With multiple beaches, a swimming pool, and private cabanas, The Royal Beach Club is set to be an exciting new option for Royal Caribbean cruise passengers visiting Nassau, and we’re sharing everything you need to know about this exclusive beach day.
The Royal Beach Club is a new project by Royal Caribbean in partnership with The Bahamas. It’s located on Paradise Island—a narrow strip of land near the cruise port in Nassau—on a 17 acre property.
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is available to book now for cruises arriving in Nassau beginning December 2025. Pricing varies by sailing and season. Day passes, cabanas, and premium add-ons can be reserved online or onboard, depending on availability.
Here’s what you should know before it opens.

Complimentary Wi-Fi
Roundtrip water taxi
Entertainment, beach games, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, restrooms, lockers

Key Differences from Perfect Day at CocoCay
Royal Beach Club is a paid, all-inclusive beach club in Nassau
Perfect Day at CocoCay is free to enter and offers more thrill-based attractions (such as water slides and a wave pool)
CocoCay is a full private island; Royal Beach Club is a shore excursion on Paradise Island
Royal Beach Club emphasizes premium beach leisure, food, and drinks rather than waterpark-style fun
