Royal Beach Club Paradise Island

Set to debut in December 2025, the first-of-its-kind Royal Beach Club in The Bahamas will combine the stunning beaches of Nassau’s Paradise Island with Royal Caribbean’s signature experiences. With an all-inclusive day pass, guests can enjoy unlimited dining, drinks and amenities, from the world’s largest swim-up bar to three island-style eateries, Bahamian art installations, and live music.

Bookings for Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will become available in just a few weeks.

Royal Beach Club Cozumel

Featuring stunning beaches, pools with swim-up bars, cabanas, snorkelling, kayaking and more, Royal Beach Club Cozumel will complement all that the island has to offer when it opens in 2026.

The spirit of Mexico will be at the heart of the experience across local touches and a variety of ways to dine and drink, a street market, and hands-on experiences, including tequila tastings and cooking classes.

Royal Beach Club Cozumel

Adding to the range of experiences for any vibe and mood are Royal Caribbean’s exclusive beach destinations in Labadee, Haiti, and, in early 2027, Lelepa- a Vanuatuan island in the South Pacific.

As the first exclusive island cruise destination in the Southern Hemisphere, the brand's Lelepa beach destination will offer a locally inspired experience for guests in Australia and beyond, complete with serene beaches, nature trails, water activities and delicious dining.
