Royal Caribbean Opens Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau
Royal Caribbean has officially opened Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, its first Royal Beach Club and a new private destination for guests sailing to Nassau in The Bahamas. The beach club welcomed its first guests on December 23, 2025.
The opening follows a ribbon-cutting ceremony held earlier in December, attended by Bahamian government officials, community leaders, and Royal Caribbean executives. Construction on the project began in April 2024.
Located on Paradise Island near the Nassau Cruise Port, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is available to guests sailing with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. Day passes are sold through Royal Caribbean and include an all-inclusive beach day experience.
The property features two beaches and three pools, organized into three main areas. Family Beach includes a zero-entry pool, beach games, and the Ultimate Family Cabana, a two-level private cabana with a whirlpool, slide, frozen drink machine, and dedicated attendants. Chill Beach offers a quieter setting, beach access, and The Deep End pool with a swim-up bar. Party Cove centers around The Floating Flamingo, described as the world’s largest swim-up bar, along with a second-level Party Deck available for private group bookings.
Food and drinks are included with day passes, with three beach grills and 10 bars throughout the property. Access to Royal Beach Club Paradise Island requires the purchase of a separate day pass and is not included in cruise fares. Guests also have access to Wi-Fi, towels, loungers, umbrellas, lockers, and round-trip water ferry service from Nassau.
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island was developed through a public-private partnership with the Bahamian government. Royal Caribbean says the project supports local employment and incorporates Bahamian design, entertainment, retail, and culinary elements throughout the destination.
The Paradise Island location is the first Royal Beach Club to open. Additional Royal Beach Clubs in Cozumel and Santorini are scheduled to open in 2026, followed by Royal Beach Club Lelepa in early 2027.
