All-inclusive vacations are a fantastic idea for family trips because of the money you could save by including food and drink in the price of your vacation. This resort-style trip has become increasingly popular in the last several years, especially with so many of the major hotel chains adding them to their portfolios.

However, what about travelers who don’t have kids? Even better, what about those that just don’t want kids around at their resort? There’s a time and a place when all you want is a quiet place to relax and enjoy your partner or friends on a group trip.

There are plenty of fabulous adults-only all-inclusive resorts to choose from. Here’s our complete guide to choosing the right one for you.

The Rules of Adults-Only Resorts

There’s really only 1 rule per se when it comes to an adults-only all-inclusive resort: all guests must be at least 18 years old. Usually. As you’ll see, some resorts in Europe call themselves adults-only but allow guests as young as 14 years old. Those in their late 20s and beyond might be put off by an 18 and over crowd, but it’s true that in most places outside of the U.S., the drinking age is 18, and guests of that age are thus treated as adults.

Adults-only all-inclusive resorts work the same way as those all-inclusive resorts that allow children or those under 18 years old. For the rate you pay per night, you receive food and drinks as well as most on-property amenities like a pool, fitness center, and water sports equipment rentals.

Some adults-only resorts take it a step further and require that all guests be in a couple, meaning they do not allow solo travelers. Another niche of this resort style is “au naturel,” or areas of the resort that are clothing optional or no clothing allowed. You’re not going to find that at a family-friendly all-inclusive resort.

Where To Find Adults-Only All-Inclusive Resorts

All-inclusive resorts are plentiful in the Caribbean and Mexico, but they can also be found in Central America, Europe, and the U.S.

It’s easy to see if an all-inclusive resort is adults-only because it will typically be prominently displayed on their website.

Hot Tip:

Best Way To Book an All-Inclusive Vacation

While some of the all-inclusive resorts on this list are part of World Of Hyatt or Marriott Bonvoy and are therefore bookable with hotel points, a lot of all-inclusive resorts are not part of large hotel brands. In this case, it’s important to consider how you book your stay if you’re trying to make the most of your investment.

Some credit cards earn bonus points when booking hotels through their portal. For example, you can earn 10x miles per dollar spent at hotels booked through the Capital One Travel portal with the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card. You could also elect to use a credit card that earns bonus points on travel booked anywhere. The Chase Sapphire Reserve® earns 3x points per dollar on travel and comes with an annual travel statement credit of $300.

Keep in mind that some adults-only resorts in Europe allow guests as young as 14 years old to stay, while others have a minimum age requirement of 21 years old. Either way, you’re bound to have a relaxing vacation solo, with a partner, or with a group.
