Key Aspects:
- Royal Caribbean’s first beach club, which is the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau, will now open a few days early.
- The 17-acre resort will officially open to paying guests on December 23, 2025, which is just in time for Christmas.
- The beachfront retreat will offer desirable amenities like two private beaches and three temperature-controlled pools.
For some lucky Royal Caribbean guests, Christmas is coming early!
The first of Royal Caribbean’s private beach clubs, which is the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in the Bahamas, is going to officially open on December 23, 2025 – just two days before Christmas.
This is four days earlier than Royal Caribbean originally said their Nassau-based resort would open on December 27, 2025.
Two Royal Caribbean ships will be in port on opening day, including Utopia of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas.
The following day, which is Christmas Eve, will be even busier. Liberty of the Seas, Vision of the Seas, and Wonder of the Seas will bring thousands of guests to explore the new beachfront spot.
These will be the first official paying guests to visit Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, where day passes start at $109.99 for cruisers aged 4-12 and $129.99 for adults.
However, some lucky cruise fans will get an even earlier sneak peek.
Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony that is scheduled for December 13, some lucky cruise guests have received an invitation to enjoy the resort early, which comes with a complimentary day pass with unlimited open bar and dining access.
Unfortunately, these coveted invites cannot be bought or requested – it simply came down to the luck of the draw.
This soft opening will give Royal Caribbean a chance to ensure the island destination is fully functional, the crew members are fully trained, and to work out any last-minute kinks ahead of the grand opening.
What to Expect at Royal Beach Club Paradise Island
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is the newest private destination that is meant for the exclusive use of guests sailing with Royal Caribbean and sister brands like Celebrity Cruises.
The beachfront property is located in the Capital of the Bahamas, only 10 minutes (or less!) from the busy cruise port.
To help guests really get into the beach day mood from the moment they arrive in Nassau, Royal Caribbean recently unveiled a fleet of five water ferries that will transport guests who secure a day pass directly to the new destination.
The ferries are decorated with the iconic crown-and-anchor logo and come in cheerful colors like bright pink, oceanic blue, energetic orange, bold green, and happy turquoise.

Once guests arrive at the 17-acre resort, they will get to enjoy three temperature-controlled pools, a variety of bars and dining options, beach games like cornhole and Jumbo Jenga, live music, and DJ sets.
To make sure every visitor gets to experience their perfect beach day, the destination has been divided into three zones, which are Chill Beach, Party Cove, and Family Beach.
Chill Beach, as the name suggests, will be all about relaxation. Conversely, Party Cove will be all about partying, having fun, and getting the energy pumping.
Family Beach will be geared toward families with kids. For example, this area will feature The Shallow End, which is a zero-entry pool appropriate for little ones.
Of course, cabana rentals and other VIP experiences are also available for purchase.
Admirably, the retreat was created with benefiting the Bahamas in mind, and Royal Caribbean has committed to promoting authentic Bahamian businesses. 49% of the equity will be reserved for Bahamian ownership and investment.
And after already waiting more than a year since the beach club’s groundbreaking ceremony on April 22, 2024, opening day can’t get here soon enough!
