Whether you’re on your honeymoon or just want a tranquil getaway for you and yours, the Caribbean is filled with terrific adults-only resorts, many of them of the all-inclusive variety.
That combination has proven to be particularly popular with travelers, marrying the quiet and seclusion of the adults-only concept with the effortless convenience of all-inclusive hotels.
And if you’re thinking of an adults-only getaway right now, we have you covered with five of our favorites in the Caribbean right now, from hidden boutique stays to sexy secluded resorts.
Warwick Paradise Island, Bahamas The twin destination of Nassau Paradise Island is one of the region’s most complete places to visit, with a vibrant food scene, gaming, culture, beaches and history. And while most of the destination’s hotels are of the EP variety, one Paradise Island outpost has exactly what you’re looking for: the adults-only, all-inclusive Warwick Paradise Island. The global brand’s only hotel in the English-speaking Caribbean, it’s a bright, energetic waterfront hotel with a strong culinary offering to boot.
Sunset at the Palms, Jamaica One of Jamaica’s best-kept secrets, this boutique adults-only all-inclusive is set in the heart of Jamaica’s beloved destination of Negril, with a collection of 85 “treehouse” rooms and suites with amenities like a swim-up bar, a private beach bar and a beautifully manicured garden setting. In a sea of hotel and resorts in Negril, this is one of the best, exemplifying the bold but warm hospitality that makes Jamaican hospitality unique.
Sandals Royal Plantation, Jamaica Some have called this Ocho Rios resort the ultimate Sandals resort, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a boutique Sandals, with just 74 suites, all with ocean views, with everything from a champagne and caviar bar to free greens fees at the nearby Sandals Golf and Country Club. It’s set on a beautiful private beach, with five great culinary destinations and the unmatched feeling of having a Sandals all to yourself.
Serenity at Coconut Bay, Saint Lucia Saint Lucia’s newest all-inclusive is a stunner. Serenity is the adults-only, luxe enclave of the popular Coconut Bay resort at the southern tip of Saint Lucia, where the emphasis is on seclusion. But the stars of the show here are the suites, with a portfolio of 36 suites, all boasting private plunge pools, butler service and custom-stocked bars to boot.
The Pineapple Beach Club.
Pineapple Beach Club, Antigua All the ingredients of the classic beach resort are here: a spectacular 1,600-foot stretch of white sand; two large pools; 110 bright and airy rooms; a full-service spa and all the watersports you could ask for from windsurfing to sailing. Antigua has perfected the art of the all-inclusive, and Pineapple Beach Club is one of its best. Our suggestion? Go for one of the beachfront rooms, set directly adjacent to the sand.
