Royal Caribbean’s Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is officially open, welcoming its first guests on December 23 with an all‑inclusive beach day that blends Bahamian beauty, island culture and signature Royal Caribbean fun. Located on Paradise Island just minutes from Nassau, the new 17‑acre private destination is available exclusively to Royal Caribbean cruisers, who can now pre‑purchase day passes directly through the cruise line’s website.
What Is Royal Beach Club Paradise Island?
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is Royal Caribbean’s first Royal Beach Club, designed as an “exclusive meets all‑inclusive” experience for guests calling in Nassau, The Bahamas. Your day pass includes access to two white‑sand beaches, three pools, unlimited food at three beach grills and a choice of 10 waterfront bars, plus essentials like loungers, umbrellas, towels, lockers, Wi‑Fi and roundtrip water‑ferry transport.
The destination opened following a ribbon‑cutting ceremony with Bahamian officials, local community members and Royal Caribbean executives, marking the culmination of a project that first broke ground in April 2024.
All‑Inclusive Amenities and What’s Included
Every all‑inclusive day pass unlocks the core beach‑day essentials so you can focus on relaxing instead of reaching for your wallet. Guests enjoy complimentary use of beach chairs and umbrellas, poolside loungers, towels, Wi‑Fi, showers, lockers and roundtrip rides on colourful water ferries between the cruise pier and Paradise Island.
Unlimited food and non‑alcoholic beverages are included at three beach grills and 10 bars, while premium cocktails, cabanas and special experiences can be added for an extra fee.
Three Zones: Family, Chill and Party
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is divided into three distinct areas – Family Beach, Chill Beach and Party Cove – so you can easily match your day to your mood. Families can head to Family Beach and The Shallow End, a zero‑entry pool with beach games and kid‑friendly vibes, or reserve the two‑storey Ultimate Family Cabana, which comes with a private whirlpool, wet‑dry slide, frozen drink machine and dedicated attendant service.
For relaxation, Chill Beach and The Deep End pool offer quieter sands, a swim‑up bar, and cabanas scattered along the beach and pool deck, perfect for couples or friends who want a laid‑back escape.
Party Cove and The Floating Flamingo Swim‑Up Bar
If you are chasing high‑energy fun, Party Cove is the social heart of Royal Beach Club Paradise Island. Here, the centrepiece is The Floating Flamingo, billed as the world’s largest swim‑up bar, where DJs spin throughout the day and guests can float up for drinks or climb to the second‑level Party Deck for panoramic views. Up to 12 guests can book east or west Party Deck spaces for a private, pool‑front celebration with dedicated food and beverage service and front‑row views of the action.
Local Culture and Sustainable Development
Developed through a first‑of‑its‑kind public‑private partnership with the Bahamian government, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is designed to create hundreds of jobs for local workers, artisans and small businesses.
Bahamian influence shapes the destination’s architecture, live music and entertainment, artisan huts, and food and drink offerings, giving visitors a taste of local culture alongside the resort‑style comforts. Royal Caribbean has positioned the project as a modern, responsibly developed destination that both supports the local economy and enhances Nassau’s appeal as a cruise port.
How to Book Your Day Pass
Cruisers visiting Nassau on Royal Caribbean can purchase Royal Beach Club Paradise Island day passes and bundles in advance via the cruise planner or the official website once their sailing is within the booking window.
Pricing can vary by sailing and season, and guests can also reserve extras such as private cabanas, Ultimate Family Cabanas and Party Deck spaces subject to availability. Royal Beach Club Paradise Island now joins Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas and will soon be followed by Royal Beach Club Cozumel, Royal Beach Club Santorini, Royal Beach Club Lelepa and Perfect Day Mexico as Royal Caribbean continues expanding its portfolio of private destinations.
