Basketball fans have a very good reason to make Paradise Island their Thanksgiving destination this year! The Battle 4 Atlantis returns to Atlantis Paradise Island from November 25–27, 2026, bringing some of the top college basketball programs in the country together for three days of exciting competition in one of the most incredible settings imaginable. Instead of spending Thanksgiving bundled up at home, picture yourself waking up at Harborside, enjoying a warm Bahamian morning, relaxing on the beach, or spending the day at Aquaventure, then heading over to watch exciting college basketball just steps away from your villa. Between games, you can enjoy the incredible restaurants, pools, beaches, marine habitats, Marina Village, and everything else Atlantis has to offer, making this much more than just a basketball trip. It’s the perfect combination of college basketball, sunshine, family, friends, and a Thanksgiving vacation in the Bahamas. Whether you’re a die-hard basketball fan looking to experience the tournament in person or simply want an unforgettable Thanksgiving getaway somewhere warm and beautiful, Battle 4 Atlantis is the perfect excuse to trade the traditional Thanksgiving routine for three days in Paradise.
