Looking for a romantic getaway in Jamaica where the only “kids” you’ll encounter are the goats grazing on the roadside on the way to your hotel? You’re in luck, because Jamaica has a wide selection of adults-only properties, including those offered by the biggest names in the all-inclusive resort business, some intimate boutique hotels, and a few where you can literally let it all hang out without any concerns of having children see something they shouldn’t.
Couples looking for a different kind of adults-only all-inclusive experience in Jamaica should seek out The Caves, a boutique hotel with individually decorated rooms on the cliffs of Negril with an authentic local vibe and one of Jamaica’s best spas.
All six of Sandals Jamaican resorts — Sandals South Coast, Sandals Ochi, Sandals Negril, Sandals Royal Caribbean, Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Royal Plantation — are open only to guests ages 18 and older. And these all-inclusive resorts definitely lean into the romance factor, with two (Sandals South Coast and Sandals Royal Caribbean) offering the ultimate luxury and privacy of overwater accommodations and others offering couples-centric “Love Nest” suites, butler service, spa services, and romantic beach dinners among a wealth of amenities.
Marriott has made a high-profile push into all-inclusive, with a now broad portfolio of properties across the Caribbean, including the terrific adults-only Hideaway at Royalton Negril. There are 140 rooms, all of which are suites, along with amenities like the Royal Spa and 11 different dining concepts.
Part of the AM Resorts group, the Secrets St. James and Secrets Wild Orchid occupy a peninsula poking into Montego Bay, providing some coveted privacy in one of Jamaica’s more developed tourist districts. Resort highlights include a 15,000-square-foot Pevonia spa, a wide variety of dining choices, and — if you stay in the Preferred Club — access to the amenities at the nearby Breathless Montego Bay Resort & Spa, too.
Jewel Paradise Cove Resort & Spa
This Runaway Bay all-inclusive caters to adult travelers with a beautiful beachfront location, seven restaurants, all-suite accommodations, a spa offering in-water treatments, and a PADI certified dive center.
Another resort set on a quiet Montego Bay peninsula, the Excellence Oyster Bay boasts five-star accommodations, dining, and a spa, highlighted by a collection of beach villas with private pools, butler service, and daily in-room happy hour cocktails.
Marriott and au natural resort aren’t usually mentioned in the same sentence, but the Grand Lido Negril is part of Marriott’s all-inclusive portfolio and does indeed invite adults to experience a completely clothing optional resort experience in an oceanfront boutique resort setting.
Adult couples who dream of hiding away in a tropical treehouse will love this boutique hotel in Negril, which has elevated accommodations tucked away in a lush tropical garden, all-inclusive dining, and a beach club just across the street. Dining, drinks, and water sports are included in the room rates — treatments at the Ginger Lily spa are extra.
The Breathless resort also is part of the AMR group, adults-only, and all-inclusive, but aims for a younger, party-oriented crowd. If you want to be close to the rooftop bar, nightlife, and lively poolside action, pick Breathless. If you want a quieter environment, you can stay over at Secrets and just stroll across the sky bridge for an occasional taste of the club scene.
‘If you go, you’ll know’ is what the many repeat guests at the world’s most famous clothing optional resort say. Attracting a mix of nudists, swingers, and other ‘lifestyle’ travelers along with the curious and open-minded, Hedo isn’t everyone’s jam. But for those it’s fit, this Negril resort is the closest thing to “home.”
Rooms surround the attractive pool area right off the beach at this adults-only resort in Rose Hall, close to Montego Bay. Settle into a palapa-shaded beach chair poolside or in the sand and enjoy all-inclusive five-star dining and drinks, with butler service and spa treatments delivered right in your room.
Set on the grounds of the historic Rose Hall Great House, this luxury, adults-only resort has swim-up rooms, butler service, and is a golf-lover’s dream with play on the championship White Witch and Cinnamon Hill courses.
The name is kind of a tell: the Couples Sans Souci, Couples Tower Isle, Couples Swept Away, and Couples Negril resorts welcome paired adults only to experience all-inclusive accommodations, dining, drinks, and activities. Each hotel boasts unique features: the five-star Sans Souci has a mineral grotto and springs, Tower Isle has spa suites with unlimited treatments, Swept Away is known for its 10-acre sports and fitness complex, and Couples Negril sits directly on one of Jamaica’s most beautiful beaches. Plus, all four resorts have clothing-optional beaches and pools.
