Royal Caribbean International has broken ground on Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, the 17-acre beach day experience on Paradise Island in Nassau, The Bahamas.
The beginning of construction was celebrated on location, where Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty and Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley were joined by The Bahamas' Prime Minister Philip Davis and Deputy Prime Minister I. Chester Cooper to commemorate the major milestone.
The first of the Royal Beach Club Collection will take shape in the coming months ahead of its opening in 2025, and Royal Caribbean says the island nation of The Bahamas will be at the heart of the experience.
From the location on one of the island’s most idyllic beaches to the Bahamian food, culture and staff, to a unique public-private partnership in which Bahamians will own up to 49% equity, the all-new beach club aims to combine the beauty and spirit of The Bahamas with signature Royal Caribbean touches
“With the signing of this Heads of Agreement for the development of Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, we embark on this project to further enhance the vitality of our tourism product. Signing today’s agreement, we add another world-class experience to our tourism offerings. And even more importantly, we take a bold step toward greater Bahamian empowerment in the tourism industry,” said Honourable Philip Davis, Prime Minister of The Bahamas.

With more details to be revealed in the coming months, what’s in store ranges from three pools with swim-up bars to private cabanas, four island-style spots for quick bites and local fare, and experiences that feature local artisans and live music.
“Marking more than the beginning of the construction process, today’s ground-breaking event symbolizes partnership, momentum and continued economic development for so many Bahamian entrepreneurs and the entire community,” said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group.
Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International, had this to say: “As we break ground on Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, together with the government and the people of The Bahamas, we are celebrating what partnership and innovation can achieve. This will be yet one more reason, in Nassau’s bright future, to experience a destination we have visited since the very beginning of Royal Caribbean more than 50 years ago.”
Once complete, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is expected to host an average of 2,000 guests per day. Vacationers will access the beach club via a ferry ride from the Nassau Cruise Port and return through historic downtown Nassau near the world-famous Straw Market.
