Royal Caribbean announced it has signed an agreement to build the first Royal Beach Club resort in Antigua.
The cruise line and the the government of Antigua and Barbuda, along with the assistance of the Consulate General of Antigua and Barbuda, signed an agreement that marks the start of the planning and development for the Royal Beach Club scheduled to break ground later this year.
The Royal Beach Club will be available exclusively to cruise like guests and occupy more than a half-mile of pristine beachfront.
Guests visiting the club will have access to private cabanas and a stunning pool with a swim-up bar, complemented by locally inspired experiences.
There will also be regional fare, island-style BBQs, live music, along with thrills such as jet skis, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and a family splash pad.
“The Royal Beach Club will deliver a memorable beach day to our guests,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “Together with the government of Antigua and Barbuda, we will bring to life an experience that will bring more visitors to these idyllic islands and create significant economic benefits and opportunities. In addition, we are looking at ways for the local community to also enjoy the beach club on days our ships are in other destinations.”
The cruise line has also committed to bringing Symphony of the Seas to the island nation with a call on Nov. 3, 2020. Docking at a new port at the capital of St. John’s, Symphony will be the first Oasis Class ship to visit the island.
