For repeat cruisers, the appeal of “a beach day with a Bahamian twist” is immediate. Nassau is one of the Caribbean’s most visited ports, and while there’s no shortage of excursions, piecing together a beach day on Paradise Island—transportation, reservations, timing—has often required extra planning and stress. Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is meant to simplify that, while keeping the experience rooted in Bahamian culture rather than feeling like an isolated cruise bubble.

What Makes Royal Beach Club Paradise Island Different?
R
The beach club was developed through a public-private partnership with the Bahamian government, with nearly half ownership held locally. Food service, entertainment, artisans and much of the workforce are sourced from Bahamian companies, and the influence is visible everywhere—from architecture to menus to music.
Alongside familiar beach fare, guests will find nods to classic Bahamian dishes, including conch fritters served with crack sauce, guava duff-inspired desserts and Carnival-style “fire engine” flavors reimagined as bite-size fritters.
“Our guests have told us they love the design and attention to detail, enjoy the variety of options offered at the destination paired with Bahamian flair seen in the local artisans, entertainment, and food and beverage experiences at the beach club,” Royal Caribbean’s chief product innovation officer Jay Schneidershared with Travel Weekly.
Where Is the Beach Club—and How Do Guests Get There?
R
Guests reach the beach club via “five custom-built water ferries” running “continuously, on demand, throughout the day." The ride takes about five minutes, and ferries dock on different ends of the property, allowing guests to arrive closer to Chill Beach or the Family and Party areas.
During my visit, high winds temporarily suspended shuttles—a reminder that this is a real beach facing the ocean, not a sheltered harbor. In those cases, Royal Caribbean refunds guests automatically, and officials stress that safety dictates access.
What’s Included With a Day Pass?
R
Access to two beaches and three poolsUnlimited food at three eateriesDrinks at 10 bars (alcohol packages available)Wi-Fi, towels, loungers and umbrellasRoundtrip ferry transportation
Children ages 3 and under enter free. Prices vary based on demand and sailing, similar to Royal Caribbean’s other destination experiences, but start at the following:
All-Inclusive with Alcohol (21+): Starting from $169.99.All-Inclusive Non-Alcoholic (13+): Starting from $129.99.Kids (Ages 4–12): Starting from $109.99.It’s also worth noting how Royal Beach Club Paradise Island fits into a Nassau day compared to Royal Caribbean’s other destinations. Unlike Perfect Day at CocoCay—which functions as a port of call and is included for all guests—Paradise Island is treated as a paid shore excursion, similar to other private beach experiences in Nassau.
That puts it in the same category as nearby options like Atlantis’ beach access or popular independent beach clubs that repeat cruisers often gravitate toward after they’ve done the island’s more traditional tours. The difference is ease: transportation, food, amenities and beach access are bundled into one experience, removing the guesswork from a Nassau beach day.
Chill, Family or Party: Choosing Your Beach Vibe

Designed for laid-back lounging, Chill Beach offers a quieter shoreline and The Deep End pool, complete with a swim-up bar and cabanas for rent. There are no adults-only sections, though staff noted kids naturally gravitate to Family Beach.
Family Beach
Party Cove
Party Cove is the most talked-about zone, anchored by The Floating Flamingo, the world’s largest swim-up bar. A resident DJ serves up "tunes and vibes all day," and the second-floor Party Deck can be reserved for private celebrations overlooking the pool.
Accessibility was a core part of the design. Ferry boarding ramps, seating and pathways throughout the site were described as “ADA-compliant end to end." Pathways throughout the beach club accommodate strollers, wheelchairs and mobility devices, and staff are trained to assist guests across the property.
Because the beach faces open water, “conditions like riptides and currents are closely monitored,” as in my case.
Why Guests Are Booking Early

“Guests told us they were looking for more ways to make the most of their vacations in The Bahamas,” saidMichael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean. “Whether it’s a chill day on the island’s two pristine beaches or the ultimate beach party at the world’s largest swim-up bar, we’ve crafted a destination that caters to every mood.”
