Wondering what’s in store for Royal Caribbean’s highly anticipated new private destination Perfect Day Mexico? They recently revealed details of what guests will enjoy when Perfect Day Mexico opens in 2027, and showcased some of the exciting new features in a video.
Spread across more than 200 acres on Mexico’s vibrant Caribbean coast, the game-changing destination will deliver a true Mexican spirit across the design, feel and experiences including the tallest waterslides across North and South America, the world’s longest lazy river and so much more. Guests will have an unparalleled lineup of experiences waiting onshore—a thrilling waterpark; jaw-dropping pools; a selection of 12 regionally-inspired dining spots from sit down meals to grab-and-go eateries; artisan shops from local vendors; and plenty of beach and lounge spots to take in spectacular ocean views. Toast your holiday at one of 24 bars, including six swim-up bars and enjoy Mariachi performances and art installations that further bring Mexican culture to life for guests.
Nestled along Mexico’s Caribbean coast in Mahahual—the town where Costa Maya Cruise port is located, in the state of Quintana Roo—Perfect Day Mexico will combine the adrenaline pumping thrills and ways to chill Royal Caribbean is known for with the beauty and vibrant charm of Mexico.
Upon opening in autumn 2027, Perfect Day Mexico will welcome Western Caribbean itineraries sailing from Galveston, New Orleans and Florida ports. Itineraries featuring Perfect Day Mexico will become available to book this fall.
Thrill-seekers can conquer more than 30 adrenaline-pumping waterslides across five slide towers, including the tallest waterslide tower—and waterslides—across North and South America. The more than 170-foot-tall Jaguar’s Peak features two duelling slides, taking riders through more than two minutes of pure thrill and the longest coaster waterslide in the world. Vacationers can scale new heights across the tower’s 10 slides, and they can even do so together on the tallest family raft slide, designed for four to six riders at once. There are more thrills across the waterpark with hydro-launch slides that shoot riders into the air and the world’s first sombrero slide, modelled after Mexico’s iconic sombrero. Plus, adventure pools, a wave pool and slides designed for younger kids ensure there’s something for everyone.
The central neighbourhood for guests of all ages to go all-in will introduce the longest lazy river in the world—with a crazy side. Along the hour-long float are multiple entry and exit points and plenty of ways to stay hydrated with float-up bars and a cupholder in every tube. And for those who dare, an optional crazy section of the river features unexpected twists and turns with waves, rapids and spins. In the centre of it all is a seemingly never-ending 100,000-square-foot pool—just one of Perfect Day Mexico’s more than 10 expansive pools that together span the size of four football fields. The little ones have their own adventures at Royal Caribbean’s largest Splashaway Bay with waterslides sized just for them. The first-ever Splashaway Cabanas right nearby make it the perfect home base for families.
At this adults-only neighbourhood, day pass holders 18 years and older can party all day long with a zero-entry pool, swim-up bar and in-pool DJ. Those looking to celebrate big can max out the party vibes at the new Ultimate Party Cabana for 20 guests, with its own pool and bar. For unmatched chill, El Hideaway sets the scene with live music, toes-in-the-sand bars and cabanas.
Guests looking to upgrade their beach day to the next level of exclusivity can enjoy the white sand beaches, heated infinity pool and premium dining of Costa Beach Club. And for the ultimate retreat, adventurers can spend the day in a private cabana with a personal cabana attendant, thoughtful amenities and a dedicated pool.
Vacationers looking to kick back can enjoy the natural beauty of Mexico along nearly two miles of white sand beaches at Chill Beach, spanning north and south from the pier. Guests can enjoy complimentary loungers, umbrellas and towels at all beaches and pools at Perfect Day Mexico.
Where all the festivities begin: a vibrant arrival area transports vacationers straight to the heart of Mexico with live music and dance. Plus, the world’s largest sombrero sits atop the Tipsy Sombrero bar, welcoming guests with margaritas, cervezas and more.
