Grand Lido Negril Au-Naturel Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Grand Lido Negril is a compact 26 suite au naturel enclave at the quiet north end of the Royalton Negril complex, with one accommodation block, a pool and dry sand deck facing rocky ironshore. Key choices involve privacy versus swim out access, navigating between nude and clothing required zones, and arranging movement to shared dining hubs and the Montego Bay airport corridor.
| Area / Zone | Best For | Key Tip | Watch Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Lido Enclave (Building 65 and pool deck) | Adults seeking small scale au naturel hub with butler support | Treat it as a cul de sac, few passersby beyond guests | Privacy is internal, but neighboring condos and excursion boats can see in |
| Dry Beach and rocky ocean ladder frontage | Nude sunbathing on real sand with direct sea views | Expect ladder entry into immediately deep water, not walk in shoreline | Limited access for mobility issues, ladders unsuitable for some guests |
| Reggae Bar and Grill building beside Grand Lido pool | Casual nude dining, daytime drinks, staying within enclave during meals | Plan main meals here when you prefer avoiding clothing required walk | Food variety narrower than main complex, hours may not cover late cravings |
| Hideaway at Royalton adults only pool and beach zone | Quiet clothed beach time and Dorado breakfasts shared with Grand Lido | Remember clothing required checkpoint when moving between Grand Lido and Hideaway | More foot traffic and ambient noise than enclave, less naturist atmosphere |
| Central Royalton lobby, buffet, and specialty restaurant cluster | Evening dining rotation, entertainment, and broader bar options beyond enclave | Allow five to ten minutes walking or request butler arranged golf cart | High energy family atmosphere, louder spaces than Grand Lido pool deck |

Grand Lido Negril operates as a tightly defined au naturel zone at the far north end of the Royalton Negril master plan, with all suites in one ocean facing block beside a nude pool, dry sand deck, and Reggae Bar. Guests move clothed through the adults only Hideaway and central lobby hub for most restaurants, spa access, and sandy beach time, typically using butler arranged golf carts for longer walks.
2025 Grand Lido Negril Au-Naturel Map Guide
Think of the map in layers: the small Grand Lido enclave at the tip for au naturel pool and sun, the adults only Hideaway strip as a clothed buffer, then the larger family Royalton spine with lobby, spa, and restaurants. Plan days by deciding when you stay nude around Building 65 and the dry beach, and when you dress for golf cart or walking runs to meals, entertainment, and sandy shoreline.
How is Grand Lido Negril laid out, and where are its main buildings and zones?
Grand Lido Negril is a small north end enclave, with one suite block, a pool and dry beach deck, beside Royalton and Hideaway hubs.
The Royalton complex runs along the coast south to north, with family rooms at the south, a central lobby and restaurant spine in the middle, then the adults only Hideaway as a buffer. Grand Lido sits at the very northern tip as a dead end, accessed through a staffed checkpoint that limits entry to wristbanded guests.
Inside the enclave, Building 65 holds all 26 suites in a two level ocean facing block, with ground floor swim outs and upper floor sunset view suites. Next to it, Building 66 anchors the Reggae Bar & Grill and service spaces. In front, the main nude pool, hot tub, and elevated dry sand deck occupy the narrow strip between the building and the rocky ironshore.
Where on the Grand Lido Negril property are au-naturel areas versus clothing-required areas located?
Grand Lido’s nude zone covers its pool, dry beach, bar and suites, while all Royalton and Hideaway paths, lobbies and beaches require clothing.
The au naturel area is the walled enclave at the far north end: Building 65 suites, their balconies and terraces, the Grand Lido pool and hot tub, the dry sand deck on the ironshore, the ocean ladder entry, and the Reggae Bar & Grill are all nude permitted. Guests can remain undressed anywhere within this gated zone as long as behavior follows the elegant naturism code.
The moment you pass the staffed checkpoint toward Hideaway and the main Royalton spine, normal resort dress rules apply. All walkways, lobbies, golf cart rides, restaurants, Dorado, central pools, the spa, and the sandy beaches to the south are clothing required. The nude zone is physically separated from other guests, but it is still visible from nearby condos and passing tour boats, so complete visual seclusion is not guaranteed.
Where are Grand Lido Negril Au-Naturel restaurants, bars, pools, and key amenities located around the resort?
Grand Lido’s only on site venue is the nude Reggae Bar, while all other restaurants and bars sit south in the Hideaway and central Royalton spine.
Most key spots group into a few zones relative to the Grand Lido enclave at the north tip.
- Grand Lido enclave: Nude pool, hot tub, dry sand deck and ocean ladder sit directly in front of Building 65, with the Reggae Bar & Grill in the small adjacent service building.
- Hideaway adults only strip: Walk south through the checkpoint to reach the Hideaway pool and beach area, with Dorado restaurant along this border, shared by Hideaway and Grand Lido for breakfast and lunch.
- Central Royalton hub: Continue south to the main lobby cluster for Gourmet Marche buffet, Hunter Steakhouse, Zen teppanyaki, Calypso, Armadillo, C/X, Martini Mix bar, Score Sports Bar and the Royal Spa.
- Main Royalton beach and pools: Farther along the seafront, clothing required pools, the Sands beach bar, Grazie and other family oriented amenities line the wider sandy bay.
What are the main transport options and routes from Montego Bay airport to Grand Lido Negril?
Transfers from MBJ are mainly shared shuttles, private vans, or helicopter plus taxi, all following the coastal A1 highway to Negril.
Most options use the same 75 to 90 minute road route along the A1 North Coast Highway through Sandy Bay, Hopewell and Lucea before turning toward Negril.
- Shared shuttle or big tour bus – usually included in packages, lowest cost, but makes multiple resort stops and can run 90 to 120 minutes.
- Scheduled coach such as Knutsford Express – mid priced, about 90 minutes, but requires getting to and from the coach terminal.
- Private taxi or van – direct service, typically 75 to 80 minutes, higher cost but high privacy and flexibility for stops.
- Helicopter to Negril Aerodrome – about 15 minutes flight time, premium pricing, followed by a short ground taxi to the Royalton entrance.
- Club MoBay add on – not a transfer itself, but fast tracks immigration and departure, smoothing the MBJ end of any chosen transport.
Where is Grand Lido Negril Au-Naturel located along Negril’s Seven Mile Beach relative to other nearby resorts?
Grand Lido sits at the rocky point north of Seven Mile’s main sand strip, just south of Hedonism II and within the Royalton Negril complex.
Grand Lido occupies the far northern tip of the Negril resort zone, on Norman Manley Boulevard in Hanover, where ironshore separates Bloody Bay from Long Bay. The enclave forms the north end of the Royalton Negril and Hideaway complex, with Grand Lido at the terminus. Hedonism II lies immediately to the north, while Point Village condos overlook the area.
Most classic Seven Mile Beach resorts line the broader sandy arc to the south, so Grand Lido guests are slightly removed from that central strip.
How does Grand Lido Negril Au-Naturel sit within the larger Royalton Negril complex, and which areas are shared or separate?
Grand Lido is a gated au naturel wing at Royalton’s north tip, sharing restaurants, spa and beaches but keeping its nude pool zone separate.
Physically, the Royalton complex runs south to north from the family section, through the central lobby and restaurant hub, into the adults only Hideaway, and finally ends at the Grand Lido enclave. Grand Lido is a dead end, reached through a staffed checkpoint that blocks regular Royalton guests from entering the nude area, pool deck and suites.
Operationally, Grand Lido shares the main lobby, spa, Dorado, buffet, specialty restaurants, bars and sandy beaches, all of which are clothing required once you leave the enclave.
Which room buildings or categories at Grand Lido Negril offer the best and most direct ocean views?
For the strongest ocean views, target upper floor Sunset Ocean View and Penthouse suites in Building 65 rather than ground floor swim outs.
All Grand Lido suites sit in one ocean facing block, but some positions are better for horizon views and privacy.
- Upper floor Sunset Ocean View suites – Best blend of height and angle, looking over the pool deck to uninterrupted sea and sunset, with less eye level foot traffic.
- Penthouse / Presidential suites – Highest location and largest terraces, combining wide ocean panorama with rooftop style privacy, suited to special occasions.
- Ground floor Sunset Swim Out suites – Still face the sea, but views are filtered through the main pool deck and guests walking to the Reggae Bar, trading view purity for water access.
