If you’d appreciate ocean breezes, beachfront dinners, fruity drinks, swaying palm trees and, drum roll please, no children allowed on your next romantic getaway, consider an adults-only resort on the Caribbean Sea.

Sure, there are loads of ways you might escape from daily life with your significant other – in an urban high-rise hotel, a remote bed-and-breakfast or a budget motel one town over. But if you’re looking for a vacation destination where you can truly unplug, reconnect, and enjoy time together just the two of you -- without being reminded of your own family back home, since there are no kids on the property – you might like to splurge on one of these tropical resorts that cater strictly to adults:

Couples Resorts: This Jamaica hotel brand is known for being especially all-inclusive, since the room rate covers not only food, drink and watersports, but also Wi-Fi internet access, airport transfers, and awesome off-property excursions, such as glass-bottom boat rides, catamaran cruises, horseback riding and golf. There are two Couples Resorts in Negril on the west side of the island, and two in Ocho Rios on the northern coast. Each boutique-style property has its own personality and specific offerings: three have au naturel sunbathing options, one does not; some have stocked mini-bars in the rooms, others don’t. All have a marvelous laid-back atmosphere (after all, you’re in Jamaica, mon) and a naturally beautiful setting.

El Dorado Spa Resorts & Hotels: The glorious Mexican coastline known as the Riviera Maya south of Cancun is where you’ll find this collection of three resorts (and one nudist “club”). Here, guests enjoy a “Gourmet Inclusive” experience, which features incredible meals with full a la carte service; swim-up suites, where you can step right out of your room and into a pool; beach waiters who deliver drinks while you lounge on beach beds; and in-room Jacuzzi tubs built for two. Spa connoisseurs should head to the El Dorado Royale: get a couple’s massage in the 20,000-square-foot spa or in a raised palapa on the beach, surrounded by nothing but ocean and air (and your loved one).

Club Med Turkoise: Club Med properties have a worldwide presence, but the Turks & Caicos resort is one of only a handful that is for adults only. Set on 70 pristine acres on the island of Providenciales, Club Med Turkoise attracts active couples with its myriad options for outdoor fun. Besides kayaking, windsurfing and sailing off shore, a catamaran snorkel trip takes guests to the best sites for spotting eels, rays and turtles in the aquamarine water. By land, there are opportunities for bocce ball, beach volleyball, basketball and the incredibly fun flying trapeze (yes, really). Of course, you can always blow off all the physical activity and just kick back on the talcum-soft, white-sand beach with an umbrella drink in hand. Nothing wrong with simply relaxing on your tropical vacation built for two!
