From the world’s longest lazy river to the tallest waterslide tower in the Americas, Perfect Day Mexico is set to wow Royal Caribbean cruisers when the exclusive beachfront destination opens on the Caribbean coast at Mahahual in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo in 2027.
Some of the never-seen-before features across seven neighbourhoods are the Loco Waterpark with 30-plus waterslides across five towers, including the almost 52m-tall Jaguar’s Peak – the highest in the Americas – with duelling slides. There’s even the world’s first sombrero slide, modelled after the Mexican hat, and the tallest family raft slide for up to six.
The all-ages Splash Cove will have the world’s longest lazy river for an hour-long float, complete with float-up bars and an adrenaline-pumping rapids section, plus a central 9,290sqm pool – one of more than 10 on site, and the brand’s largest Splashaway Bay concept.
The adults-only El Hideaway neighbourhood will have a zero-entry pool, swim-up bar, a 20-guest cabana and in-pool DJ, while the Costa Beach Club ups the exclusivity with beaches and premium features.
Cruisers can also enjoy the white-sand Chill Beach North and South and live music and dancing at Fiesta Plaza, which also has the world’s largest sombrero hat atop a bar.
In addition, there will be 12 regionally inspired cuisine options, 24 bars (including six swim-up bars) and other ways to experience Mexican culture.
Royal Caribbean President & CEO Michael Bayley said: “Perfect Day Mexico is bigger and bolder than anything we have done to date. This destination will be the ultimate vacation for families, and we cannot wait to welcome adventurers from around the world to Mexico for an experience only Royal Caribbean can provide.”
Perfect Day Mexico will welcome Western Caribbean itineraries sailing from Galveston, New Orleans and all Florida homeports. RCI itineraries featuring Perfect Day Mexico will become available to book from US autumn 2025.
