“Take me to an adults-only resort.” It’s something you probably find yourself saying all the time, whether you’re looking for a getaway or just a hotel that’s a little bit more tranquil.
And while there are great inclusions at all-inclusive resorts around the Caribbean, sometimes a little exclusion is the greatest luxury.
Often, if you don’t have kids, you don’t want them coming along with you on vacation. And if you do have kids, and you’ve left them at home for your vacation, you don’t want to be around other people’s kids.
That is the adults-only experience in a nutshell.
But there’s more to it than that: the best Adults-Only All-Inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean offer that extra degree of romance, food, sensuality and ambience. At these hotels, every stay is like its own honeymoon.
Palm Island, St Vincent and the Grenadines This 43-room private-island resort near Union Island in the Grenadines, might be the ultimate adults-only all-inclusive beach getaway. It’s an exotic, beautiful and ceaselessly romantic island with an enchanting kind of feel. This isn’t just an adults-only resort, it’s an adults-only island. To put it simply, every visit here is a honeymoon. For an even more luxurious stay, try one of the villas.

It’s an easy pick for one of the best Adults Only All-Inclusive Resorts in the whole region.

Hedonism II, Jamaica This is the most adult out of all the adults-only resorts we’ve named. We put it on this list because it’s really a one-of-a-kind resort, the kind of which doesn’t exist anywhere else. And we felt that we couldn’t do a list of adults-only resorts without mentioning Hedonism. This a wild hotel and it’s a party hotel. It’s a hotel that pushes boundaries.
