Royal Caribbean opening Royal Beach Club Cozumel in 2026

Royal Caribbean International is expanding its destination lineup with Royal Beach Club Cozumel in Mexico, opening in 2026.

“We are delighted to build on our longstanding partnership with the local community and government to continue bringing our guests to Mexico,” said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. “The expansion of our destination offerings aligns with the growing global demand for the ultimate vacation experiences and enables our guests to connect with the beauty of local cultures and people in the places they visit.”

“The anticipation for what’s next when it comes to Royal Caribbean destinations has only continued to build since we revealed Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in The Bahamas that opens in 2025. Now is the perfect time to announce the next iteration of this collection with Royal Beach Club Cozumel,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “Cozumel is an incredible destination, and the beach club will perfectly complement all the island has to offer as an experience that combines familiar Royal Caribbean touches with the spirit of Mexico, alongside amenities and activities for every type of vacationer.”

About Royal Beach Club Cozumel

Royal Beach Club Cozumel will feature swim-up bars, dedicated pools for relaxation enthusiasts and families, private cabanas, snorkelling, kayaking, and more. Coming to the table will be a variety of dining spots like a restaurant, bar and lounge with views for days and a street market as well as hands-on experiences like tequila tastings and cooking classes.

The new beach club experience is the latest in the cruise line’s growing lineup of destinations, which includes the top-rated Perfect Day at CocoCay, The Bahamas, that set the bar for private islands after a $250 million transformation in 2019.

From ongoing expansions to the island – like the newly opened adults-only Hideaway Beach – to the Royal Beach Club Collection, Royal Caribbean has set the stage for vacationers to create their perfect vacation day in more ways than one in The Bahamas and the eastern and western Caribbean.

More details about Royal Beach Club Cozumel will be revealed in the coming months. The Royal Beach Club Collection also includes Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, a 17-acre Bahamian beach experience located on Nassau’s Paradise Island, opening in 2025.
