What is an adult only holiday?

An adult only holiday is a child-free escape for guests aged 16+, 18+, or 21+, depending on the resort. Expect peaceful pools, fine dining, and uninterrupted downtime.

They’re just like regular holidays. Same sun, same cocktails - but they’re kid-free. That’s the magic.

This page is dedicated to grown-up escapes. No tantrums. No cries. Just adult holidays only. 

Some focus on romance, relaxation and pampering perks. Others bring the party with a side of wellness.

Top reasons to choose adult only holidays

If you’re craving calm, adult only holidays give you exactly that – space to properly relax, without kids running around. 

We love them for the quiet mornings, the slow afternoons, and the fact that the only soundtrack is waves, clinking glasses, or maybe a live acoustic set.

  • Child-free tranquility: Peace and quiet, all day long — stretched out on a sun-lounger, drifting in the infinity pool – no shrieks, no splashes.
  • Romantic getaways: Many adult only holidays double as romantic escapes – couples’ massages, hot tubs for two and candlelit dinners.
  • Grown-up luxuries: Swim-up suites, sky-high bars, and fine dining that looks as good as it tastes – no kids’ menus here. 
  • Adult activities: Morning yoga, wine tastings, live music, rooftop lounges — more martinis than macaroni art.
  • Privacy and seclusion: Your own little bubble — space to breathe, reset, and connect with grown-ups who get it.
