There is no better way to spend a Perfect Day than at CocoCay! Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas is one of their most popular port stops, with millions of cruise passengers getting to enjoy her white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters each and every year. The 125 acre island is part of the chain of Berry Islands, and is divided into several distinct areas, each with their own name and vibe.
For the adventurous passenger, Thrill Waterpark is where you will want to spend your time. If you like a quieter area, check out Cove Beach. For guests interested in fresh water rather than salt, the Oasis Lagoon is the way to go. For an active party atmosphere, try South Beach or the adults-only Hideaway Beach. But for those passengers looking for a relaxing and chill time, look no further than Chill Island.
Chill Island is where you will find the classic island beach experience. If the goal is to enjoy a relaxing day in the sun, savoring drinks and light bites, and maybe do a bit of swimming and snorkeling- this is the place for you.
Beaches
The beach areas along Chill Island are designed to be relaxing. There are many loungers with shade umbrellas throughout the beach, as well as hammocks tucked away in the trees. You can enjoy wading or swimming in the crystal blue water- and Chill Island has some of the best snorkeling around CocoCay! You will also find a mini island library where you can borrow a book for the day.
Chill Island Cabanas
