Published on January 30, 2020
From action-packed slides and hot air balloon rides, to beautiful stretches of white-sand beach and a massive lagoon where the party never stops, Perfect Day at CocoCay has more than enough activities to fill an entire day with fun. But if you really want to go the extra isle and indulge in an experience unlike any other, you have to pencil in some time at Coco Beach Club. Once you purchase your admission, you’ll have access to a bunch of included amenities, a private beach, and more. Packed with elevated experiences, Coco Beach Club is perfect for Royal Caribbean guests who want to soak up a little laid-back luxury while visiting the island. Read on to learn more about what to expect at Coco Beach Club and what’s included when you buy a day pass to the island’s most exclusive new hangout.
1. WHY SHOULD I VISIT COCO BEACH CLUB?
Premium all-inclusive amenities and VIP treatment, like spa services onsite and bar service directly to your seat. Complimentary dining at an exclusive restaurant that serves elevated dishes like tender steak, succulent lobster, and decadent pastries. A beachfront infinity pool with in-water loungers and reclining chairs around the deck. Some seriously awesome cabanas with never-before-seen features...the list goes on. The first of its kind for Royal Caribbean, Coco Beach Club is all about raising the bar when it comes to pool- and beachside lounging. And because it accommodates just a few hundred people, you can always count on an intimate, laid-back atmosphere. What’s more, it’s also home to the first Overwater Cabanas in The Bahamas — more on those later. In a nutshell, it’s the ultimate way to take your beach day to the next level.
2. WHAT AMENITIES ARE INCLUDED WITH MY COCO BEACH CLUB ADMISSION?
One of the best things about Coco Beach Club is that pretty much all the amenities you need to enjoy an elevated beach day are already included with your admission. Comfy beach chairs? Check. Shade-spreading umbrellas? Check. Premium towels? You got it. The club also has private showers where guests can rinse off the sea salt and sand after some fun at the private beach, exclusive to Coco Beach Club guests. The experience begins as soon as you arrive on the Perfect Day at CocoCay island — a host or hostess will greet you with a cold eucalyptus towel to get your beach day started the right way. Once you’ve made it to Coco Beach Club, you can treat yourself to delicious fare served complimentary throughout the day. And if you’ve purchased a Wifi or beverage package, you’re welcome to use it throughout the island — that includes Coco Beach Club.
3. TELL ME ABOUT THOSE FAMOUS CABANAS
Similar to the atmosphere at Chill Island®, the vibe at Coco Beach Club is all about relaxation, only in an elevated setting. The space offers plenty of options to kick back and soak up the sun or unwind in the shade. Comfy loungers line the sprawling infinity edge pool that serves as the focal point of Coco Beach Club, but if you want an even more exclusive experience, consider renting a cabana. You can choose between two kinds at Coco Beach Club, each with its own price and special features. Standard cabanas are located beachside and accommodate up to eight guests.
Wondering how much these cabanas will run you? Pricing for each type fluctuates based on seasonality and current promotions, but Cruise Planner always has the latest rates. You’ll also save if you book ahead. If you’re looking to go all out, there are the Overwater Cabanas, which feature a two-person overwater hammock, a slide that plunges right into the ocean and your own wet bar. Regardless of which kind of cabana you choose, you’ll enjoy complimentary access to Coco Beach Club and its restaurant for up to eight guests, plus attendant service. All cabanas also come with unlimited bottled water, a dining area, four lounge chairs, a sectional sofa, a fridge, a ceiling fan, lockable storage and a charging outlet.
4. WHAT’S ON THE MENU AT COCO BEACH CLUB?
While Perfect Day at CocoCay offers plenty of restaurants serving everything from juicy burgers to crisp salads, the restaurant at Coco Beach Club dials the dining way up. Lunch here is served from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., followed by light snacks from 3 p.m. onward. Want to know what’s included in your admission? Everything on the menu. You’ll find elevated beachside classics here, like the Cabana Burger, Bahamian lobster rolls, fresh fruit salad and more, plus flavorful entrees like herb-marinated filet mignon, grilled Bahamian lobster and thyme-roasted chicken breast — all complimentary with your admission. Whatever you do, save room for dessert — Coco Beach Club’s rum-soaked cake and caramel-chocolate brownies are must-try items.
Craving a drink? Not to worry. Coco Beach Club is home to a full bar where you can take your pick of wine, cocktails and beer. Highlights include a signature spritz made with champagne, coconut water and pineapple juice, and the Funky Buddha Chilla Thrilla, a brew exclusive to Perfect Day at CocoCay. Drinks aren’t complimentary, but if you have a beverage package you can definitely use it here for a full all-inclusive experience. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are also available at Coco Beach Club, and everything can be served straight to your cabana for your convenience. If you’d rather dine at the club’s beautiful open-air restaurant, feel free to walk in and grab a seat — reservations are not required.
5. ARE KIDS ALLOWED AT COCO BEACH CLUB?
Coco Beach Club is open to guests of all ages, so bring your little ones if you’re visiting with the whole family. They’ll definitely have a blast at the private beach and in the shallows of the infinity edge pool. And if you book an Overwater Cabana, they’ll have plenty of room to make memories. The restaurant at Coco Beach Club also offers snacks and options for little adventurers. Sweet treats like fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies and chewy brownies are always a hit with the younger set, and the truffle French fries are the perfect shoreside snack.

6. WHAT KINDS OF ACTIVITIES ARE OFFERED AT COCO BEACH CLUB?
Soaking up the sun and relaxing isn’t the only thing you can do at Coco Beach Club. While the club’s laid-back vibes do lend themselves to lounging, there are also lots of ways to keep active and maximize your time onshore. Perfect Day at CocoCay is known for its beautiful coral reefs and vibrant aquatic life, and Coco Beach Club makes it easy to take adventure beneath the waves with snorkel gear available for rent at the concierge desk. If you’d rather just drift along with the tide, ask for a floating mat. Life jackets are also available for use.
7. WHERE IS COCO BEACH CLUB LOCATED?
Coco Beach Club is located right behind Oasis Lagoon and next to South Beach. Once you arrive on Perfect Day at CocoCay, a host or hostess will greet you and help you find your way to the club. It’s about a ten-minute walk from the ship to the club if you’d rather go on foot, or you can take advantage of Coco Beach Club’s dedicated tram service, which runs in a loop between the Arrivals Plaza and the club every ten minutes.
8. HOW CAN I BOOK A DAY AT COCO BEACH CLUB?
Ready to reserve your spot at this exclusive new island hideaway? It’s easy. Once you’ve booked your Royal Caribbean cruise, you can purchase admission to Coco Beach Club via Cruise Planner.
