Stays

Royal Beach Club Paradise Island redefines the cruise port day in Nassau, Bahamas, offering a private, all-inclusive beach experience on 17 acres of prime Paradise Island real estate. Opened in December 2025, this destination caters exclusively to Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises passengers, blending stunning beaches, temperature-controlled pools, and non-stop entertainment into one seamless shore excursion.

Why Choose Royal Beach Club for Your Nassau Day

Nassau has long challenged cruise visitors seeking authentic beach time amid crowded ports. Royal Beach Club solves this with a controlled environment featuring two pristine beaches, three distinct pools, and inclusive amenities like unlimited drinks, all-day dining, Wi-Fi, and roundtrip transport. Dynamic pricing starts around $100-$200 per person pre-booked, rising to $250 onboard, making it a premium yet accessible upgrade from typical excursions.

The club’s public-private partnership allows Bahamians up to 49% equity ownership, supporting local economy while delivering vacationer-focused luxury.

Three Distinct Neighborhoods for Every Vibe

The 17-acre property divides into three themed zones, ensuring options for relaxation, family fun, or partying without adult-only restrictions. Access all areas with your day pass.

  • Chill Beach: Ideal for unwinding with calm waters, loungers, umbrellas, and a temperature-controlled pool plus swim-up bar. Perfect for reading or quiet dips.
  • Party Cove: High-energy spot with DJ beats, the world’s largest swim-up bar called The Floating Flamingo, and lively atmosphere for dancing and cocktails.
  • Paradise Beach (Family Beach): West-end family haven with gentle waves, beach games, grills, and spacious setups for group play.

These neighborhoods connect seamlessly, allowing easy transitions between moods.

Pools, Bars, and Endless Refreshments

Three temperature-controlled pools anchor the experience, each with dedicated swim-up bars serving tropical cocktails, mocktails, and Bahamian flavors. Complementing them are seven beach bars for sunset sips or beachside toasts.

Unlimited drinks vary by pass tier—alcoholic and non-alcoholic options flow freely at 10 total bars. Signature drinks highlight local rum, pineapple, and coconut infusions.
