Royal Caribbean reveals details of adults-only area on private Bahamas island CocoCay

For those seeking a little serenity from the family-friendly fun found all over Royal Caribbean’s private Bahamas island Perfect Day at CocoCay, the cruise line has carved out a new space just for adults that will be opening in January.

The area called Hideaway Beach is set off a good chunk from the rest of the island, the actual name of which is Little Stirrup Cay, a relatively tiny island that’s about 1 mile long and 1/3 mile wide. A large portion of that space was revamped in 2019 to add a massive water park, balloon ride and the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, a 3/4-acre offering with a swim-up bar and a 1,750-person capacity among other features.

That included a dock that allowed for up to two of Royal Caribbean’s massive Oasis-class vessels to pull alongside at the same time, meaning an island could see as many 14,000 visitors at one time.

Royal Caribbean has since rolled out more features such as overwater cabanas, but Hideaway Beach will be the first devoid of children. read more
