Club Cards & Amenities: Navigating Royal Westmoreland’s New 2026 Access Fee
Planning a stay at Royal Westmoreland and unsure how the new 2026 access fee affects your holiday? If you want to avoid surprises at check-in and understand exactly how Club Cards & amenities work, the key detail is simple: effective 1 May 2026, Royal Westmoreland amenities are subject to a per-villa, per-week charge, payable when you collect your Club Cards from the Clubhouse. This guide explains what that means, how the process works, and what guests should know before arrival.
Whether you are staying in Royal Westmoreland - Royal Apartment 214 by Island Villas or selecting another villa within the estate, understanding the Club Card system helps you plan your stay more confidently and make the most of the facilities available on property.
What Is the Royal Westmoreland 2026 Access Fee?
The Royal Westmoreland 2026 access fee is a per-villa, per-week charge for access to Royal Westmoreland amenities.
This applies effective 1st May 2026. Guests can settle this fee at the time of collecting their Club Cards from the Clubhouse.
In practical terms, this means:
- The fee is linked to the villa, not described as a per-person resort charge.
- It is charged per week.
- Payment is handled when guests collect Club Cards.
- The fee is specifically tied to Royal Westmoreland amenities.
For guests, the most important takeaway is that amenity access is no longer something to assume automatically. It now comes with a defined charge structure from 1 May 2026 onward.
What Are Club Cards?
Club Cards are the access mechanism used for Royal Westmoreland facilities.
Guests are required to collect their Club Cards from the Resort Club House. Once issued, the cards allow access to the facilities available through the membership attached to the accommodation.
At a glance, Club Cards are important because they:
- Confirm guest access to eligible facilities
- Connect your stay to the resort’s amenity system
- Form part of the arrival process for guests using estate amenities
If your stay includes access to Royal Westmoreland facilities, collecting these cards should be treated as one of your first practical steps after arrival.
How Do Guests Pay the Access Fee?
The process is straightforward.
Payment process
- Arrive for your stay.
- Go to the Clubhouse to collect your Club Cards.
- Settle the per-villa, per-week charge for Royal Westmoreland amenities.
That is the payment point specifically identified for the new 2026 fee structure.
For some villas within Royal Westmoreland, guide information also notes a Club Card cost of USD $10 per day per person. In those cases, guests are also directed to collect their Club Cards from the Resort Club House.
Because access terms can vary by property and membership type, it is wise to review the details attached to your specific accommodation before travel.
What Amenities Can Club Cards Unlock?
The answer depends on the accommodation and the type of membership attached to it. However, the available information shows that Royal Westmoreland stays can include access to facilities on the estate and, in some cases, the Royal Westmoreland Beach Club on Mullins Beach.
On-property amenities
Royal Westmoreland is centered around a par 72, 7045-yard championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr. The course sits in a lush tropical landscape and is described as calling for every club in your bag.
Depending on the property and membership level, guest access may include facilities on the Royal Westmoreland property such as:
- Golf-related access at eligible properties
- Fitness facilities
- Swimming pools
- Dining venues
- Wider resort amenities accessed through Club Cards
Beach access
Some villas note access to the Royal Westmoreland Beach Club on Mullins Beach as part of the membership attached to the property.
This is especially useful for guests who want to combine an inland resort stay with time at one of the west coast’s most popular beach areas.
Membership Type Matters
Not every property carries the same access profile. This is one of the most important points for guests to understand.
Full Royal Westmoreland Membership
Some villas are listed with Full Royal Westmoreland Membership. In these cases, the guide notes that guests have access to:
- Facilities on Royal Westmoreland property
- The Royal Westmoreland Beach Club on Mullins Beach
Social Royal Westmoreland Membership
Other villas are listed with Social Royal Westmoreland Membership. In these cases, guests have access to:
- Facilities on Royal Westmoreland property
- The Royal Westmoreland Beach Club on Mullins Beach
- Excluding golf
That difference is crucial. If golf is a priority for your trip, do not assume every Royal Westmoreland stay includes it.
