After getting the green light for construction in 2023, Royal Caribbean has confirmed the first-of-its-kind Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will open in December 2025, bringing the cruise line’s signature experiences to a private island in the Bahamas.
The first in the brand’s Royal Beach Club Collection, Paradise Island will offer cruisers an all-inclusive beach day, combining Bahamian culture and beaches with exclusive experiences.
Developed and operated in partnership with the Bahamian government, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will incorporate a local influence throughout the architectural design and experience.
Holidaymakers can expect the world’s largest swim-up bar alongside beaches and pools as well as places to eat local fare, shop artisan wares and enjoy live music.
Spanning almost seven hectares on the western side of Paradise Island, Royal Beach Club will offer the ultimate beach day across three zones: Family Beach, Chill Beach and Party Cove.
Family Beach is all about family-friendly games, rides, pools and a two-storey cabana for up to 12 guests; Chill Beach will offer all-day relaxation in pools, beaches and eateries; and Party Cove is where you’ll find The Floating Flamingo – the world’s largest swim-up bar with DJs and VIP service.
Holidaymakers can visit Royal Beach Club Paradise Island on Royal Caribbean cruises from six US cities: Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida; Cape Liberty (New York), New Jersey; Galveston, Texas, and Baltimore.
On the horizon, Royal Beach Club Cozumel will open in 2026 and Perfect Day Mexico will debut in 2027 alongside Labadee, Haiti.
RCI also confirmed to Karryon that a Royal Beach Club in Vanuatu is slated for construction – the first for the Oceania region.
All-inclusive day passes and cabanas for Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will go on sale in the Northern Hemisphere spring next year.
