Get ready for the biggest private destination Royal Caribbean has ever built. Launching in 2027 near Costa Maya, Perfect Day Mexico is set to raise the bar with record-breaking rides, massive pools, and authentic local character, all across more than 200 acres of coast. It's not just another beach stop, it's the next evolution of the Perfect Day experience.
Cruises including Perfect Day Mexico will be available to book soon. Here's what travelers can look forward to, and how to be among the first to get there.
Why Perfect Day Mexico is Making Waves
This destination isn't just bigger, it's built to deliver more of what travelers love most. Think 30+ waterslides, the world's longest lazy river, three expansive beaches, and 12 food spots across the property. Every corner has been imagined with energy and ease in mind, so guests can do everything or nothing at all in a setting that never loses its spark.
Perfect Day Mexico captures a mood that reflects the Yucatan region: vibrant yet laid-back, festive but grounded. It's the kind of place where you can spend one hour diving into the biggest slide tower in the Americas, and the next sipping cold drinks under the world's largest sombrero.
Top Experiences at Perfect Day Mexico
Jaguar's Peak: Go Big, or Go Again
Soaring above the landscape, Jaguar's Peak will be the tallest waterslide tower in the Americas. This is the crown jewel of Loco Waterpark, a pulse-pounding arena of slides that delivers a thrill with every drop. Brave the iconic 170-foot descent launched from a giant jaguar's mouth, or ride as a crew on the tallest family raft slide in North and South America.
It's designed not just for a quick rush, but to keep guests coming back again and again throughout the day. The architecture alone is worth a pause, playful yet awe-inspiring, a signal that this isn't your typical waterpark.
A Lazy River Like No Other
Drifting through the heart of this paradise is a lazy river that rewrites what a float can be. More than a mile long, this waterway winds through vibrant landscapes and shady corners, offering a constantly changing view. It's calm, it's scenic, and every so often, it gets just a little bit wild.
Guests can stop at one of three float-up bars along the way, or ride through the entire loop in an hour. There's even a hidden stretch of light rapids for those who like a bit of energy with their relaxation. It's the kind of experience where you lose track of time in the best way.
Next-Level Pools and Beaches
With six pools across the island, including one three times larger than Oasis Lagoon, there's plenty of space to swim, float, or just relax in the water. Each pool has a unique vibe, from active scenes to quiet spots perfect for a cocktail break.
Just a short walk from any pool are three different beaches, each offering its own stretch of coastline. Whether it's calm waves or soft sand that makes the day, the beaches here are crafted for easy fun and quiet escape.
Costa Beach Club
For guests looking to elevate the experience, the Costa Beach Club offers a more exclusive setting. With upgraded loungers, dining options, and a premium location on the shore, it delivers privacy without removing the guest from the energy of the day. Think of it as your personal cabana with the freedom to explore everything else when the mood strikes.
Bold Flavors, Local Flair
Perfect Day Mexico goes beyond snacks and sips; it's a place where food and drink help tell the story. Across 12 eateries and 24 bars, travelers will find dishes and drinks that reflect the region and the moment. Tacos with local spice, frozen cocktails with a twist of tequila, and unexpected bites keep things fresh all day long.
Among the most buzzworthy stops? Tipsy Sombrero, a full-service bar topped by what will become the world's largest sombrero. Fun and festive, it's the kind of spot guests will talk about long after the cruise ends. Meanwhile, Tubes & Tequila brings something new to the table: a lazy river float-up bar where guests can pull up and refresh mid-drift.
Rooted in Culture, Built by Royal Caribbean
Perfect Day Mexico was designed with intention. Rather than build replicas or stage performances, Royal Caribbean worked to incorporate natural storytelling and real elements of local flavor. The result is a space that feels connected, alive with energy, but respectful of place.
From the architecture to the music, the spirit of the Yucatan is felt in small moments. That's by design. A spirit guide experience is also being developed, offering a lightly mystical narrative thread for guests curious to explore more.
When Does Perfect Day Mexico Open?
Perfect Day Mexico will open in 2027, with bookings expected to launch in fall 2025. Itineraries featuring the destination will likely include stops in Cozumel and the upcoming Royal Beach Club Cozumel, offering a well-balanced Western Caribbean experience with both high energy and refined moments.
