New adults-only beach club coming to Carnival’s Celebration Key

Carnival Cruise Line’s new private Bahamas destination was planned with guests of all ages in mind – including grown-ups who want to get away from it all.
The cruise line revealed details about Pearl Cove Beach Club on Thursday, an adults-only area at Celebration Key, which is slated to open in July 2025. The destination will be located on the island of Grand Bahama.
“Celebration Key will give our guests elevated options and experiences across its five portals and we’ve specifically designed Pearl Cove Beach Club as the perfect place for adults to lounge, unwind or relax in their own paradise,” the line’s president, Christine Duffy, said in a news release.
The beach club will feature an 11,000-square-foot infinity pool with a swim-up bar and water loungers. Guests can also kick back in sun loungers and daybeds, while a DJ plays “tropical lounge music,” the cruise line said. A private beach will offer more loungers and food and drink service by the water, or passengers can grab a bite at a full-service restaurant.
Pearl Cove visitors can choose from three tiers:
“Food from the restaurant is only included in the highest tier, but food and beverages will be available a la carte for the other tiers,” Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli said in an email. Reservations are now open for visits through Jan. 2, 2026.

The beach club will be one of five distinct areas, or portals, at Celebration Key, including the family-friendly Starfish Lagoon and shopping village Lokono Cove.
