Royal Caribbean International may be known for its family vacation offerings, but the line’s new beach getaway is just for grown ups.

The line revealed details about Hideaway Beach on Thursday, a new adults-only area at its private island Perfect Day at CocoCay. Starting next year, guests 18 and up can unwind by the water during visits to the Bahamas destination.

“Hideaway Beach is a completely new vibe and experience that vacationers are looking for on Perfect Day at CocoCay,” Michael Bayley, the line’s president and CEO, said in a news release. “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.”

When will Hideaway Beach open?

Hideaway Beach will open in January 2024, timed to the debut of the line’s upcoming ship Icon of the Seas.

What can guests expect from Hideaway Beach?

Located on the private island’s northwest beach, Hideaway Beach will feature restaurants and bars, cabanas and two pools. Along a private stretch of sand, guests can chill on resort-style loungers or in-water hammocks and swings, while the Hideaway Pool offers sweeping views, a two-level swim-up bar and all-day music courtesy of a DJ.

There are also 10 poolside Hideaway Cabanas with attendant service, charging outlets, a mini-fridge and more.

If you’re looking for a more laid-back day, head to The Hideout, which has a plunge pool exclusive to guests who reserve one of its 10 cabanas.
