Prince William and Kate Middleton are wrapping up their Caribbean tour with a stay in a swanky penthouse suite.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in The Bahamas on Thursday for their final stop and stayed at The Cove at the Atlantis Bahamas Resort before returning home Saturday night, a representative for the property confirms to PEOPLE.

Atlantis is a massive, multi-part destination located on Paradise Island, about 180 miles off the Florida coast and made up of The Cove, The Royal, The Reef, The Coral and the Harborside Resort hotels.

William and Kate stayed in the Penthouse Suite at The Cove, which is the most refined lodging offering on site and is touted as being "immaculately designed to provide guests with luxury, sensuality, and white-glove Bahamian service."

The multi-room suite includes a living room, formal dining room, three bedroom suites, and a separate lounge and study all with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea.

One enters the 4,830-square-foot suite via a pair of grand double doors and is greeted by stone floors, ornately papered walls and floor-to-ceiling windows. The luxurious bathrooms are completely clad in marble and feature a freestanding soaking tub set against the wall of glass.

After arriving in The Bahamas on Thursday, the couple received a ceremonial welcome before attending a meeting with Bahamas' Prime Minister Philip Davis. The Duke and Duchess were presented with a bouquet of flowers at the foot of the Royal Air Force Voyager jet by 8-year-old local Aniah Moss.

On Friday, William and Kate were seen huddled under umbrellas as they arrived at a local school for their first outing of the day. The couple was greeted by a "Guard of Honor" of schoolchildren, the Minister of Education, Glenys Hanna-Martin, and the school's principal, Ricardo Rolle before visiting an assembly area where children from Sybil Strachan and other local schools gathered.

The couple was entertained by a performance from the school choir and another Rake n' Scrape band. (Rake n' Scrape music originates from the musical traditions of the Turks and Caicos Islands, whose people brought it to The Bahamas between the 1920s and 1940s.)

William and Kate also visited a classroom of students and teachers to discuss their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kate gave a speech during the outing as well, telling the students, "I hope you didn't get too wet coming here and apologies for bringing the British weather with us!"
