These 16 Adults-Only Resorts Are Made for Summer Vacations in the Caribbean
There comes a point in every vacation when you realize how much quieter everything feels. The soundtrack is the breeze instead of a splash park. Breakfast lingers over another cup of coffee. The pool is built for floating instead of cannonballs. Summer has a way of bringing out the best in an adults-only Caribbean escape.
Across the region, hotels have been expanding their grown-up offerings, from sprawling all-inclusive resorts where every meal, cocktail and activity is already part of your stay to intimate boutique hotels where your biggest decision is which beach to discover next.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, celebrating a milestone or simply looking for a few uninterrupted days in the Caribbean sun, these are the adults-only resorts worth putting on your list this summer.
Lopesan Serenity Bay, Punta Cana
Sometimes you want the energy of a large Caribbean resort. Sometimes you simply want a quieter place to come back to at the end of the day. This one gives you both, and it just opened its doors.
This new adults-only enclave has 239 rooms, exclusive restaurants, tranquil pool areas and dedicated spaces designed entirely for adults, while still giving you access to the restaurants, entertainment, bars and nightlife throughout the larger Lopesan Costa Bávaro complex, one of the most complete all-inclusive resorts we’ve ever stayed in.
It’s a combination that works particularly well if you’re traveling as a couple but still enjoy having plenty of options throughout your stay.
