Marks a significant milestone for Royal Caribbean International and The Bahamas as they initiate the development of the Royal Beach Club on Paradise Island. This 17-acre beachfront venture, celebrated with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by key figures including Royal Caribbean Group’s Jason Liberty and Michael Bayley, along with The Bahamas’ Prime Minister Philip Davis and Deputy Prime Minister I. Chester Cooper, signifies the commencement of the Royal Beach Club Collection’s first project, set to open in 2025.
Located on one of Paradise Island’s most picturesque beaches, the Royal Beach Club is designed to embody the essence of The Bahamas, integrating local cuisine, culture, and staff. This initiative also features a notable public-private partnership, allowing Bahamian stakeholders to hold up to 49% equity. The club will showcase local architectural designs, offer exceptional views of the turquoise waters and sandy shores, and introduce amenities such as three pools with swim-up bars, private cabanas, and island-style eateries.
“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.
“Marking more than the beginning of the construction process, today’s groundbreaking 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. “We are grateful to our partners for their support, especially the Bahamian government, who stand with us here today in celebration of what is to come.”
Further contributions include local business involvement in various aspects of the project, which will create numerous jobs and involve Bahamians in crafting authentic local offerings from food to entertainment. The project, developed in collaboration with the Bahamian government, also focuses on environmental sustainability, including native habitat restoration to protect local wildlife.
“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, 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.”
Upon completion, Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will welcome approximately 2,000 guests daily, accessible via ferry from Nassau Cruise Port. This addition aims to enhance the tourism experience while respecting and promoting the local environment and culture.
