Luxury Adult-Only Holidays

Now, don’t get us wrong, we love children and by no means would we want to see a return of the Dickensian age, where children were rarely seen and never heard…but there are times in our adult lives when we all need a break. Either from our own offspring or other people's. Let’s be honest, there is nothing quite so un-relaxing as being on holiday surrounded by children you don’t know… jumping in, and out, and in, and out, and in, and out… of the pool all day long.

Therefore, we feel that the appeal of a luxury adult-only holiday may have a strong magnetic pull, especially if you intend to travel during the dreaded ‘school holidays’. Each of these wonderfully relaxing and unique hotels and resorts are places of tranquillity and calm, where dinner is served at a sensible time and the food is designed purely for adult palettes. There is no dive bombing allowed and you’re not going to be woken at 6am, unless you want to be! We hope you’ll find this carefully curated selection of adult-only holidays very grown up indeed.
