Royal Beach Club Lelepa is bringing a whole new kind of beach day to the South Pacific — and it’s made for Aussie and Kiwi cruisers. As Royal Caribbean’s first exclusive destination in the region, Lelepa pairs pristine beaches with laid-back island dining and easy adventures like snorkelling, kayaking and scenic walks.
With entry included in your cruise fare, it’s set to become one of the most exciting new highlights on your South Pacific itinerary.
Unlike Royal Caribbean’s other beach destinations, Lelepa is all about the natural beauty and relaxed rhythm of the South Pacific. Think crystal-clear waters, tropical scenery, local flavour and a more immersive island feel from the moment you arrive. It’s less about high-energy thrills and more about soaking up paradise, South Pacific style.

Royal Beach Club Lelepa is located on Lelepa Island in Vanuatu, in the South Pacific, just off the coast of Efate near Port Vila. That puts it within easy reach of one of Vanuatu’s main cruise regions, while still offering the secluded feel of an exclusive island beach escape.
Royal is leasing one section of the island, but it will be large enough to comfortably accommodate the needs of the Quantum Ships that can carry around 4,000 guests.
From October 2027, Royal Caribbean will include Lelepa on South Pacific cruises sailing on Anthem of the Seas from Sydney and Voyager of the Seas from Brisbane.
