Royal Caribbean Breaks Ground for New Beach Club in Nassau
Royal Caribbean International has officially broke ground on its new private beach club in Nassau. The Royal Beach Club Paradise Island (located on Paradise Island in Nassau, The Bahama) is set to open in 2025.
The beginning of construction was celebrated on location. 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 17-acre beach day experience, which is the first of the Royal Beach Club Collection, will now begin to take shape in the coming months ahead of its opening next year. The Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is a unique public-private partnership in which Bahamians will own up to 49% equity. When complete, the beach club will combine the beauty and spirit of The Bahamas with Royal Caribbean’s signature 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 Honorable Philip Davis, Prime Minister of The Bahamas.
Vacationers will be welcomed to the ultimate beach day at Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, starting with the vibrant and charming local architecture being crafted by a local Bahamian architectural firm and the exceptional views of turquoise waters and white sand beaches. Local businesses and entrepreneurs will manage parts of the construction and experience, which are expected to generate hundreds of jobs in the short and long term.
“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,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO of Royal Caribbean International. “The beauty and charm of the island are why we chose to debut the Royal Beach Club Collection in Nassau, and with the collaboration and support of local entrepreneurs and the wider community, we know that what we create will far exceed everything we imagined.”
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is expected to host an average of 2,000 guests. 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.
The beach club will feature three stunning 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. More details about Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will be revealed in the coming months.
