Adults Only Holidays

Adults only hotels are properties with a minimum age policy — usually 16 or 18 and above.

• They guarantee peace and relaxation without the noise typical of family resorts
• Perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway or solo travellers wanting a quieter stay
• Popular among 30+ travellers who appreciate higher service standards and a calmer atmosphere
• Pools, restaurants, and spa areas are less crowded than in standard family hotels
• Many adults only hotels offer more sophisticated menus, cocktail bars, and evening entertainment

The adults only hotel offer is extensive — from Europe to exotic long-haul destinations.

• Turkey: Antalya and Bodrum — among the widest selections of adults only hotels in Europe
• Greece: Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete — romantic clifftop and seafront hotels
• Spain: Majorca, Ibiza, and the Canary Islands — ideal for romantic breaks or pure relaxation
• Egypt: Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh — luxury all-inclusive resorts exclusively for adults
• Caribbean and Mexico: Cancún and Dominican Republic — premium adults only with beach bars and pools

Not always, but adults only hotels frequently offer better quality than standard properties.

• Fewer guests means a calmer atmosphere and more attentive service
• Restaurants tend to offer more refined menus — fewer buffets, more à la carte dining
• Spa zones and pools are less crowded, significantly improving the overall experience
• Many adults only hotels carry 4 or 5-star ratings with extensive premium facilities
• Always check recent reviews — not every adults only label guarantees luxury

Yes — the difference in comfort and atmosphere is usually very noticeable.

• No children means peace by the pool, in restaurants, and on the beach all day long
• More space and sun loungers available without needing to wake up at dawn
• Evening entertainment is tailored to adults — live music, wine tastings, and shows
• The romantic atmosphere is perfect for anniversaries, honeymoons, and birthdays
• Hotel staff can often arrange surprises and special touches for couples celebrating occasions

A few key details can significantly affect the quality of your stay — worth verifying in advance.

• Exact age policy: some hotels accept guests from 16, others strictly from 18
• Board type: all inclusive, half board, or breakfast only
• Hotel policy on stag and hen groups — some adults only hotels do not accept them
• Distance from the beach and resort centre — adults only hotels can sometimes be more secluded
• Recent reviews from couples — the best source of information about the real atmosphere

Adults only hotels are appealing year-round, but timing affects both price and atmosphere.

• May, June, and September: warm, quieter than school holidays, and lower prices
• July–August: peak season, warmest water, but higher prices and more guests
• Valentine's Day and long weekends: adults only hotels often offer special couples packages
• Canary Islands and Egypt: ideal for off-season breaks thanks to a mild year-round climate
• Booking 3–5 months in advance secures the best rooms and most competitive rates
