The gentle rustling of palm leaves in the breeze instantly transports you to a state of tranquility. As I reclined in a vibrant orange hammock, immersed in the beauty of Hideaway Beach on Royal Caribbean International’s Perfect Day at CocoCay private island, I couldn’t help but marvel at the soothing ambiance that enveloped me. This new adults-only area promises a blissful respite from the chaotic world, where the stresses and demands of everyday life seem to melt away.
A Symphony of Calmness
Unlike its neighboring beaches bustling with children’s laughter and a flurry of activity, Hideaway Beach maintains an aura of serenity. Here, you can luxuriate in a calm, milky-blue lagoon, undisturbed by the rambunctious play of youngsters or the calls of their parents. As I dipped my toes into the crystal-clear waters, a gentle sense of peace washed over me, creating a harmonious symphony of calmness.
Delicious anticipation filled the air as I awaited the official debut of Hideaway Beach, set to coincide with the Icon of the Seas’ inaugural paid cruise departing from Miami on January 27. As if the allure of exclusivity weren’t enough, starting in April, the esteemed Celebrity Cruises will also grace this paradisiacal island with its presence. A tranquil escape solely for adults, Hideaway Beach promises an experience tailored to sophisticated tastes and desires.
Beyond Expectations
Contrary to its name, Hideaway Beach is far from a covert sanctuary. Just beyond the shoreline, where I gazed dreamily at the mesmerizing vista, energizing party beats wafted through the air. Positioned atop a large infinity pool, a talented DJ set the vibrant tone for the entire beach, enticing guests to embrace the joy and liveliness of the moment.
The impressive infinity pool offered panoramic views of both the lagoon and the expansive ocean beyond. Eager to mingle and explore, I indulged in lively conversations with fellow vacationers while basking in the refreshing waters. On one side of the pool, a striking swim-up bar beckoned, showcasing an array of enticing tropical libations made to perfection. Seeking respite from the sun’s embrace, I ventured to the adjacent covered walk-up bar, an oasis of shade adorned with plush outdoor chairs.
Excitement in Every Corner
Hideaway Beach is not the sole alcove where adults revel in the allure of a freshwater oasis accompanied by pulsating beats. Oasis Lagoon, another lavish pool complex, caters to visitors of all ages. While the presence of children thronged the area during my previous visit on the Freedom of the Seas, Hideaway Beach remains an exclusive sanctuary for adults aged 18 and above. The element of exclusivity, coupled with a moderate price range, ensures an intimate and controlled environment, free from overcrowding.
Unveiling the Ultimate Luxury
Hideaway Beach surpasses ordinary beachfront paradises with its extravagant offerings. Two distinct categories of cabanas elevate the concept of indulgence to new heights. The ten Hideaway Cabanas, available with a full-day pass, range from $1,199 to $1,699 per package. For those seeking the utmost privacy, a collection of Hideout Cabanas awaits. Adjacent to the beach, these intimate sanctuaries boast access to a narrow infinity pool, enabling guests to swim effortlessly to their private enclave. Priced from $1,699 to $2,699, each cabana exudes an air of opulence. Complete with a mini-fridge brimming with an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, a cooler filled with refreshing water, and a personalized attendant catering to your every whim, these lavish retreats redefine the meaning of indulgence.
Paradise Unveiled
As I reluctantly bid goodbye to the allure of Hideaway Beach, I couldn’t help but reflect on the truth behind its enigmatic name. Far from being a mere hideaway, this beach exemplifies a haven where adults can revel, unwind, and create lasting memories. Here, the spotlight is cast upon those seeking vibrant social interactions and unforgettable experiences, away from the prying eyes and omnipresence of children. Hideaway Beach at CocoCay promises an alluring escape to paradise, an unapologetic celebration of life in all its splendor.
