Adults Only summer retreats
The world can sometimes feel overwhelming, in your head, in group chats, at work, at home and everything in between. At times, all you really want is simple: a break from having to do anything at all, and the freedom to do only what you feel like doing. Preferably without inflatable flamingos, children playing loudly or an overenthusiastic entertainment team. Just peace and quiet.
Not because you do not enjoy children, but because true relaxation so often begins with silence.
An adults only hotel is therefore not about distancing yourself from families, but about creating space for calm. For a breakfast that lasts longer than five minutes. For a swimming pool without cannonball competitions. For a book you finally get past the first page of.
That is also why we do not feature loud all inclusive resorts where foam parties are still going at midnight. Think instead of a small boutique hotel in Mallorca, a five star retreat within driving distance, or a hidden gem deep in the Balinese jungle. Our selection of hotels is defined by tranquillity, where staff have a little more time for you and nobody is asking whether you would like to join aqua aerobics with the music turned up far too loud.
In this blog, we take you through the most beautiful adults only hotels. Places where peace is not an extra service, but the standard.
Fivelements Retreat - Bali
Fivelements Retreat Bali feels like stepping into a hidden corner of jungle where the outside world slowly fades away. Tucked between tropical trees, rice fields and the sacred Ayung River, this intimate retreat sits right in the lush heart of Bali. No busy beach resorts or trendy beach clubs here, but a place where nature, silence and spirituality come together in harmony.
That is exactly what makes it so special. You wake to the sound of flowing water and birdsong, practise yoga in an impressive bamboo dome, and dine surrounded by greenery beside the river. Everything here is about slowing down and reconnecting with yourself and nature. The personalised healing sessions, traditional Balinese therapies and plant-based cuisine make Fivelements far more than a wellness hotel. It is a rare sanctuary where Bali still feels pure and deeply serene.
Hacienda del Conde Meliá Collection Golf & Spa - Tenerife
Imagine waking up to views of the ocean and the Teno mountains, wandering through nature, unwinding in the extensive spa, or ending the day by the fire pit beneath a sky full of stars. No rush, just that gentle Canarian feeling of endless spring. Perfect for anyone in need of sunshine, silence and true relaxation.
Thanks to its mild climate, Hacienda del Conde feels like an escape that works all year round. In winter, it offers sunshine, calm and a welcome dose of vitamin D. In summer, the north west of Tenerife feels greener, quieter and far more comfortable than the hotter southern hotspots. Spend your days walking through the natural park, taking a dip in the pool or enjoying a massage in the spa, and your evenings with a glass of wine by the fire pit under a starry sky, no coat required.
Euphoria Retreat - Greece
Euphoria Retreat is not just a place to relax by the pool. It is a destination for those who want to change, deepen or restore something within themselves. What makes this adults only retreat so unique is its vast range of holistic programmes. From yoga, meditation and pilates to detox, stress recovery, emotional balance and intensive wellness journeys, everything here is designed for both physical and mental reset.
That is exactly why a stay here feels so personal. You choose how deeply you want to immerse yourself. One day might start with a guided hike, followed by sound healing and a massage in the Byzantine spa. Another might focus on a more intensive fitness programme and tailored nutrition advice. With daily activities and extensive wellness facilities, all you need to do is listen to what your body needs. Set among the Greek mountains and olive groves, Euphoria Retreat is a destination that stays with you long after you leave.
Es Racó d'Artà - Mallorca
Es Racó d’Artà is Mallorca at its most beautiful: no busy promenades or crowded beach clubs, but a hidden finca set in the untouched nature of the island’s north east. Behind ancient stone walls and surrounded by silence, it feels like a secret place known only to a few travellers.
This beautifully restored 13th century farmhouse is perfect for those looking for more than just sun and relaxation. It is a place to slow down, recharge and reconnect with yourself. With stylish, light filled rooms, a serene spa set in greenery, healthy meals from the garden and plenty of space for yoga, meditation or simply doing nothing at all.
Private Nature Luxury Resort Weissenhaus - Germany
Weissenhaus is one of those places you would hardly expect to find within driving distance from the Netherlands. A hidden gem on the German Baltic coast, surrounded by forests, meadows and a long private beach. No mass tourism, no crowded promenades, just space, stillness and fresh sea air.
That combination is exactly what makes Weissenhaus so special: no need to fly for a luxury wellness escape by the sea. Within a day you arrive at a historic estate where silence truly feels silent, the spa overlooks forest and coast, and fine dining evenings in its two Michelin starred restaurant flow effortlessly into long beach walks. Ideal for anyone wanting a proper break without travelling far.
