Royal Caribbean is taking the concept of paradise to the next level with its newly announced Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, set to open in December 2025. As the first in the company’s Royal Beach Club Collection, this 17-acre retreat promises an all-inclusive experience that blends the beauty of Paradise Island with the cruise line’s signature flair.

Guests can look forward to two stunning beaches, three pools, the world’s largest swim-up bar, and an array of dining and drinking options. For those seeking an elevated experience, the beach club will offer over 40 cabanas, including the luxurious Ultimate Family Cabana, complete with personal attendant service.

The best U.S. beaches you’ve never heard of — until now

America’s best-kept beach secrets, according to locals

Pa'ako Cove, Hawaii

Want to enjoy a beach day without the crowds, parking hassles, or the battle for the perfect spot on the sand? A recent survey by Frugal Flyer asked 3,002 locals to reveal the best hidden beaches across the country.

Unsurprisingly, Hawaii dominates the list. Topping the charts is Awahua Beach, tucked away at the base of Moloka‘i’s Kalaupapa Peninsula. This small black-sand beach, framed by cliffs nearly 2,000 feet high, is part of a National Historical Park that once served as a leprosy settlement. Accessible only by mule, a tough hike, or a small plane, Awahua’s remote location makes it one of Hawaii’s most quiet escapes.

Avoid hurricanes and high prices: The best time to visit the Bahamas revealed

The best time to visit the Bahamas for every type of traveler

The Bahamas

The Bahamas is one of my all-time favorite places. What I wouldn’t give right now to be lounging at Atlantis Paradise Island, drink in hand, soaking up that turquoise view. Whether it’s the powder-soft beaches of Nassau or the crystal-clear waters of the Exumas Islands, this tropical escape has something for everyone. But as magical as it is, not every month delivers the same postcard-perfect experience.

If you’ve ever tried planning a trip to the Bahamas, you’ve likely run into the big three questions: Will it be packed? Will it rain the whole time? And why is everything so expensive? Like many dream destinations, timing is everything, and choosing the right season can make or break your vacation.

Looking for a beachy Fourth of July getaway that won’t blow your budget? According to Dollar Flight Club’s newly released July 4th 2025 Travel Report, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ranks as the best-value beach destination for Independence Day weekend.

The report analyzed more than 250,000 recent airfare price points to spotlight the most affordable domestic and short-haul international trips for the holiday. And while beach vacations are always in high demand for July 4, that doesn’t mean they have to come with a high price tag.
