entrepreneur Sol Kerzner. The son of Jewish immigrants from Russia who ran a chain of kosher hotels in Johannesburg, Kerzner, who died in March 2020 at the age of 84, acquired his first property in 1962; within two decades, he was already operating 30 luxury hotels across South Africa.
The Leap of Faith offers a daring and adventurous near-vertical drop from the top of the iconic Mayan temple. This 60-foot slide propels riders at incredible speeds through a clear acrylic tunnel immersed in a lagoon filled with amazing marine life.
In 1994, Kerzner purchased the bankrupt Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas from artist Merv Griffin. Over the next four years, it spent $800 million, as the station’s website claims, “to bring the myth and legend of the lost city of Atlantis to life.”
By the time Kerzner’s newly renovated resort opened, it had 1,200 rooms and the largest casino in the Caribbean. In 2007, the property, which overlooks tiny Paradise Island just across a narrow canal from Nassau, capital of the Bahamas, underwent a $1 billion expansion.
Ten years later, Atlantis began offering Jewish wedding packages, complete with a local rabbi and a decorated chuppah.
Atlantis now offers a new signature kosher dining service and experience, exclusively available for group events and entertaining. Inspired by the most popular culture, customs and cooking techniques in Israel and the region, Atlantis’ kosher dining service offers dishes through a contemporary lens, offering a range of classic and new dishes that highlight the power of cooking with simple, fresh ingredients.

Today, Atlantis Paradise Island offers a total of 3,805 rooms across its six distinct resort properties: The Cove, The Royal, The Reef, The Coral and Atlantis Marina.
And for kashrut-observant guests, the resort offers a selection of kosher meals for purchase, including in-room dining, with dietary restrictions submitted in advance.
The abyss begins with a dizzying 50-foot, near-vertical drop into total darkness inside the Power Tower. With a total length of 200 feet, this thrilling slide ends as guests splash through the waterfalls and into the Cenote – an underground lair of prehistoric fish.
Atlantis is one of the few resorts within an hour of the United States and offers a wealth of kosher options and life cycle religious events.
Guests will be able to access a kosher meal list to order before check-in, including a selection of soups, entrees (fish, chicken and beef) and desserts. Kosher meals are purchased from US-based vendors and are served on a sealed plate with individually wrapped cutlery. Each guest will be able to check and remove the packaging, ensuring that kashrut standards are met.
