Philip Simon, president and general manager of Royal Beach Club and Royal Caribbean International Bahamas, expressed confidence in Lubin’s expertise. “Stacy Lubin has built an inspiring career on the very combination that also drives Royal Caribbean’s vision for Royal Beach Club Paradise Island: the passion for conservation and the commitment to protecting The Bahamas’ natural resources combined with advocating for innovative and sustainable methods to steer development,” Simon said.
He highlighted that Lubin’s 20 years of experience would be crucial in guiding the environmental work to preserve the natural beauty of the island while enhancing its accessibility.
Royal Caribbean outlined its environmental strategy for the Royal Beach Club in April 2023, focusing on six key components: zero waste-to-landfill, renewable energy, no dredging, no overwater cabanas, wastewater treatment, habitat protection and enhancement, and ongoing environmental monitoring.
Lubin brings extensive experience in sustainability, environmental policy, and compliance. She holds a bachelor’s degree in marine biology and coastal ecology from the University of Plymouth and a Master of Science in sustainable environmental management from Middlesex University. Her career includes senior roles in several leading Bahamian organizations, such as project manager of environment and operations for Sterling Global and project coordinator for Baha Mar Development Company.
This appointment follows the recent announcement of Captain Cameron Gibson as the harbormaster of Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, where he will oversee daily harbor operations. Royal Caribbean has also opened its first Bahamas-based office in Nassau to support local recruitment efforts for the beach club.
The Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is the first of Royal Caribbean’s Royal Beach Club Collection, with an emphasis on integrating Bahamian culture, food, and staff. The project also includes a public-private partnership that allows Bahamians to own up to 49% equity in the beach club. The company plans to reveal more details about the new beach club as the 2025 opening approaches.
