What is unique to Perfect Day at CocoCay?

Perfect Day is home to bars, beaches, restaurants, a sprawling pool, the largest water park in the Caribbean featuring North America's tallest waterslide and even a hot air balloon ride. When visiting CocoCay in the Bahamas, it may be a challenge to know exactly what is included and what isn't.



Perfect Day at CocoCay is Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas, and it is unique for being a "hybrid" of a luxury beach resort and a full-scale waterpark. Its most iconic feature is Daredevil’s Peak, which at 135 feet is the tallest waterslide in North America. It also boasts the Oasis Lagoon, the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, complete with a massive swim-up bar and underwater music. For a unique aerial perspective, the Up, Up and Away helium balloon takes guests 450 feet into the air—the highest vantage point in the Bahamas. Unlike other private islands that require "tendering" (taking small boats to shore), CocoCay features a massive pier that allows even the world’s largest cruise ships to dock directly. In 2026, the island’s exclusive Coco Beach Club offers the only "overwater cabanas" in the Bahamas, providing a Maldives-style luxury experience just a short walk from the ship’s gangway.
