The world's longest lazy river and water coaster slide are just two of many attractions Royal Caribbean has in store for private destination Perfect Day Mexico, scheduled to open in fall 2027.
The 200-acre getaway in the Mexican Caribbean will have multiple neighborhoods and a total of 24 bars, 12 eateries and 30-plus waterslides. Royal Caribbean is also promising plenty of opportunities to relax, including on nearly two miles of beaches dubbed "Chill Beach" and at an exclusive beach club with a heated infinity pool.
"Perfect Day Mexico is bigger and bolder than anything we have done to date," said Royal Caribbean CEO Michael Bayley. "This destination will be the ultimate vacation for families, and we cannot wait to welcome adventurers from around the world to Mexico for an experience only Royal Caribbean can provide."
Bookings for Perfect Day Mexico will open this fall. The destination will be included in Western Caribbean itineraries sailing from Galveston, New Orleans and Florida.

The destination's neighborhoods are Loco Waterpark, the lazy river's Splash Cove, the adults-only El Hideaway, the exclusive Costa Beach Club, Chill Beach and Fiesta Plaza.
Loco Waterpark will have five slide towers with more than 30 slides. The tallest tower will be the tallest in North and South America, said Royal Caribbean. It will be called Jaguar's Peak and include the world's longest coaster slide, dueling slides and a family raft slide that can fit six riders on a single raft.
Other slides in Loco Waterpark will include what Royal Caribbean is calling the world's first sombrero slide and slides that send guests airborne with a hydro-launch. There will also be a wave pool and slides for youngsters.
Splash Cove will feature a 100,000-square-foot pool and the longest lazy river in the world, according to Royal Caribbean.

Guests will be able to float the full river, which takes an hour, or enter or exit at various points. An optional section will have waves and rapids.
El Hideaway will feature a zero-entry pool, a DJ and a swim-up bar. A 20-guest Ultimate Party Cabana will have its own pool and bar.
Costa Beach Club will have white-sand beaches, a heated infinity pool and premium dining as well as private cabanas with personal attendants and a pool.
Chill Beach will span nearly two miles of white sand with complimentary lounge chairs, umbrellas and towels available.

Fiesta Plaza will be where guests enter Perfect Day Mexico. There will be live music and dance performances and what the company calls the world's largest sombrero atop the Tipsy Sombrero bar.
The destination's 12 eateries will be regionally inspired, and the majority will be complimentary. The 24 bars will include six swim-up bars.
Also, guests can expect local artisan souvenirs, art displays and mariachi performances throughout Perfect Day Mexico.
Perfect Day Mexico will be adjacent to the Costa Maya cruise port, which Royal Caribbean acquired last September. Royal Caribbean said it paid $292 million for the port and the adjacent land where Perfect Day Mexico is being built.
