Royal Caribbean’s Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is officially open in the Bahamas.

The beach club destination welcomed its first vacationers December 23, debuting an all-inclusive beach day that the cruise company says combines the vibrancy and beauty of The Bahamas with its own signature touches. 

Royal Beach Club Paradise Island offers experiences “for every type of vibe and vacationer.” 

Guests can enjoy the turquoise waters of two pristine beaches and three pools, from party vibes at The Floating Flamingo – the world’s largest swim-up bar – to laidback energy at The Deep End pool and family time at The Shallow End pool. 

In between all the action, adventurers can refuel with unlimited bites at three beach grills and 10 waterfront bars and immerse themselves in local culture with live music, artisan huts and more. Plus, everything needed for a day at the beach is included with umbrellas and lounge chairs, lockers and towels, Wi-Fi and roundtrip transportation on five colourful water ferries.

“Guests told us they were looking for more ways to make the most of their vacations in The Bahamas, and that’s exactly what we’ve created with Royal Beach Club Paradise Island,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO.

“Whether it’s a chill day on the island’s two pristine beaches or the ultimate beach party at the world’s largest swim-up bar, we’ve crafted a destination that caters to every mood. The opening of our first Royal Beach Club introduces a bold new kind of beach experience, and it’s just the start of what’s to come in our growing destination portfolio.”

The destination features three main areas:

Family Beach: Families of all ages can splash the day away in The Shallow End zero-entry pool, relax in the sun or shade at the beach, or enjoy beach games like spike ball and ring toss. Family Beach is also home to the brand new Ultimate Family Cabana – a two-level cabana where vacationers can kick back on a whole new level with a private whirlpool, wet-dry slide, frozen drink machine, premium attendant service and more.

Chill Beach: Sun-seekers can relax on the white sands of Chill Beach or unwind poolside at The Deep End with a cocktail or mocktail from the swim-up bar. For those looking to take relaxation to another level, beach and poolside cabanas are available throughout the island for upgraded amenities and personal attendant service.

Party Cove: To keep the party going all day long, adventurers can move to DJ beats and grab a drink from the world’s largest swim-up bar, The Floating Flamingo. For the ultimate way to celebrate, vacationers can reserve their front row seat to the boldest beach party at the east or west side of The Party Deck. Located on the second floor of The Floating Flamingo, up to 12 guests can enjoy their own private pool-front space with dedicated food and beverage service, stunning ocean views and more.

Royal Beach Club Paradise Island joins Royal Caribbean’s top-rated Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas and is the first of an exciting lineup of upcoming destinations to open, including Royal Beach Club Cozumel and Royal Beach Club Santorini in 2026, Royal Beach Club Lelepa in early 2027 and Perfect Day Mexico in late 2027.
