Royal Caribbean offered vacationers an early Christmas present when it opened the gates to its newest destination, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island on December 23rd. The 17-acre property sits conveniently adjacent to the Nassau cruise port, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy a perfect beach day just a short ferry ride from the pier. With three heated pools, ocean views, bars, and restaurants, the exclusive beach club is set to become a new favorite Bahamas excursion for Celebrity, Silversea, and Royal Caribbean cruisers.

“What Royal Caribbean has created on a compact and—in some parts—rocky piece of land is nothing short of incredible,” said Josh Martin, president & creative director of Martin Aquatic. “Thanks to Martin Aquatic’s skillful engineering, this destination now has some of the most strategically-placed pools offering endless ocean views.”

While long and narrow, the beach club is quite expansive, allowing vacationers to choose how to spend their day among three distinct neighborhoods: Party Cove℠, Family Beach℠, and Chill Beach℠.

In the middle of the action, Party Cove is made up of three connected pools all anchored by the two-story Floating Flamingo, touted as the world’s largest swim-up bar. With a DJ spinning music all day, vacationers can enjoy from the water or the upstairs areas with breathtaking views.

The pool at Chill Beach offers another way to relax with in-water loungers and poolside cabanas, plus another convenient swim-up bar. Its adjacent sandy beach is lined with dozens of chairs and umbrellas, all serviced by its own bars and snack shacks.

All ages will flock to Family Beach with its zero-entry pool and shallow sun shelves that let kids wade or parents sunbathe. This pool also features its own swim-up bar with mocktails and cocktails for kids and parents alike. More picturesque views await on the shores of Family Beach with eateries and bars close by.

Designed as an upcharge excursion, the all-inclusive destination makes for a perfect beach or pool day in one of the busiest cruise ports in the world. Royal Beach Club Paradise Island marks the first in a series of announced destinations for Royal Caribbean. Royal Beach Club Santorini is scheduled to open in Summer of 2026, and Royal Beach Club Cozumel will be opening at the end of 2026.
