Unveiled by Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty, alongside Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley, the announcement was made in the presence of Quintana Roo's Secretary of Tourism, Bernardo Cueto Riestra, and Cozumel's mayor, Juanita Alonso.
The Royal Beach Club Cozumel aims to be the ultimate beach day experience for vacationers, blending Royal Caribbean's signature amenities with the rich culture and vibrant spirit of Mexico. Located along the western coast of Cozumel Island, the beach club will offer guests a plethora of experiences ranging from relaxing on striking beaches and pools to enjoying swim-up bars, a variety of dining options, and engaging in hands-on activities like tequila tastings and cooking classes.
Jason Liberty expressed his excitement about further strengthening the partnership with the local community and government to continue welcoming guests to Mexico. Michael Bayley shared his enthusiasm for introducing the next iteration of the Royal Beach Club Collection in Cozumel, highlighting the destination's incredible offerings and the beach club's blend of Royal Caribbean touches with the spirit of Mexico.
The Royal Beach Club Cozumel will cater to every type of vacationer, featuring private cabanas, dedicated pools for relaxation and families, snorkelling, kayaking, and more. Dining options will range from beach day favourites to authentic Mexican cuisine, all set against the backdrop of Cozumel's stunning landscapes.
Governor of Quintana Roo, Mara Lezama, voiced her pride in Cozumel being chosen for the Royal Beach Club and emphasised the commitment to partnering with the private sector for sustainable development and job creation.
This announcement comes on the heels of Royal Caribbean's continuous efforts to offer exceptional vacation experiences, including the transformation of Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas. With more details to be revealed in the coming months, Royal Beach Club Cozumel is poised to become a cherished destination for Royal Caribbean guests.
