Royal Caribbean International has announced an exciting partnership with two leading architectural firms to bring the highly anticipated Royal Beach Club on Paradise Island to life. Slated to open in late 2025, the project will be a first-of-its-kind beach club, blending the stunning natural beauty of The Bahamas with Royal Caribbean’s signature luxury. The collaboration involves Nassau-based firm ArchVenture Company Ltd. and global design leader Stantec, both renowned for their expertise in eco-friendly and sustainable design.
Set on 17 acres of pristine beachfront, the Royal Beach Club will be built with a strong focus on sustainability. The design will be centered on six key environmental commitments: zero waste-to-landfill, renewable energy, no dredging, no overwater cabanas, wastewater treatment, and habitat protection and monitoring. These measures are intended to preserve the natural beauty of The Bahamas while creating a world-class experience for guests.
Stantec, known for its sustainable infrastructure and environmental planning, will serve as the lead consultant on the project, while ArchVenture will bring its local expertise to the design, ensuring the integration of Bahamian culture and eco-friendly practices. Together, they aim to craft an authentic island experience for vacationers, incorporating Bahamian flair and respecting the natural environment.
A Unique Experience in The Bahamas
The Royal Beach Club will offer a perfect day at the beach with a mix of private cabanas, scenic pools, and breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of Paradise Island. Guests will be treated to Bahamian-inspired architecture, local cuisine, island-style barbecues, live music, and crafts from local artisans. The design will seamlessly blend luxury with the island’s vibrant culture, offering an unforgettable getaway.
Commitment to Local Community and Sustainability
Royal Caribbean’s project goes beyond just providing a luxury beach experience. The cruise line is committed to supporting the local economy, with up to 49% of the beach club’s equity owned by Bahamians through a unique public-private partnership. This initiative highlights Royal Caribbean’s dedication to local hiring, environmental sustainability, and community involvement.
Construction of the Royal Beach Club began in April 2024, with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by Bahamian officials and community leaders. Once completed, the club will not only become a top destination for travelers but also a model of sustainable tourism, balancing economic growth with environmental preservation.
