Royal Caribbean has never been content with ordinary cruise destinations. After the runaway success of Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas, they are turning their vision south: meet Perfect Day Mexico.

Set to open in fall 2027 in Mahahual, Costa Maya, this private destination promises record-breaking attractions, vibrant culture, and plenty of reasons to add a Western Caribbean itinerary to your bucket list.

Where is Perfect Day Mexico?

Perfect Day Mexico will be located on Mexico’s Caribbean coast in Mahahual, Costa Maya. It will be a land-based resort created exclusively for Royal Caribbean guests. Unlike CocoCay, which is a private island, this private destination will be built on mainland territory. Because it is tied into the existing port at Mahahual, it will remain accessible and connected in a way similar to popular cruise ports such as Cozumel.

What Makes Perfect Day Mexico Unique?

Royal Caribbean is not just replicating CocoCay somewhere else. Perfect Day Mexico is designed to bring together bold thrills and authentic Mexican flair. Expect spirited architecture, local design, cuisine rooted in regional culture, and entertainment that draws from Mexican traditions.

Some of the highlights already confirmed include:

• Loco Waterpark with more than 30 slides across five slide towers, including Jaguar’s Peak which will stand over 170 feet tall. This will be the tallest waterslide tower in North and South America.
• The world’s longest lazy river for floating in style.
• Seven neighbourhoods designed for all kinds of travellers, from thrill seekers to families to those who just want to relax.
• Multiple dining options (12 venues) and dozens of bars (24 if current sources hold).

Time to Get Excited!

Perfect Day Mexico will offer the same balance of adrenaline and relaxation that made CocoCay unforgettable. You can ride record-setting slides one moment, lounge in a lazy river the next, or enjoy local food and live performances. For anyone who has done CocoCay, this promises something both familiar and totally new.
