Our favourite tropical adult only hotels

19th March 2024

Is there anything more liberating for the stressed or busy soul than being castaway on a stunningly beautiful tropical island? These sprawling archipelagos with hundreds of jewel-like islands sprinkled over turquoise seas boast some of the best hotels on the planet, unparalleled opportunity for R&R and operate on island time to help us truly escape life’s everyday stresses.

We have picked some of our favourite adult only escapes; remote secluded havens – some on their own private islands – all with charming service, outstanding cuisine and the most velvety white sands and turquoise seas you wouldn’t even think possible. No filters needed.

This has to be Caribbean perfection: an intimate beachfront hotel nestled within nineteen acres of lush manicured gardens and minutes from Nelson’s Dockyard; with impeccable service.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

PETIT ST VINCENT PRIVATE ISLAND – THE GRENADINES

Just imagine staying on your very own 115 acre private island (also may we add – one of the most stunning in the Caribbean) in one of just 22 cottages scattered across. Privacy is paramount, serenity reigns supreme.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
Castaway chic, this is a place where you can go the entire day without seeing a soul.  You can spend quiet days here gently swinging in a hammock or with a picnic in hand exploring the secret coves.  It is all about disconnecting.
