Royal Caribbean International is promising guests an “ultimate beach day” experience at the Royal Beach Club Cozumel in Mexico, with an opening date in 2026.
At the future location of the beach club along the western coast of the island, Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty and Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley revealed plans for the next experience in the Royal Beach Club Collection.
“We are delighted to build on our longstanding partnership with the local community and government to continue bringing our guests to Mexico,” said Liberty. “The expansion of our destination offerings aligns with the growing global demand for the ultimate vacation experiences and enables our guests to connect with the beauty of local cultures and people in the places they visit.”
RCI CEO Bayley added: “The anticipation for what’s next when it comes to Royal Caribbean destinations has only continued to build since we revealed Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in The Bahamas that opens in 2025. Now is the perfect time to announce the next iteration of this collection with Royal Beach Club Cozumel. Cozumel is an incredible destination, and the beach club will perfectly complement all the island has to offer as an experience that combines familiar Royal Caribbean touches with the spirit of Mexico, alongside amenities and activities for every type of vacationer.”

Featuring beaches, views and pools for every vibe, Royal Beach Club Cozumel will offer a combination of experiences that span from kicking back to adventuring across swim-up bars, dedicated pools for relaxation enthusiasts and families, private cabanas, snorkeling, kayaking, and more.
There will be a variety of dining options including a restaurant, bar and street market, as well as hands-on experiences like tequila tastings and cooking classes.
“We are very proud that Royal Caribbean International has chosen Quintana Roo to build Royal Beach Club Cozumel as a new attraction for many of their guests visiting our magical island. These kinds of projects reaffirm our commitment to continue to be the top port of call in Latin America,” said Mara Lezama, governor of Quintana Roo.
The new beach club experience is the latest in the cruise line’s growing lineup of destinations, which includes the top-rated Perfect Day at CocoCay, The Bahamas, that set the bar for private islands after a $250 million transformation in 2019.
More details about Royal Beach Club Cozumel will be revealed in the coming months. The Royal Beach Club Collection also includes Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, a 17-acre Bahamian beach experience located on Nassau’s Paradise Island, opening in 2025.
