When it comes to tropical getaways, nothing quite compares to the allure of the Caribbean, and Royal Caribbean International knows this better than anyone. Their latest venture, Hideaway Beach, an adults-only paradise nestled on Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas, promises to redefine luxury island retreats. Set to open its doors in January 2024 with the debut of the eagerly awaited Icon of the Seas, Hideaway Beach is bound to be the epitome of relaxation and indulgence.
"Hideaway Beach is a completely new vibe and experience that vacationers are looking for on Perfect Day at CocoCay. Everything, from its hidden-like location to the exclusive beach and pools to the private cabanas, is designed for adults who want a day just for them," says Michael Bayley, President and CEO of Royal Caribbean International.
For those seeking the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility, Hideaway Beach is poised to be the ultimate sanctuary. Tucked away on the northwest beach of Perfect Day at CocoCay, this exclusive paradise covers over an acre of pristine Bahamian white sand beaches and offers crystal-clear turquoise waters for adults aged 18 and older to enjoy. Here are some of the highlights that make Hideaway Beach a must-visit destination for adults:
Adulting Beachside or Poolside
Hideaway Beach: From end to end, Hideaway Beach offers guests exclusive access to the finest white sand beaches and inviting turquoise waters. Whether you prefer lounging on the resort-style sunbeds, relaxing under beach umbrellas, swaying in the in-water hammocks, or trying your hand at beach games, the beach has it all. Plus, the live DJ by the pool adds to the vibrant atmosphere.
Hideaway Pool: The party never stops at Hideaway Pool, with all-day tunes from the DJ and a lively swim-up bar at the heart of the action. In-water seating and loungers, coupled with poolside loungers surrounding the heated infinity-edge pool, ensure every spot is the best seat in the house to enjoy picture-perfect views.
Hideaway Cabanas: Just steps away from the excitement, you can elevate your day by booking one of the 10 chic poolside cabanas. These cabanas offer a range of amenities, including a dedicated cabana attendant, a mini-fridge, floating beach mats, and charging outlets.
The Hideout: For those who crave a more VIP, laidback experience, The Hideout is the place to be. Ten Hideout Cabanas offer an exclusive heated infinity plunge pool and perks like cabana attendant service, in-water loungers, an outdoor shower, and plush resort-style seating.
Laidback Bites and Drinks
On the Rocks: With its unbeatable al fresco setting along the rocky shore, On the Rocks is the place to be for live music, sports on TV, games like pool and shuffleboard, and breathtaking ocean views. Sip on refreshing drinks like frozen margaritas and mai tais while taking in the ambiance.
