Which ship is the hideaway pool on Royal Caribbean?

Escape to new heights of bragworthy at the beach club inspired Hideaway, only on Icon of the Seas?.



The Hideaway Pool is a signature feature on Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas and its sister ship, Star of the Seas. This unique "adults-only" neighborhood is located at the aft (rear) of the ship on Deck 15, offering a beach club atmosphere inspired by destinations like Ibiza and Mykonos. The centerpiece is the first suspended infinity pool at sea, which hangs eight stories above the ocean, providing uninterrupted views of the wake. The area is designed for travelers who want to escape the more family-centric zones of the ship, featuring its own dedicated bar, a DJ booth, and tiered whirlpools. In 2026, the Hideaway has become one of the most popular "photo spots" on the Icon-class vessels, so "pro" cruisers often head there early in the morning on sea days to snag a prime lounger with a view of the horizon.
