Owned, built and operated by Bahamians
Royal Caribbean International, the world’s largest and most popular cruise line, is moving ahead with the development of the first Royal Beach Club after receiving approval from the government of The Bahamas. Crafted in close collaboration with the Bahamian government, the new project will feature an unprecedented public-private partnership in which Bahamians will be invited to own up to 49% equity. Local businesses and entrepreneurs will also have the opportunity to manage the vast majority of the experience. Overall, the new venture will generate hundreds of jobs across its construction and long-term operation.
The 17-acre destination experience coming to the western end of Paradise Island near Nassau, The Bahamas, will combine the island’s striking beaches with the cruise line’s signature experiences to create the ultimate beach day – The Royal Beach Club at Paradise Island. Alongside private cabanas, stunning pools and more, the vibrant Bahamian spirit and culture will come to life throughout the world-class experience. Vacationers and Bahamians will be welcomed by local architecture that complements the exceptional views of The Bahamas’ turquoise-blue waters and white sand beaches, along with experiences that feature Bahamian fare, island-style barbecues, live music, and local artisans.
Royal Beach Club environmental commitment
At the foundation of Royal Caribbean’s plans is a combination of its rigorous company-wide sustainability principles and proven practices as well as the requirements of The Bahamas’ stringent environmental protection and planning process. The key components consist of six focuses:
