Everything We Know About Royal Caribbean’s New Adults-Only Beach on CocoCay
Escape to an Oasis of Serenity: Unveiling Royal Caribbean's Adults-Only Beach at Perfect Day at CocoCay
Indulgence, relaxation, and a blissful retreat from the daily grind await as Royal Caribbean is set to unveil its latest addition to Perfect Day at CocoCay, their private island: a brand-new adults-only retreat called Hideaway Beach. Nestled amidst the dazzling aquamarine waters of The Bahamas, this exclusive haven promises to elevate the art of tropical escapism to new heights. Step onto the powder-soft sands, feel the warm sun kiss your skin, and surrender to a tranquil oasis where the worries of the world slip away. With an array of luxurious amenities and adult-focused activities, Royal Caribbean's adults-only beach is poised to redefine the very essence of rejuvenation and serenity. Welcome to a slice of paradise exclusively reserved for those seeking an escape of unmatched sophistication and leisure. So, let’s dig into the details!
What Is Hideaway Beach Going to Be Like?
Hideaway Beach is going to be an extra-charge destination on CocoCay, much like the Coco Beach Club already is. Currently, prices are hovering around $45-$75 for sample dates, but I expect this to increase drastically over time. There are a number of features that make the price worth it, in my opinion:
Hideaway Beach – An acre of white sand beaches and turquoise waters exclusive to Hideaway Beach guests. Vacationers can enjoy the beachfront views and breeze at any one of the resort-style loungers and umbrellas along the shore or on the in-water hammocks and swings while playing beach games and listening to the beats of the live DJ by the pool.
Hideaway Pool – Partygoers can turn up the volume on the celebration with all-day tunes from the DJ and the lively swim-up bar at the center of the action. With in-water seating and loungers, and poolside loungers throughout the heated infinity-edge pool, every spot is also the best seat in the house to take in the picture-perfect views.
Hideaway Cabanas – Just steps away from the party, vacationers can level up their day in paradise at 10 chic poolside cabanas that have a range of amenities like cabana attendant service at the push of a call button, a mini-fridge, floating beach mats and charging outlets.
The Hideout – This nook at one end of Hideaway Beach is just close enough to the buzz but carves out an exclusive, elevated experience. In one of 10 Hideout Cabanas, those looking for a more VIP, chill vibe can kick back at a heated infinity plunge pool – exclusive to The Hideout guests – and enjoy the convenience of perks like cabana attendant service, in-water loungers, an outdoor shower and resort-style seating.
Restaurants
In terms of restaurants, the press release goes into more detail on some of the fun:
On the Rocks – The area’s new and unofficial lookout, this al fresco bar along the rocky shore serves up a vibrant scene of live musicians, TVs to watch live sports, games like pool and shuffleboard, and memorable ocean views along with refreshing drinks like frozen margaritas and mai tais.
Hideaway Bar – The swim-up bar at Hideaway Pool is the place to be and be seen, and with two levels, vacationers can take their drinks poolside or without leaving the water to maximize every minute of their island time.
Slice of Paradise – This all-new rustic pizza haven with a bar and complimentary food includes fresh-from-the-oven favorites, island twists like a Bahamian guava barbecue chicken option and more.
Snack Shack – A staple on Perfect Day at CocoCay, this new location offers the popular menu’s complimentary chicken sandwiches, burgers, fried mozzarella sticks, fresh salads and more, as well as shaded seating, and Adirondack chairs and tables on the sand.
Beach Bars – Rounding out the experience are two full-service beach bars located on both sides of the new beachfront paradise, so a drink is never far away.
My Impressions
Overall, I think this is something sorely needed on the island, and I was surprised they didn’t already have this on CocoCay when I visited last year. While the cabanas don’t appeal to me, I could see it making sense for a larger group. I love the pizza option for dining, as this will give the island an opportunity to really deliver some awesome wood-fired pizzas that aren’t possible on board. And, of course, a swim up bar is always a welcome addition in my eyes!
