Palm trees and loungers on a wooden deck by a beach at sunset. Dramatic clouds with orange and purple hues create a serene mood.

When it comes to luxury, sometimes the greatest indulgence is peace, privacy, and pampering tailored just for adults.

True relaxation lies in the details, and nothing sets the tone better than an exclusive adult-only retreat.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a wellness journey, 2026 offers some spectacular sanctuaries designed to recharge your mind, body, and soul.

Here are my top eight picks for adult-only resorts that promise rejuvenation wrapped in elegance, luxury, and serenity.

Amanyara, Turks and Caicos

Modern patio with wooden deck and seating overlooks ocean at sunset. Palm trees frame the scene, creating a tranquil, serene atmosphere.

Picture pristine white sands, turquoise waters, and sleek modern villas nestled within a nature reserve.

The name derives from 'aman,' the Sanskrit word for peace, and 'yara' the word for place in the language of the Arawak (or Taino) Indians, one of the Caribbean's indigenous peoples.

Amanyara is the epitome of understated luxury—private pools, world-class spa treatments, and wellness programs that revitalize, all far from the bustle of everyday life.

The low-lying rooflines, timber pavilions with private pools and glassy blue sea stretching out behind it: as luxurious as the resort may be, it never forgets its roots and is in constant harmony with its island environs.

Amanyara, "peaceful place" is nestled on the tip of a nature and wildlife reserve, with the widely-acclaimed reefs of the Northwest Point Marine Park just offshore.

Body Holiday, St. Lucia

Set on a secluded cove of white sand beach at the edge of the Caribbean Sea, surrounded by tropical gardens and rainforest, BodyHoliday is the ultimate getaway for body and mind.

Recognized as one of the finest destination resorts and centers of well-being, there couldn’t be a more idyllic corner of the world for your escape. But what makes this vacation truly idyllic is it’s designed by you.

Here you are encouraged to do as much or as little as you like. This all-inclusive luxury resort is dedicated to well-being, and there are any number of ways to soothe the senses and restore the spirit.

Based on a philosophy of relaxation, restorative beauty, exercise and diet, BodyHoliday offers every possibility.

The resort will personalize your vacation around the tenets of relaxation, restoration, exercise, and diet; they will design a program around your yoga practice (or lack of one), or your weight loss, fitness or health goal.

Or maybe you decide it is time to overcome limitations by, say, rappelling down a river gorge. You can do that here.

Set on a secluded, white-sand cove, BodyHoliday offers endless water sports, including sailing lessons.

Ayurvedic cuisine comes from the organic garden; a daily spa treatment is included.

IT's hard to find another resort with this many offerings PLUS a spa treatment DAILY.

This is not for sissies. Be as active or self-improving as you wish.

Le Sereno, St. Barthélemy

Woman in a dress walks by a pool lined with palm trees, under a clear blue sky, towards the beach. Relaxed, tropical vibe.

This chic, intimate hideaway offers beachfront villas with infinity pools and exquisite design.

Guests indulge in holistic spa rituals and savor gourmet Creole and French cuisine, all set against the backdrop of powder-soft beaches and vibrant sea life.

Catering year-round to sophisticated travelers craving luxury, comfort and privacy, the hotel features a swimming pool, a sundeck, a restaurant and a spa pavilion all of which overlook the water.

Arriving at the family-owned and family-run Le Sereno is like coming home to paradise.

Impression Isla Mujeres

If a wellness retreat isn't you primary goal, perhaps something more fun-in-the-sun?

Transfer to your hotel by private catamaran whisking you from Cancun to Isla Mujeres and Impression Isla Mujeres, an exclusive island retreat nestled above the turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean.

So begins your romantic escape at this all-inclusive, adults-only island retreat, where all 123 lavish suites feature sea-view balconies, personalized butler service, and tailored bars stocked with top-shelf spirits.

Go snorkeling and paddle-boarding along the world’s second-largest coral reef, plunge down the four-story waterslide, join a cooking or language class, and lounge by the rooftop infinity pool.

Seven distinct restaurants transport your palate around the globe. Better than cooking at home, yes?

Hermitage Bay

Cozy patio with a hanging chair and pool overlooking lush greenery and a calm sea. Soft clouds in a clear sky create a tranquil vibe.

Welcome to Hermitage Bay, a luxurious, all inclusive, laid-back resort set on 140 acres of lush tropical gardens overlooking the turquoise waters of Antigua's west coast.

The redesigned villa suites, each with expansive verandas and many with private pools, offer privacy and seamless indoor-outdoor living all designed to immerse you in the beauty of the Caribbean.

Discover the magic of the Caribbean in this secluded, soulful paradise, where exceptional hospitality and natural beauty combine for an unforgettable experience.

Enjoy water sports, private boat trips, guided farm tours, and rejuvenating treatments at the tranquil Garden Spa, all set against breathtaking ocean views.

Miraval Arizona Resort and Spa

Situated in the warm shade of the Santa Catalina Mountains in northern Tucson, AZ, on 400 acres of idyllic land, Miraval is a top-rated destination resort and spa dedicated to helping guests live life in the moment.

Since 1995 the property has been consistently ranked as one of the world’s top destination spas by Travel + Leisure, SpaFinder and Condé Nast Traveler.

Royal Davui Isalnd Resort, Fiji

Couple embraces on a serene beach at sunset, surrounded by lush palm trees. Sky is painted in soft pink and orange hues, evoking tranquility.

I met one of the owners of this resort a few years ago.

Royal Davui Island Resort is an exclusive adults-only sanctuary situated in Fiji's spectacular Beqa Lagoon.

Sixteen exquisitely appointed villas nestle around 10 acres of lush tropical landscape allowing for no more than 32 guests on the island at any one time, ensuring the ultimate in privacy, personal service and relaxation.

Royal Davui Island Resort is currently the only private island with private plunge pools for each and every villa. Stay a while, won't you?

Despite its petite size, the resort offers myriad island activities, such as snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and attending a traditional kava ceremony.

In the center of the Banyan Restaurant is a towering Pacific banyan tree, which shelters guests as they dine on fresh seafood and other Fijian delights. I love bog trees don't you?

Miraval Berkshires, Massachusetts

Miraval Berkshires is an inspired sanctuary situated on 380 acres of stunning New England landscape in Lenox, Massachusetts.

Guest rooms and suites are relaxing havens that evoke the glamour and charm of a New England country house.

From innovative health and wellness programming at Miraval’s Life in Balance Spa to a vast system of indoor pathways that ensure you never need to step outside or out of your spa robe, even during New England’s chilliest winters, Miraval Berkshires serves as a welcoming all-inclusive retreat where you can focus on your wellbeing and becoming the best version of you.

A warmer version of the Miraval family exists in Arizona, so you can take your pick!
