Royal Caribbean’s Royal Beach Club Paradise Island has opened in Nassau, The Bahamas, welcoming its first guests.
The all-inclusive shore experience is available to Royal Caribbean guests calling in Nassau, with day passes sold through the cruise line. The facility combines beach, pool, dining and transportation services into a single paid offering.
The beach club is organised into three primary areas: Family Beach, Chill Beach and Party Cove. Family Beach includes a zero-entry pool and beach recreation areas, as well as the Ultimate Family Cabana, a two-level private cabana with enhanced amenities. Chill Beach offers poolside and beachfront relaxation areas with optional cabana rentals. Party Cove centres on DJ-led entertainment and swim-up bar access, with reservable private deck spaces.

Among its features is The Floating Flamingo, the world’s largest swim-up bar, located within the Party Cove area. Other zones include The Deep End pool, positioned as a quieter space, and The Shallow End pool, designed for families.
Admission includes beach umbrellas and loungers, lockers, towels, Wi-Fi and roundtrip transportation via water ferries. Food and beverage offerings are distributed across three beach grills and 10 bars.

“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 of Royal Caribbean. “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.”
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island was developed through a public-private partnership with the Bahamian government. According to Royal Caribbean, the project supports local employment and incorporates Bahamian influences across architecture, entertainment, retail and food offerings.
The destination joins Royal Caribbean’s Perfect Day at CocoCay and is the first in a planned series of Royal Beach Clubs, with locations in Cozumel and Santorini scheduled to open in 2026, Lelepa in early 2027 and Perfect Day Mexico later in 2027.
