Royal Caribbean International is developing a new beach club destination in Cozumel, Mexico, adding to its portfolio of private destinations across the Caribbean.
Royal Beach Club Cozumel is set to open in 2026 on the western coast of Cozumel as the latest addition to the Royal Beach Club Collection.
Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty and Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley revealed plans for the new beach club at its future location in Cozumel, alongside local officials.
“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,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “Now is the perfect time to announce the next iteration of this collection with Royal Beach Club Cozumel.” said.
Royal Caribbean said the club would feature “striking beaches, views and pools for every vibe”, along with an experience that combines familiar Royal Caribbean touches with the spirit of Mexico.
The new beach club will feature swim-up bars, dedicated pools for relaxation and families, private cabanas, snorkelling, kayaking, as well as dining spots like a restaurant, bar and lounge with beach views, and a street market.
There will also be hands-on experiences like tequila tastings and cooking classes.
“We are very proud that Royal Caribbean International has chosen Quintana Roo to build Royal Beach Club Cozumel as a new attraction for many of their guests visiting our magical island,” said Mara Lezama, Governor of Quintana Roo, who added that such partnerships bring new local job opportunities. “These kinds of projects reaffirm our commitment to continue to be the top port of call in Latin America.”
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.
