Picture this: Laying on the golden crests of sand as warm sunshine caresses your face. Crystalline waves lap gently against the shoreline as you sip on a light refreshing cocktail. Splash in the water or grab a bite, if you so wish to. Duck under the shade of palm trees or trash your friends in a game of beach volleyball. And most importantly, you don’t have to think about what happens next. Now, doesn’t that just sound like the perfect day?
Royal Caribbean can make it happen with their Perfect Day Mexico vacation destination, debuting in 2027. The Perfect Day Collection is a series of private islands exclusive only to Royal Caribbean guests. It began with Perfect Day at Cococay in 2019, which became a resounding success and a game-changer for the cruise’s future private destinations. Any kind of waterside activity you can think of, Perfect Day definitely has it.
Perfect Day Mexico is situated on the slice of paradise known as Mahahual, Mexico. Located in the state of Quintana Roo, this beachfront is the very picture of charm and relaxation. Perfect Day Mexico aims to inject this majestic coast with a shot of adrenaline.
Perhaps one day you’re looking for a serene time by the shore and the next, some heart-pumping fun by the waterpark – you can have it all here. I heard through the grapevine that not only will there be a waterpark beyond anything you can imagine, but there will also be pools and beaches stretching as far as the eye can see, delectable eats, and more – all infused with a local twist!
In a longstanding collaboration with the local government and community, Royal Caribbean will not only be creating a once-in-a-lifetime vacation for its customers but also ensuring that the planet is protected as well. Not only will guests get to experience the beautiful culture and natural allure of the Mahahual, but they can do so with peace of mind.
Can’t get enough of Mexico? Alongside Perfect Day Mexico, Royal Caribbean will also present Royal Beach Club Cozumel by the western coast of Cozumel Island. Set for its 2026 launch, it is the epitome of the perfect beach day. Filled with pools and beaches for any and every vibe, vacationers can look forward to kicking back and relaxing or seeking a new adventure.
Sip on cocktails without leaving the water in the beach club’s swim-up bar or check out the wildlife hidden in sparkling waters as you go for a snorkel. In a place as versatile as this, who could ever get bored? With specialised pools for leisure seekers and families, private cabanas and waters for kayaking, Royal Beach Club Cozumel is sure to leave a mark on everyone!
And we can’t forget what’s quintessential to every trip: food. Not only does the beach club have flavours for days and a view that stretches to the horizon, you can also break the norm of lounging at a restaurant or bar and head down to the street market. Imbued with the taste of Mexico, it is a place you cannot miss. And if you wanna get up close and personal with your food, then be sure to check out the cooking classes as well.
All of this sounds great, but isn’t this way too far in the future? Don’t worry, we shouldn’t forget about Perfect Day at Cococay, which is still available! Parked in the paradise of the Bahamas, it raised the bar through the roof when it launched. Filled to the brim with infinite discoveries and all kinds of experiences, this highly anticipated private island did not disappoint.
Thrill seekers, Perfect Day at Cococay’s Thrill Waterpark is for you. With the tallest waterslide in North America as well as 13 other water slides awaiting, scream your way down Daredevil Tower and Splash Summit! Ride the tides in the largest wave pool in the Caribbean or run across water in the Adventure Pool as you compete with your friends across the obstacle course.
If getting your heart racing is not really your style, look towards Oasis Lagoon. The largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, Oasis Lagoon is here for a classic day at the beach. Whether with family or friends, it has 3 distinct coves to splash to your heart’s content or simply laze by the waterside with a cocktail. Plus, indulge in some alone time with a private cabana, complete with your own cabana attendant.
January 2024 also saw the opening of Hideaway Beach. Tucked away from the screaming of the waterpark, it is the private island’s first adults-only escape. If you find yourself wincing every time an ear-piercing shriek rang from across the pool or the beach, then this is made for you! So chill at the beachfront and enjoy the gentle breeze and sunshine before turning up the volume over at the Hideaway Pool.
Private time is also ensured just beyond the Hideaway Cabanas, which has The Hideout. Just close enough to the bustling of the music yet far enough to feel like you’re in your own little bubble, carve your little nook and just simply chill.
Indulge In Your Perfect Day
Now, I can talk about how great these places are for as long as I want, but nothing can do these picturesque places justice than by going yourself!
