Can we talk about one of my favorite places at Perfect Day at CocoCay for a minute? 🌴
If you love a beautiful beach, a great pool, tropical drinks, and a little peace and quiet while still having the option to turn up the fun…then you need to know about Hideaway Beach.
This adults-only oasis (18+) is located on Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. This amazing area has quickly become one of the most popular spots on the island for couples, friends, and anyone looking for a kid-free beach day.
And honestly? I completely understand why.
First…Let’s Talk About That Pool 😍
One of the things that immediately caught my attention about Hideaway Beach is the incredible infinity pool overlooking the ocean.
But here’s the thing that makes it even better…
The pool is temperature controlled!
That means no matter what time of year you visit CocoCay, the water is always comfortable. No walking in and doing that awkward “is it too cold?” dance before you get in. The pool is ready for you from the moment you step in.
The pool area is where you’ll find a lot of the energy at Hideaway Beach. There’s a swim-up bar, plenty of seating, beautiful ocean views, and music playing throughout the day. Grab your favorite drink, relax in the water, and enjoy that “I’m officially on vacation” feeling.
A Beach Day…But Make It Adults Only
Sometimes you want the excitement of a private island but also want a little more relaxation. That’s exactly where Hideaway Beach shines.
The beach area is absolutely beautiful with soft sand, clear Bahamian water, lounge chairs, umbrellas, and those picture-perfect tropical views you came to the Caribbean for.
Want to relax with a good book? You can.
Want to meet new friends and enjoy the music? You can do that too.
The best part is you get to choose your vibe for the day.
Food Is Included (And There Are Some Great Options!)
One thing I love about Royal Caribbean’s private destinations is that you don’t have to worry about missing out on food while you’re enjoying the island.
Your Hideaway Beach admission includes access to several dining options featuring beach-day favorites like:
🍔 Burgers
🍕 Fresh pizza
🍤 Coconut shrimp
🥗 Fresh salads
🐟 Ceviche
🍗 Chicken sandwiches and other favorites
Because let’s be honest…nothing ruins a beach day faster than realizing you’re hungry and have to leave paradise. 😉
Bring On The Drinks 🍹
If your perfect beach day includes a tropical cocktail (mine might 😉), Hideaway Beach has you covered.
There are multiple bars throughout the area, including the popular On the Rocks, where you can enjoy drinks, music, and incredible views.
And here’s a helpful tip: if you have Royal Caribbean’s Deluxe Beverage Package, it works on CocoCay too—including Hideaway Beach.
That means you can grab your favorite drink without worrying about leaving the island or having a large bar tab.
Want To Make It Extra Special?
Celebrating something? Birthday? Anniversary? Girls’ trip? Just because you deserve it?
Hideaway Beach also offers cabanas if you want to take your day to the next level.
They give you a private space to relax while still being close enough to enjoy everything happening around you. It’s a great option if you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to spoil yourself a little.
So…Is Hideaway Beach Worth It?
For me, the answer is yes.
If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing beach day, you’ll find it.
If you’re looking for music, drinks, and a fun atmosphere, you’ll find that too.
That’s what makes Hideaway Beach so great—you can make the day exactly what you want it to be.
Spend the morning floating in the temperature-controlled pool, grab lunch with your toes in the sand, enjoy a frozen drink at the bar, and take in those beautiful Caribbean views.
It’s everything you love about a tropical island getaway—with the added bonus of being adults only.
My Little Tip 🌴
