WSOP Paradise 2026 Schedule & Baha Mar Bahamas Guide

Baha Mar Resort Nassau is the Caribbean’s largest and most lavish integrated resort complex, and the new home of WSOP Paradise from December 2026. Set on Cable Beach in Nassau, The Bahamas , the $4.2 billion development spans 1,000 acres of tropical coastline and brings together three of the world’s most recognised hotel brands under one roof. Its 100,000 square foot casino - the largest in the Caribbean - has already hosted the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and PokerStars Players Championship, and WSOP Paradise’s move from Atlantis Paradise Island to Baha Mar for its fourth edition signals the resort’s arrival as the Bahamas’ top tournament destination.

Venue Features & Environment

• 100,000 sq ft Casino Floor: The Baha Mar Casino operates 119 live tables across 18 game types, alongside more than 1,100 slot machines and a dedicated poker salon with private high-limit rooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the turquoise waters of Cable Beach make it one of the most visually striking casino environments anywhere in the world.
• Three Iconic Hotel Brands: Accommodation across the resort is split between the Rosewood Baha Mar, SLS Baha Mar, and Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, combining for over 2,200 rooms and suites. Players can choose between ultra-luxury, boutique, and modern upscale depending on preference, with all three properties offering direct resort access.
• Convention & Event Space: Over 300,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space - including a dedicated convention centre - gives the resort the infrastructure to run large-field tournament series independently of the main casino floor, a key factor in WSOP Paradise’s decision to relocate from Atlantis.
• Baha Bay Water Park & The Pavilion: The resort’s Baha Bay water park includes The Pavilion, a beachside gaming retreat that extends the casino experience outdoors - one of the few places in the world where you can play table games steps from the ocean.

The Player Experience

Baha Mar is a self-contained destination on a scale that few poker venues anywhere can match. Between sessions, players have access to more than 45 restaurants, bars, and lounges, nine outdoor pools, the 30,000 sq ft ESPA spa, a Jack Nicklaus Signature par-72 golf course, a championship tennis and pickleball centre, and the Baha Bay water park. The resort’s more modern and streamlined layout - compared to the sprawling, multi-tower Atlantis - means less time walking and more time at the table or relaxing.

The WSOP Paradise series debuted in 2023 and has grown rapidly, with its $25,000 Super Main Event generating a $72.3 million prize pool in 2025 - one of the largest live poker prize pools ever assembled outside the WSOP Main Event itself. The move to Baha Mar for December 2026 reflects the series’ expansion ambitions, with the resort’s convention infrastructure capable of supporting larger fields than WSOP Paradise has ever seen. The resort has also previously hosted the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and PokerStars Players Championship via the APPT -affiliated PokerStars Live brand, confirming its credentials as a major international tournament host.

Logistics & Access

📍 Address: Baha Mar Boulevard, Nassau, New Providence, The Bahamas.

✈️ Getting There: Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) is approximately 15 minutes from the resort by taxi or shuttle. The airport is served by direct flights from major US hubs including Miami, New York , Atlanta, and Charlotte, with connecting options from Europe and beyond. Many players flying from Asia route through Miami or New York.

🌴 Reporter’s Tip: Book accommodation at Baha Mar itself well in advance for WSOP Paradise - the resort fills quickly once the series is announced and nearby off-property options are limited on Cable Beach. The Grand Hyatt tends to offer the most accessible rates of the three hotels while still providing full resort access. US citizens do not require a visa for The Bahamas.
