Royal Caribbean International has long been a pioneer in crafting unforgettable cruise experiences, and their latest venture, the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, promises to elevate the concept of private destinations. Set to open in December 2025, this 17-acre retreat will offer a harmonious blend of Bahamian culture, stunning landscapes, and luxurious amenities on the western end of Paradise Island in Nassau. Guests visiting Nassau aboard Royal Caribbean ships can look forward to this exclusive excursion, tailored to provide a one-of-a-kind getaway.
The Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will feature two pristine beaches, three seaside grills, and over 40 rentable cabanas, blending Bahamian flair with modern comforts. For added convenience, guests will be transported to and from the beach club via water taxis, enhancing the sense of exclusivity from the moment they step ashore.
At the heart of the club’s appeal is its focus on unique experiences. One standout attraction is The Floating Flamingo, touted as the world’s largest swim-up bar. This feature alone sets a new benchmark for beachside luxury, allowing guests to sip their favorite drinks while immersed in the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas.
Three Zones, Infinite Fun
Much like its flagship private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay, the Royal Beach Club is designed with distinct zones to cater to every traveler’s preference:
Family Beach Zone
Families can enjoy the zero-entry pool aptly named The Shallow End, perfect for young ones to splash around safely. This zone offers a variety of games like cornhole, paddleball, and oversized tumbling tower blocks. For an unforgettable family treat, the Ultimate Family Cabana stands out with its two-story design, featuring a slide, a whirlpool, a private bathroom, and even a frozen drink machine.
Party Cove Zone
For those looking for lively energy, the Party Cove Zone is where the fun never stops. Anchored by The Floating Flamingo, the swim-up bar promises an unmatched beachfront party experience. With an infinity pool, live DJ music, and a VIP section complete with poolside service, this zone is set to be the go-to spot for revelers.
Chill Beach Zone
Guests seeking serenity can head to Chill Beach, where relaxation and Caribbean culture converge. Whether it’s lounging by The Deep End pool or shopping for handmade crafts at local artisan huts, this zone offers a more laid-back vibe. Guests can savor island-inspired delicacies such as grilled shrimp skewers and fire engine fritters, making it a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Royal Caribbean is already setting its sights on expanding the Royal Beach Club concept. By 2026, a second beach club will debut in Cozumel, Mexico, followed by a third in Vanuatu, located in the South Pacific. Additionally, a new Perfect Day destination is slated to open in Costa Maya, Mexico by 2027, further diversifying Royal Caribbean’s portfolio of exclusive locales.
Unlike the Perfect Day destinations, access to the Royal Beach Club will require a purchased ticket. Guests can choose an all-inclusive day pass or opt to rent a cabana. Reservations will be available starting in spring 2025, allowing cruisers to plan their experience well in advance.
Royal Caribbean’s commitment to blending local culture with luxurious amenities shines through in the design of the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island. By offering something for everyone whether it’s adventure, relaxation, or immersive cultural experiences the cruise line ensures that this private destination will leave guests with memories to cherish.
As December approaches, anticipation builds for this innovative take on beachside luxury. With its focus on creating distinct zones, celebrating Bahamian traditions, and introducing world-first features like The Floating Flamingo, the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is poised to become a must-visit destination for Royal Caribbean guests.
