Experience Paradise: Royal Caribbean’s Beach Club Opening Soon

Looking for something new to do in Nassau? Remember looking out to the ocean and seeing the island with deserted homes? Royal Caribbean recently purchased it and has turned it into an amazing Beach Club! Starting December 2025, you will be able to experience the new Royal Beach Club by RCL.

The Royal Beach Club Paradise Island Refreshment Package + Thrill & Chill Combo includes:

• Royal Beach Club Day Pass

It’s priced per day of the cruise, rather than a flat fee like the other options. Royal Caribbean says the price of the bundle at checkout is up to 45% less than those products added to cart individually.

Ultimate Beach Day offering

The concept is to offer the very best beach experience. Royal Caribbean has two goals: offer an unparalleled beach experience and give passengers a high quality shore excursion choice in Nassau.

Located on 17 acres at the western end of Paradise Island in Nassau, there’s a mix of party and family time. 

Regardless of which zone you end up spending most of your time, expect high energy throughout the club.

Royal Caribbean did a lot of research from its customers, and they want a day with music, drinks, and a fun vibe.  It’s not meant to be a quiet spot, even if you’re in Chill Beach.

“It will be the most amazing beach day in essence,” said Jay Schneider, Royal Caribbean’s chief product innovation officer, earlier this year when he spoke about the plans they had to develop The Beach Club.

“Chill is not quiet… It is relaxed, but there is a little bit of energy built into what our guests expect out of Chill,” Schneider said.

Family Beach is designed for what Royal Caribbean calls “relaxed energy” because it’s a space where families can play, swim, and unwind together without sacrificing convenience or comfort.
