Best Adults-Only Resorts for Couples
Planning a romantic getaway without the kids? Escape to one of these adults-only beach resorts for some much-needed R&R. Some resorts cater to families — others won't let kids past the front entrance. If the latter is what you're after, you're in luck. These beach resorts cater to grown-ups and couples with days that are tantrum-free and nights that are PG-13. Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort – Aruba
Not even a wedding can disturb your together time at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort: The 104-room boutique stopped hosting them in 2015. Expect quiet ways to connect — a classic movie in the moonlight, a couple's photo shoot arranged by the staff. The hotel also encourages guests to get out and explore, so pack a picnic for a day of desert hiking in Arikok National Wildlife Park, complete with a stop at Huliba Cave, called the Tunnel of Love because of its heart-shaped entrance.
Couples San Souci – Jamaica
From newlyweds to veterans celebrating their silver anniversary, guests at Couples Sans Souci get excited for the Starlight Gala and Cabaret, held Friday nights on the main lawn. The weekly event features a giant buffet and live music that invariably gets partners on their feet. Late night, the dance party continues at the Au Naturel Beach (note: Clothing not optional after sunset).
Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa – Bermuda
Cozy spots for two abound on one of the property's four pink-sand beaches, as well as at the main pool, renovated in 2007 to add waterfalls, tiered decks and rustling palms. To really embrace Bermuda's buttoned-up culture, pause each day for afternoon tea.
Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort – Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Los Cabos has such a wealth of romantic hotels that each property vies to win couples with its own roster of exclusive offerings. Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort's bid: a "Hook & Cook" interactive ceviche-making class, mixology lessons, a beach clambake, and even a rocking beach bed that comes with eight uninterrupted hours of food-and-drink service. Game, set, match.
Occidental Papagayo – Costa Rica
While on your way to the freeform pool at Occidental Papagayo, don't be surprised if you run into a white-throated magpie jay or a band of coatis (small mammals related to the raccoon). This Pacific coast all-inclusive is a magnet for wildlife and also earns praise for its affordability.
TRS Yucatan Hotel – Riviera Maya, Mexico
Debuted December 2017, TRS Yucatan Hotel is the exclusive adults-only wing of Palladium's enormous all-inclusive resort complex in the Mexican Caribbean. While families are having character breakfasts on the other side of the 300-acre property, TRS guests are quietly sipping margaritas by the three-tier infinity pool, soaking in the spa's "wet zones," and feeding each other paella at the Ibiza-style Helios beach club. Book a Romance Suite to wash up in your outdoor shower and paddle around the lagoon in your own personal canoe.
