Exploring the Cabanas of Castaway Cay: A Map Guide

Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line’s private island, offers a slice of paradise, and for those seeking extra luxury and privacy, the cabanas are the ultimate experience. Understanding the layout and location of these coveted retreats is crucial to choosing the perfect cabana for your family.

Cabana Locations: A Bird’s-Eye View

Imagine Castaway Cay as divided into a few key beach areas. The family beach is the central hub, buzzing with activity. Moving towards Serenity Bay, the adults-only area, the atmosphere becomes increasingly tranquil. The cabanas are primarily situated along the beaches on the family side, extending towards Serenity Bay and boasting varying proximity to amenities.

Family Beach Cabanas

These cabanas, numbered 1-10, are closest to the main family beach activities. Expect easy access to Scuttle’s Cove (the kids’ club), the family-friendly Pelican Point beach area, and Cookie’s BBQ. They’re ideal for families with young children who want to be in the heart of the action. While incredibly convenient, these cabanas tend to be busier and offer less seclusion.

Serenity Bay Cabanas

These cabanas (generally higher numbered) are located on the opposite end, near the entrance of Serenity Bay. They offer a more secluded experience with stunning views of the turquoise water. These cabanas are farther from the main family beach, and require a little more walking (or golf cart ride) for amenities, but it’s worth it for the increased privacy. These are a great choice for couples, families with older children, or anyone who prioritizes a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. Note that they are not exclusively reserved for adults; families are welcome.

Grand Family Beach Cabanas

These are the largest and most luxurious cabanas, located on a secluded section of the family beach. They boast an expanded deck space, a private sandy area, and upgraded amenities. Due to their size and prime location, they’re perfect for larger families or groups traveling together. Expect to pay a premium for these top-tier options.

What to Consider When Choosing a Cabana

• Proximity to Amenities: How close do you want to be to the family beach, restrooms, dining, and activities?
• Privacy: Do you prefer a bustling atmosphere or a secluded retreat?
• View: Some cabanas offer unobstructed ocean views, while others have partial views.
• Accessibility: Consider the distance to the cabana from the tram stop, especially if you have mobility issues.

Booking a cabana on Castaway Cay is highly competitive, so planning is essential. Reviewing available maps and carefully considering your family’s needs will help you secure the perfect cabana for an unforgettable island experience. While exact cabana numbers are not publicly mapped, understanding their general location relative to key areas is key to a great choice.
