| A Royal beach-day paradise

ROYAL Caribbean has offered a first glimpse at its debut Royal Beach Club, due to open in Dec 2025 on Paradise Island in the Bahamas (CW 23 Apr).

Spanning 17 acres on the western end of Paradise Island, the all-new Royal Beach Club will offer the “ultimate all-inclusive beach day” experience to vacationers, as well as locals, complete with pristine beaches, pools, and what is said to be the world’s largest swim-up bar.

With the purchase of a day pass, guests will enjoy access to all amenities, with everything included from the first water taxi ride to food and drinks.

Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will be divided into three zones, including Family Beach, designed for families of all ages and featuring a shallow pool, beach games, and the “ultimate family cabana” with a slide, whirlpool, frozen drink machine, and more.

The ‘Chill Beach Zone’ is perfect for those seeking all-day relaxation and to immerse themselves in Caribbean culture, while at Party Cove, adventurers can enjoy a live DJ, swim-up bar, and a VIP space with personal poolside service.

“The Royal Beach Club Collection is designed for every type of family and vacationer to get everything they want out of their ideal beach day – no matter the vibe they’re looking for,” President & Chief Executive Officer Michael Bayley said.

“With the first-of-its-kind Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, we continue to super-serve our guests with a tailored experience at one of our most highly visited destinations, building on nearly five decades of collaboration with the community and government of The Bahamas.”

Starting next year, Royal Caribbean guests can visit Royal Beach Club Paradise Island with a combination of voyages from six destinations, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral, Florida; Cape Liberty, New Jersey; Galveston, Texas, and Baltimore, Maryland.

The cruise line will reveal more details about the new destination in the coming months. JM
