Planning a vacation a la carte sounds great in theory—and it can be a great way to customize a vacation. But it takes time. When planning a romantic getaway, some couples want help ensuring they meet the moment with all the trimmings. The top adults-only all-inclusive resorts around the world provide those trimmings and then some.
In addition to food and beverage credits and the coziest of beds, these resorts have extra perks for couples, like bubbly at arrival, chocolate goodies and spas with ample menus of their own. It makes them ideal for honeymooners or couples celebrating an anniversary or simply needing a chance to relax and reconnect.
Perhaps the best perk? The serene ambiance provided by age minimums. Sometimes adults simply want to enjoy a pool, a swim-up bar and five-star dining experiences without those (usually) adorable giggles from kids. Once you've decided on an all-inclusive, adults-only experience, the only question is: Where is the tide taking you? Are you headed for a white-sand getaway at one of the many all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean? Or, is a fuss-free, globe-trotting escape to Africa on your radar? Couples can also find all-inclusive resorts in the US. To help you decide, we compiled a list of the top all-inclusive resorts for adults in the world based on customer reviews.
