1. Start the Fun with a Scenic Boat Ride

Your beach day begins on the water. Every Royal Beach Club Paradise Island day pass includes round-trip water transportation from the Nassau cruise terminal.

The ride is short, smooth and scenic, with boats running continuously throughout the day—so you can arrive early, head back whenever you’re ready or even pop back to the ship before returning for more beach time. For kids, it’s an open-air adventure. For parents, it’s a stress-free transition that sets the tone for the day ahead.

2. Choose Between Two Beautiful Beaches

One of the best parts of Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is the freedom to match your mood. The destination features two distinct beaches, each with its own personality.

Paradise Beach is all about calm and relaxation—ideal for parents, couples or anyone who wants to unwind with a drink and the sound of the waves.

Chill Beach is the heart of family fun, with open space for games, laughter and sandy adventures that bring everyone together.

Both beaches include complimentary loungers and umbrellas, towel service, freshwater showers, and easy access to snacks and drinks—all covered by your day pass. And the best part? You’re free to move between both beaches whenever you like.

3. Turn Beach Games into Family Memories

Nothing brings out smiles quite like a little friendly competition. Near Chill Beach, you’ll find a variety of family beach games that turn downtime into unforgettable moments.

Cornhole tournaments, jumbo Jenga showdowns, paddle ball and tug-of-war invite guests of all ages to jump in. Whether you’re playing for laughs or bragging rights, these games are a simple way to bond—and burn off a little energy before the next snack break.

4. Cool Off at The Shallow End Pool

When it’s time for a break from the sand, head to The Shallow End, a temperature-controlled pool designed for easygoing fun. This zero-entry pool is perfect for younger swimmers and equally inviting parents who want to relax without waves.

Loungers line up the water, music plays softly in the background, and a nearby bar makes it easy to grab a cool drink. It’s mellow, welcoming, and ideal for families who want to relax together.

5. Savor Island Flavor at Paradise Grill

At Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, great food is always included. With three Paradise Grill locations across the property, grabbing a bite is fast, casual, and delicious.

Menus feature Caribbean-inspired favorites alongside familiar classics, making it easy to please picky eaters and adventurous foodies alike. Crowd-pleasers include shrimp skewers with guava glaze, crispy fish sandwiches, signature cheeseburgers and coconut cookies. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available upon request.

Fuel up, grab a shady seat or take your plate back to the beach—no reservations are required.

6. Upgrade With a Cabana or VIP Experience

For families who want extra space—or a little wow factor—Royal Beach Club Paradise Island offers several VIP upgrades.

Day beds provide a cozy, shaded setup, while private beach or pool cabanas accommodate up to 10 guests and include convenient food and drink service. For the ultimate splurge, the Ultimate Family Cabana delivers two stories of fun, complete with a slide, whirlpool, private bathroom, frozen drink machine and a dedicated Island Genie to handle every detail.

Each VIP option includes a set of day passes, making it easy to bundle your group together.

7. Stay Connected with Complimentary Wi-Fi

Yes, you can still stream a favorite show or check messages—high-speed Wi-Fi is included with your day pass. It’s one less thing to worry about and especially helpful for modern families.

Teens stay connected, parents stay reachable, and younger guests can enjoy familiar comforts when it’s time to wind down. Lockers make it easy to stash devices when you’re ready to unplug and soak up the moment.

8. Enjoy Live Music by the Pool

Music sets the mood across Royal Beach Club Paradise Island. Each pool zone features live entertainment, ranging from acoustic island sounds to upbeat DJ sets.

The vibe changes depending on where you spend your time: playful and light near The Shallow End, more relaxed at The Deep End and high-energy around The Floating Flamingo. Wherever you land, the soundtrack makes every splash and sunset feel a little more magical.

9. Sip Something Refreshing—for Every Age

With 10 bars located throughout the property, refreshments are always close by. Adults can enjoy handcrafted cocktails, frozen favorites and local beers, while kids and teens sip unlimited juices, sodas and fruity mocktails.

Every drink is included, so whether you’re celebrating a cornhole win or cooling off after a swim, something delicious is always within reach.

10. Take Home a Piece of the Island
