The Atlantis - Barbados - History of The Atlantis

The Atlantis Hotel located in Tent Bay, Bathsheba, St. Joseph was one of the first hotels on the East Coast, made possible by the new railway line to the East Coast (Belleplaine), which was completed in 1883. Prior to the railway, travelling across Barbados was difficult as the only mode of transport was horse and cart.

The hotel was first owned and operated by Emmeline McConney, and has over time changed hands several times - The late Mrs Enid Maxwell being the longest standing owner, who operated the hotel for over 40 years.

The Haynes family - Sir Richard Haynes, a prominent Barbadian, was the last owner and in 2008 sold the property to the new owners, Kirby/Warden families, who have just completed a full refurbishment of the property to get it through the next 100 years.
