All inclusive vacations where being an adult pays off

Why these resorts get adulting right

Let's be honest, you’ve earned this. You've survived Monday meetings that could have been an email, grocery shopping and pretending to understand cryptocurrency. Now it's time for all inclusive adults only resorts that actually understand what grown-ups want: peace, restaurant dining with no reservation, fruity drinks that hit the hot spot, experiences designed just for them and zero chance of stepping on a discarded pool noodle.

Both resorts master the art of sophisticated relaxation. At Platinum Yucatan Princess, you'll find yourself with access to not just one, but three resorts – tripling your dining options, your pool-hopping potential and your chances of finding the secluded hammock that fits just right. The Dominican Republic's Punta Cana Princess keeps things equally impressive with its commitment to inclusivity, exchange privileges with two neighbouring properties – one which features a casino, if you’re feeling lucky – and attentive beachside butler service so you don’t have to lift a finger (unless when ordering the next round ✌️).

For couples who've figured out compromise

The best getaways for couples happen when you both agree that room service beats scrolling the food delivery apps. Platinum Yucatan Princess offers honeymoon suites with round beds (much more fun than those other beds) and swim-out pools for those appreciate a little privacy when going for a dip. Punta Cana Princess ups the romance game with beachfront dining and couple's spa treatments. Both locations understand that truly romantic vacations for couples are built on shared activities you can do together – like competitive margarita tasting or synchronized pool floating.

The pre-winter months are pure gold for lovebirds. September through November means fewer crowds, which translates to more intimate dinners and shorter lines at the swim-up bar. Plus, with less bodies on the beach and more ocean in the background, your followers will assume you rented out the entire resort.

Friends who vacation together, stay friends

Group trips can make or break friendships, but these resorts prove that adults only resorts aren't just for couples – they’re engineered to keep entire friend groups from descending into chaos. Platinum Yucatan Princess features six restaurants, because deciding where to eat with five friends is hard enough without limited options. Want to explore? Hit up Playa del Carmen for some cenote diving or Mayan ruins exploration – ideal for friends who like their culture served with a side of adventure. Punta Cana Princess offers similar friend-group perfection on Bavaro Beach. There’s nothing like strengthening bonds as you take a dance class together or learn a new language, seeing who’s short game is better at the mini-golf course or getting together for a Pilates session – but this one is in paradise!

Solo travellers who know their worth

Flying solo? These best Caribbean resorts for couples welcome singles who understand that "table for one" is a power move, not a consolation prize. Both resorts offer a great mix of optional energy – join a merengue class if you feel social, or claim a quiet cabana and finally finish that book you've been staring at for six months. Punta Cana Princess and Platinum Yucatan Princess excel at creating comfortable environments for independent travellers. Try your hand at Spanish lessons, shoot your shot at the casino ($) or take in the Caribbean sunset with an expertly-crafted mojito brought to you by the attentive butler service.
