Romantic adults-only holidays
For couples of all ages who are craving a little “us” time in a totally serene environment. The adult-only hotels for romantic holidays will have activities and facilities entirely catered towards grown-ups, so you can potentially expect massages and spa facilities, infinity pools and relaxing yoga classes, while your excursion options might be more along the lines of hikes and vineyard tours. In fact, since spa facilities are often not open to under-18s, luxury spa hotels are frequently adults-only too.
Adults-only luxury holidays
For those seeking a next-level indulgent break, look for an adult-only luxury hotel. This sort of holiday can also be idyllic for a solo trip, me-time escape where you really focus on your own wants, needs and whims – booking excursions you fancy, having treatments that will recharge you and eating precisely what you want, when you want it. Sound like bliss? Then places like Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa could be calling to you. Or, for a long-haul option, why not book an adults-only escape to Bora Bora the Maldives or the Bali?
If you’re looking for a holiday with party vibes, some resorts in places like Ibiza, Mykonos or Marbella specialise in DJ events, late-night dancing and beach parties. These hotels are geared towards giving you a fun break from your everyday life with happy hours, poolside cocktails and details like later breakfasts and late checkout too.
Adults-only holidays in the UK
Adult-only holidays in the UK often have a romantic focus – think countryside escapes with hot tubs, a glass of bubbly and no noisy neighbours. The Windermere Boutique Hotel is a great example of a cosy British bolthole surrounded by the beauty of the Lakes.

It’s really up to you, since adults-only hotels aren’t as concerned with the school-holiday “peak” season. But do bear in mind that school holidays and Christmas tend to be prime times for families to fly, so it might affect that aspect of the price. However, if you book an adults-only hotel, you’ll get the same experience year-round. Check your destination for the best time of year for the weather (the local peak season) or see if there are any local or regional festivals that might make your stay extra exciting.
