fun trips for adults

21 relaxing adults-only, all-inclusive resorts for a kid-free vacation

Over the last decade, the all-inclusive concept has been embraced and reimagined by some of the world's most luxurious and character-rich hotels.

Travelers who would previously flinch at the notion of a prescribed, one-size-fits-all formula exemplified by big gated compounds in destinations like the Dominican Republic are discovering just how liberating and discerning the adults-only all-inclusive model can be.

When everything from gourmet food and fine wine to bespoke amenities and expert-led wellness pursuits are included (and nicely tallied up ahead of time), it avoids that rather irritating nickel-and-diming that can take the shine off your dream holiday.

Whether you want to take a deep dive into wellness in Arizona , head to a chic mountain lodge in the wilds of Montana or retreat to your own private Caribbean island hideaway , there are some incredible all-inclusive options out there — and many where you can save thousands of dollars by redeeming points.

How to choose an adults-only, all-inclusive resort

Choosing the best adults-only, all-inclusive resort will depend on the type of trip you are looking for and the amenities that you value.

Honeymooners will likely have visions of a romantic overwater bungalow in the Caribbean , adventure-seekers may dream of an African luxury safari or ecolodge in South America, and budget travelers are often just hankering for a quick, accessible beach getaway on a picturesque stretch of coastline.

Of course, the vibe and guest registry at an adults-only, all-inclusive Sandals in Jamaica will be very different from those of a sustainably minded, boutique property in Costa Rica . But no matter the destination, at an adults-only resort, you can expect the emphasis to be placed on relaxation, with more grown-up activities and entertainment on offer day and night.

Instead of playgrounds, game rooms and raucous family pools, every area of the resort is designed with adults in mind, meaning that amenities, culinary concepts and daily programming align with the needs and desires of couples looking to unplug and enjoy time together in a more serene environment.

Adults-only hotels can also have very different age requirements; at some resorts the minimum age is 15, but at others, it's 18. In the case of safari lodges , the property may accept teens older than 12 (who pay the pricey adult rate).

Before you book, always check exactly what is included in the all-inclusive rate; sometimes top-shelf liquor is included, as well as activities such as motorized watersports (and even PADI certifications). At other hotels, "all-inclusive" may just mean three daily a la carte meals, and you pay extra for everything else, including alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.

Here are 21 of TPG's favorite adults-only, all-inclusive resorts.

Steeped in history, Twin Farms was originally conceived by Nobel Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis, who bought the farm for $10,000 in 1928 as a gift for his soon-to-be wife Dorothy Thompson (who asked for a Vermont farmhouse as her condition for marriage).

Today, this much-lauded all-inclusive Relais & Chateaux property in Barnard, Vermont — a small town 30 minutes from Burlington — comprises a supremely elegant collection of 28 accommodations, including freestanding cottages and log cabins constructed from cedar, hand-hewn hickory, stone and glass, which dot a bucolic 300-acre estate that has preserved the original farmhouse (which dates to 1795).

Eminent interior designer Jed Johnson designed the original 15 individually styled accommodations. Striking and inviting in equal measure, these spaces — plus more added later — are a design-lover's dream, with plush sofas, fireplaces, large freestanding tubs and walls graced with a superb collection of paintings, including masterworks by David Hockney and Jasper Johns, among other art world luminaries.

In the warmer months, room rates cover activities like tennis, fly-fishing, archery, kayaking, paddleboarding, nature walks and picnics in the woods. When it's cold outside, you can venture out skiing or snowshoeing on the private mountain before returning home to luxuriate in a wooden Japanese ofuro bath and cozy up fireside with steaming mugs of hot chocolate.

Regardless of what time of year you visit, you'll indulge in gourmet, farm-to-table fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect nights filled with canapes and Champagne, as well as dishes that showcase ingredients sourced from the property's gardens, trees and beehives.

All-inclusive rates at Twin Farms start at $2,550 per night, based on double occupancy. Keep in mind that "adults-only" here means children who are at least 14 years old are welcome.

Just 22 miles northwest of downtown Austin in Texas' gorgeous Hill Country, this tastefully refined spa resort offers the best of both city and nature vacations. Overlooking Lake Austin, it caters to active types and spa devotees looking to foster a healthier and more rejuvenated self.

Each of Lake Austin Spa Resort's 40 cottage-style rooms offers classic luxury without being fussy. There are stately leather beds dressed with down comforters, porches furnished with wicker chairs and a soothing color palette of pale blue, beige and white accented with quaint floral and checkered fabrics.

If you feel like splashing out, the plush Lady Bird Johnson Suite — named for the former first lady, who was a guest here — features a separate living room and dining area decorated with antiques and original artworks, as well as two fireplaces. It also has a large private outdoor terrace and a whimsical garden with a built-in hot tub and fire pit.

Guests are treated to three gourmet meals a day from acclaimed French chef Stéphane Beaucamp. Beaucamp's "nurturing table" ethos is based on healthy cuisine that marries fresh seasonal fare with inventive flavors and balanced nutrition. Like it or not, all of the menus itemize the calories and nutritional content in each dish.

The almighty splurge here happens once you don that plush white robe and sashay over to the spa. The facility is renowned for its pricey Swiss-inspired facials and treatments, which incorporate anti-aging products by Valmont.

Should you wish to stick to activities that don't cost extra, check out the daily events calendar , which is jam-packed with fitness classes, hikes, cooking demonstrations and boat cruises, as well as talks and lectures centered on mind-body connection and spiritual healing themes.

In the very heart of bustling Playa del Carmen, the Hilton Playa del Carmen is ideal for travelers seeking proximity to all this Mexican destination has to offer. While it's too rocky to swim right in front of the resort, which overlooks a pier, you can head about 100 yards in either direction to enjoy the key commodities of any Riviera Maya vacation — sugar-fine white sand, turquoise waters and tequila-laced cocktails.

The hacienda-style design (think: massive white stone pillars and faux wrought-iron balconies) recalls the Hilton's previous incarnation as The Royal. Low-rise, whitewashed buildings are clustered around the two main pools (one with a lap lane, the other with a swim-up bar), which form the hub of the daytime action. If you want to retreat to your own plush white-cushioned cabana, that will cost extra.

During the day, activities such as water aerobics, Zumba, salsa dance classes and pool volleyball take place at the larger pool. You can also keep your fitness routine going at the gym, which has a cardio room with all the essential equipment. Should you wish to pamper yourself while on vacation, visit the Innan Spa, which offers a range of massages and treatments, as well as Mayan-inspired rituals.

All of the 524 sleek, contemporary suites feel spacious and bright, with high beamed ceilings and a neutral color palette with occasional pops of blue and gold. Noteworthy features include bedside tablets that act as information portals and "Magic Boxes" for room service orders to ensure privacy. Efficiently designed bathrooms have double vanities and walk-in marble showers.

The seven restaurants satisfy most culinary cravings (and if the resort can't, Playa del Carmen certainly will). The fancier, upscale restaurants require reservations and attract a well-dressed crowd on their way out for a night on the town or settling in for a show, live music or themed party at the resort. Culinary highlights include the Caribbean fusion cuisine served at the beachside Pelicanos, the sushi and poke available at Asiana and the nouvelle Mexican specialties at Maria Petrona.

Surrounded by towering mountains, The Green O is the adults-only sister property of the acclaimed Resort at Paws Up. This architectural showstopper is a romantic haven for couples seeking a wilderness escape with a surfeit of outdoor adventures right on their doorstep.

Less than a 45-minute drive from Missoula Montana Airport (MSO), The Green O is home to 12 beautifully appointed, hygge-style accommodations that are scattered through northwestern Montana 's primordial forests.

Each is a luxurious, supremely comfortable riff on a traditional Western cabin and embraces an inside-outside flow, with light wood floors and ceilings, glass-walled living spaces with cozy fireplaces, white walls decorated with paintings, cushy sofas and armchairs, canopy beds and large furnished decks with hot tubs and swing chairs.

Guests have access to the (mostly included) excursions and activities available at The Resort at Paws Up, but the main draw of staying here is the horseback riding. Paws Up's stables are the largest in the state, and everyone from city slickers to seasoned equestrians can join all-day trail rides, team penning, arena lessons and cattle drives. Shooting, fly-fishing, hiking and fat biking are warm-weather options as well, while those visiting in winter can try snowsports galore, including skiing, snowshoeing, dogsledding and cross-country skiing. Indulgent spa treatments and massages take place in swanky tents.

Gourmet meals, which nightly rates cover, are served in the Social Haus. Menus showcase open-flame grilled meats raised on the ranch, as well as locally grown vegetables and fruits.

Located on the pristine white sands of Malolo Island, surrounded by a sanctuary that supports flamboyant marine life, Likuliku Lagoon Resort is the quintessential South Pacific island paradise.

The design ensures that you can revel in those castaway dreamscapes from pretty much any vantage point, whether it's your furnished outdoor pavilion, the perfectly positioned deep-soaking bathtub or your plush daybed. Thoughtful, complimentary amenities include a pillow menu, binoculars, a complimentary sarong and a canape plate and freshly baked cookies delivered to your room daily.

At the center of the resort, the infinity-edge outdoor pool is surrounded by plush loungers, and the heavenly spa incorporates Pure Fiji products in its extensive lineup of treatments, massages and therapies.

Sightings of dugongs and humpback whales are also not uncommon.

The intimate Fijiana restaurant serves fresh gourmet cuisine that showcases regional ingredients, sustainable local seafood and traditional cooking techniques. Signature dishes include a local masala curry and a roasted snapper with chorizo, peas and black olive. All meals are included in the daily rate, but note that both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks cost extra.

When it comes to romantic vacations, Sandals has written a pretty good playbook. However, its newest Bahamas property may just be one of the brand's best for couples.

With 10 fine dining restaurants to choose from, including a classic French bistro, a Mediterranean chophouse and a southern Italian trattoria with a wood-fire pizza oven, you can rest assured there'll never be any culinary fatigue.

Europe may not be the obvious choice when it comes to choosing your next all-inclusive resort. It's also hardly a budget option in terms of places to stay, dine and play. However, the continent has a number of accommodation options that offer it all — and one of the best is on the Greek island of Rhodes.

In Kiotari, some 37 miles away from Rhodes Airport (RHO), Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa is a popular choice among European sun-seekers thanks to its exceptional amenities, high-quality dining and prime location close to some of Rhodes' most beautiful beaches, atmospheric seafood tavernas, unspoiled mountain villages and one of Europe's best-preserved medieval towns.

Housed in clusters of low-rise, whitewashed buildings, the 250 rooms and suites are fresh and bright, with polished tile floors and simple wooden, rattan and wicker furnishings.

Resort amenities include a luxurious spa, a sauna, two beautiful swimming pools surrounded by loungers and a small, private beach area. While the all-inclusive package doesn't cover spa treatments, you can use its facilities, plus the pools and beach, and partake in all kinds of activities, including aerobics, tennis, cooking classes, themed dinners and snorkeling.

Room rates also cover all meals and drinks at the main buffet restaurant in addition to dinner at any of the three a la carte eateries, which specialize in Greek, Italian and Asian fare.

Just south of Puerto Vallarta, this contemporary 271-suite resort faces a wide, sandy beach at the southern end of the Hotel Zone and is less than two miles north of Puerto Vallarta's historic center and zócalo (main square), which is dotted with restaurants, clubs and galleries.

Puerto Vallarta is known for its sizzling nightlife and cosmopolitan, LGBTQIA-friendly atmosphere, and this Secrets outpost shares that inclusive outlook. Sultry chambers trade the customary neutral palette of Secrets' other outposts for vibrant shades of purple and red, luxe velvet daybeds, marble floors, gold woven headboards and deep soaking tubs primed for rose petals. Glass-walled balconies allow for spectacular ocean views from any vantage point, and swim-up rooms (some of which are club-level accommodations with access to a lounge) add that extra dose of exclusivity and privacy.

Beyond the large, sun-drenched swimming pools surrounded by swaying palms and the inviting, swimmable beachfront of Banderas Bay (which is much calmer than the open Pacific), there's around-the-clock entertainment. Competitive types can play soccer, try their hand at archery or join a pick-up volleyball game. Wellness enthusiasts can hit the spa or fitness center (charges apply for spa treatments), and snorkelers and divers can sign up for a fee-based excursion to the Marietas Islands, which are known for their incredible biodiversity.

At night, there are themed party nights, movies on the beach and live events and shows in the open-air theater.

There are five eateries as well, including Market Cafe (an international buffet), Oceana (featuring fresh seafood by the beach) and Bordeaux (where classic French cuisine is served in an atmospheric wine cellar under glittering chandeliers and frescos). Additional restaurants are available at the resort's adjacent sister property, Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa.

All-inclusive rates at Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta start at $220 per person, per night or 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night, based on double occupancy.

Tucked amid towering coastal redwoods, the intimate, 59-room Alila Ventana Big Sur exudes rustic-chic charm. Just off the Pacific Coast Highway less than three hours south of San Francisco, this Hyatt outpost is widely considered the brand's finest property in North America.

All rooms and suites showcase outdoorsy details, such as wood paneling, black-and-white nature prints, leather armchairs and wood- and stone-clad bathrooms. The impeccable style is maintained across the public spaces, where terraces with outdoor fireplaces and granite floors are arranged with cozy outdoor sofas and chairs for alfresco lounging.

Throughout the expansive property, there are plenty of areas for relaxing and taking in Big Sur's signature coastal views. There are two beautifully landscaped, heated pools surrounded by loungers and manicured lawns: the infinity-edge Meadow Pool and the clothing-optional Mountain Pool.

Additionally, guests have access to a small fitness center, Japanese hot baths and a spa with outdoor cabanas nestled among redwoods. The surrounding area is also crisscrossed by hiking trails like the 8-mile Andrew Molera Loop, which sits just steps from the resort.

Alila Ventana Big Sur emerged from the pandemic with an all-inclusive model, offering guests modern American fare that skews wholesome (incorporating organic produce grown in the on-site garden) as part of their nightly rate. Expert delectable dishes such as hand-harvested scallops with parsnip and apple and Fogline Farms chicken with gnocchi.

All-inclusive rates at Alila Ventana Big Sur start at $1,300 or 35,000 World of Hyatt points per night, based on double occupancy.

Less than an hour from Cancun International Airport (CUN), the all-suite Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun is a world apart from Cancun's rowdy spring break image. Set on one of the Riviera Maya's most picturesque swathes of white sand, it's a haven for water sports lovers — the snorkeling at nearby Puerto Morelos is the best along this part of the coast.

Surrounded by lush foliage, the 412 suites measure at least 624 square feet and are richly appointed with polished dark wood, rattan and wicker furnishings, plus spacious marble-clad bathrooms and artfully scattered cushions and linens that add bold pops of color to an otherwise muted palette. Wooden shutters open to furnished balconies or terraces with either tropical or ocean views, and for that extra dose of romance and air of exclusivity, swim-up suites are also available.

For meals, there are six a la carte restaurants (including Bordeaux for classic French bistro fare, Oceana for creative seafood and El Patio for cantina-style Mexican cuisine), as well as a more casual buffet venue, a grill and a cafe. If you upgrade to a club-level suite, you'll also have access to an exclusive beach club, along with other perks like premium liquors and personalized concierge service.

The all-inclusive rates cover a number of facilities and activities, too. In addition to cooling off in the two large swimming pools (one of which is an infinity pool), you can attend "wine and paint" sessions and taco-making classes, participate in fitness classes like beach yoga, play tennis and go on daily excursions, such as sunrise kayak tours around the bay.

Like other Secrets properties, Secrets Maroma Beach also has an outpost of the brand's signature Spa by Pevonia. Here, guests can enjoy fee-based treatments like indoor-outdoor couples massages, facials and salon services when they're not using the hydrotherapy circuit or sauna.

All-inclusive rates at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun start at $620 or 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night, based on double occupancy.

Every item on this page was chosen by a Town & Country editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

Stowe, Vermont

Stowe may be a popular ski destination, but it's equally appealing in the fall with its abundance of outdoor pursuits. And, obviously, the foliage alone is reason enough to visit. The 68-room Topnotch Resort sits on an expansive 120 acres with views of Mount Mansfield. Hotel activities include horseback riding, ATV tours, biking, wagon rides, and, for something a little more relaxing, a lovely spa.

Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

Want to escape to a quaint New England seaside village? Look no further than Martha's Vineyard, with its miles of beaches and historic houses. Stay in Edgartown, a former whaling port, and you'll have access to shops, galleries, and restaurants galore. The Christopher is a chic boutique hotel with just 15 rooms that mix modern design with a classic New England aesthetic. For a seamless—and fast (read: no traffic)—trip from the New York area, book a flight on Tradewind Aviation.

Telluride, Colorado

It is a bit of a trek to get to this Colorado hideaway, but so worth it for its unlimited supply of fresh mountain air. The Madeline Hotel & Residences, an Auberge Resort , is surrounded on three sides by the majestic San Juan Mountains. Horseback ride through Colorado's backcountry, go fly fishing, cycle the mountains, or simply let the hotel set up a picnic feast for you in the middle of a scenic alpine meadow. However you choose to spend your days, you're guaranteed to return home refreshed.

Washington, Connecticut

A quick two-hour drive from New York City, Washington, Connecticut has long been a retreat for a very discerning, moneyed crowd, because of its rolling hills, historic architecture, and proximity to the city. Soak that all in at the grand Mayflower Inn & Spa, an Auberge Resort , set on 58 acres of manicured gardens and woodland. There's plenty to do, including hiking, fly-fishing, archery, tennis, and croquet. In 2021, for its 100th anniversary, the hotel was refreshed by celebrated designer Celerie Kemble.

Whitefish, Montana

For a more adventurous weekend getaway, the mountain town of Whitefish, Montana offers four seasons of activities—from skiing Whitefish Mountain to hiking through Glacier National Park. Book a stay at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake , a classic mountain lodge that offers suites in the main building as well as standalone luxury homes on the property.

Malibu, California

This 27-mile stretch of sparkling ocean and beach is the epitome of barefoot luxury, which is why so many Hollywood A-listers own homes here. Hotels are pretty scarce, all the more lending to Malibu's locals-only vibe. Stay at the 47-room Malibu Beach Inn , located right on the water on a strip of coastline nicknamed Billionaire's Beach for all of its famous homeowners, like Larry Ellison, who owns 10 properties. For a real splurge, book a room at the intimate 16-room Nobu Ryokan , an oasis like no other that marries serene Japanese minimalism with the iconic California coast.

Annapolis, Maryland

Just 45 minutes outside of Washington, D.C., Annapolis feels a world apart. Yes, it's home to the United States Naval Academy, but it's far more than a college town. Embrace its nautical legacy with a visit to the Annapolis Maritime Museum, followed by an afternoon out on the water. And then enjoy Maryland's famous crabs for dinner before retiring to 134 Prince , a luxury inn in a Dutch Colonial home.

For East Coasters, Bermuda makes for a perfect weekend getaway. It's just a two-hour flight from NYC and Washington, D.C., meaning it basically takes less time to get there than it does to drive out to the Hamptons. Once you're on the island, head to The Loren at Pink Beach if you're in the mood for a little solitude. The property's one- and three-bedroom villas have their own private pools, making them prime spots for lounging and sipping on Bermuda's famed rum swizzles.

The North Fork, New York

The South Fork of Long Island (aka the Hamptons and Montauk) may be buzzier, but for a more low-key, quiet, and down-to-earth alternative, head to the North Fork. Oysters at Little Creek Oyster Farm in Greenport are a must, as are the homemade pies at Briermere Farms in Riverhead. Then spend your afternoons visiting the area's many wineries, such as Bedell, Sparkling Pointe, and Kontokosta before retiring to the Sound View Greenport , a chic hotel where every room looks out onto the Long Island Sound and has direct access to the private beach.

Asheville, North Carolina

Drive the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway on your way to Asheville—the fall foliage is particularly spectacular, though the views are majestic no matter the season. There, you'll want to spend plenty of time at the impressive Biltmore Estate, the largest private home in the country, built by George Vanderbilt at the end of the 19th century. While you can't stay in the home itself, you can stay on the property at the Inn on Biltmore Estate , which grants you access to the Biltmore gardens, Antler Hill Village, and the Biltmore Winery.

Asbury Park, New Jersey

When the Asbury Hotel opened in 2016, it promised to bring about a much classier era to the oft-maligned Jersey Shore—and, in particular, the city of Asbury Park.

Aside from the beach, which is a block away, the Asbury has plenty of al fresco spaces fit for play, including an expansive rooftop space that screens outdoor movies.

Texas Hill Country

Easily accessible from both Austin and San Antonio, Texas Hill Country is filled with quaint towns, wineries, and, in the spring, fields of blossoming bluebonnets.

(As of September 2022, the spa is closed for renovations, but will reopen in late 2022 or early 2023.)

Cape May, New Jersey

Cape May is perhaps the most charming of all of New Jersey's beach towns, thanks to the colorful Victorian-era houses that line its streets.

9 Best Vacation Destinations for Seniors

Whether you're looking for a relaxing retreat or an active getaway, I have a resort for you.

You're retired — and vaccinated — and it's time to treat yourself to a well-deserved and probably long-awaited vacation. With no time constraints, you can plan a stay of a few weeks, and you might appreciate the convenience of a destination resort that lets you arrive, unpack, and enjoy dining and most activities on site.

Like many retirees, you're game to try something novel or pick up a new hobby, and you want to continue (or start) focusing on your well-being and health. The right mix of relaxation and activities, opportunities for time outdoors, pampering, and fun should complete the picture. A place designed for adults might be ideal, and perhaps a (short) visit and some entertainment for the grandkids and family would work well, especially if your get-togethers have been limited over the past year.

We've searched for a few places based on these amenities, and we have suggestions for you here. We hope at least one will spark your vacation imagination and get your planning started.

Suncadia Resort: Cle Elum, Washington

Set in Washington's Cascade Mountains and the Wenatchee Washington National Forest, this picturesque resort offers rich scenery, crisp mountain air, and a variety of outdoor activities. Choose The Lodge for panoramic river and mountain views or The Inn, an elegant lodge with golf course views.

Play golf, try your hand at archery, or grab an axe and heave it at the target. (Yes, axe throwing is a popular new activity!) Hike or stroll along deer and elk trails, rent a bike, canoe, or kayak, or find your inner artist with a resort-provided acrylic painting kit or a tie-dye lesson. Begin the day with guided meditation or a full-body outdoor workout class. Fit in a spa treatment for some pampering. Should the grandkids arrive for a visit, there's a pool, stuffed bear factory, and plenty of ways to play at Suncadia.

Big Cedar Lodge: Ridgedale, Missouri

This wilderness resort in Missouri's Ozark Mountains is set on 4,600 acres of natural beauty. A wide variety of accommodations lets you choose the perfect place to stay, whether you decide on one of the three grand lodges, a cozy private log cabin, luxurious cottage, or a glamping unit at Camp Long Creek.

Five golf courses and practice facilities include the new Payne's Valley course, driving range, full-swing simulator, and the Tom Watson putting course. Sharpen your aim at the Bass Pro Shops Shooting Academy with sporting clays, American Skeet, and more. Hike, bike, take a scenic nature walk, or journey to Top of the Rock Lost Canyon on an electric cart for waterfalls and lake views. Fitness classes, exercise equipment, and a personal trainer are available. If the grandkids visit, they'll love the Kids Adventure Club and Nature Discovery Center.

Lone Mountain Ranch: Big Sky, Montana

Just 18 miles from Yellowstone National Park, the ranch is set in the Montana Rockies about 40 minutes from Bozeman Airport. Stay in one of 27 historic log cabins, ranging from one to six bedrooms, each individually named and offering wood stoves, cozy rustic furnishings, full baths, forested settings, and stunning views.

In true ranch style, there's horseback riding, with backcountry trails and experienced wranglers to ensure a memorable experience for riders of all levels and ages as well as naturalist guided hikes, mountain biking, and fly fishing, for first-timers or seasoned anglers. Paddle a canoe or kayak or spend a day floating down the Madison River in a tube. Take an excursion to Yellowstone National Park, curated by an experienced guide. Start your day with an outdoor yoga class, and then have some fun with archery or axe throwing. Adventure programs for youth are available as well.

Mission Point: Mackinac Island, Michigan

This waterfront resort boasts the longest lakeshore on the island, and guests can stay in the Main Lodge or the more secluded Straits Lodge with dog-friendly rooms. Guest rooms and suites in both lodges feature comfortable furnishings, and the Bois Blanc Suite offers 1,500 square feet, full kitchen, and laundry facilities — ideal for longer stays.

Relax on the expansive lawn in an Adirondack chair, stroll downtown for shopping (Don't miss the famous Mackinac Island fudge), play golf, swim in the pool, or soak in a hot tub to your heart's content. Treat yourself to an afternoon at the Lakeside Spa and Salon. The vintage feel of the island, a National Historic Landmark, is enhanced by its ban on motor vehicles as well as its historic architecture and relaxed pace. Take a horse-drawn carriage ride to learn about the island, and you'll be transported to another era.

Montage Palmetto Bluff: Bluffton, South Carolina

Guest rooms, suites, cottages, and residences are available in the 20,000-acre community that encompasses a nature preserve, two picturesque villages, a riverfront marina, and Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, making it easy to choose accommodations for your visit. In fact, should you fall in love with the Lowcountry lifestyle, moss-draped oaks, and natural beauty, you might make a permanent home there as many visitors have over the years.

Play golf at the May River Golf Club, kayak, canoe, or take a boat tour and spot dolphins cruising along with you. Sporting clay stations wind through a 40-acre forest for shooting practice and games. Tennis, bocce ball, and pickleball courts are offered for both play and instruction, if you want to improve your skills. Stroll or take a leisurely bike ride among tree-lined paths. When the family comes to visit, the youngsters will enjoy Paintbox for games, crafts, movies, scavenger hunts, nature walks, and outdoor activities, and they'll thrill to the treehouses as they climb to the observation deck.

Cavallo Point: Sausalito, California

Located at the foot of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge and set among 75,000 acres in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Cavallo Point offers stunning scenery, world class dining, and a variety of experiences. Historical architecture blends with contemporary design, giving guests the choice of historic or contemporary-style rooms, many boasting views of San Francisco Bay, in a serene setting just minutes from the city.

Hike, bike, run, or walk during the day, and spend the evening around an outdoor fire pit. Take a guided hike, yoga class, sunset cruise, or an exciting Seaplane or Helicopter tour. At the Healing Arts Center & Spa, guests can choose from a variety of wellness experiences. Cooking classes and demonstrations are offered, and the Cavallo Point Oyster Experience features chef Tony Adams shucking and grilling fresh oysters to be served with expertly paired wine and cocktails. Camp Cavallo for Kids keeps them busy with nature hikes, art, games, and historic exploration.

Arizona Biltmore: Phoenix, Arizona

If classic luxury is the vacation style you're after, the newly renovated Arizona Biltmore , a Waldorf Astoria Resort, should be high on your list. Built in 1929, the 39-acre estate at the base of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve is reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour with 701 accommodations (including 36 suites, 28 cottages, 54 villas) and Frank Lloyd Wright-influenced design.

Closed for more than a year for major renovations, the resort reopened in May 2021 with new restaurants, a day spa, and seven pools including an adults-only pool and family pool with a 65-foot water slide. Play golf, tennis, or pickleball or take advantage of concierge arrangements for hot air balloon rides, stargazing, biking, hiking, and more. At Tierra Luna Spa, select from a range of curated therapies or join a yoga or aqua aerobics class. Be sure to order a Tequila Sunrise at the Wright Bar where the cocktail was invented.

Bungalows Key Largo: Key Largo, Florida

This all-inclusive, adults-only resort is a tropical oasis where you can choose from a variety of activities or just relax in a poolside cabana. Stay in a waterfront bungalow or one set among the lush gardens with a soaking tub and outdoor shower.

Water sports include kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and swimming in the protected bay where you might see manatees and dolphins glide by. Don your snorkel gear to float among colorful native fish. Join a beachfront yoga class or do your own workout at the full-service Fitness Tiki Hut and then head to the Zen Garden Spa's steam room, sauna, or outdoor treatment cabana for a soothing massage. Find your spot at the Sunset Pool, and sip frozen drinks while you work on your tan. Watch the sun go down on a catamaran cruise with a cocktail in hand.

Rancho Bernardo Inn: San Diego, California

Guest rooms, suites, and specially designed accessible rooms are set among lush gardens for a secluded feel. Private patios and balconies offer garden, spa, or golf course views. The resort 's 250 acres and San Diego's perfect weather provide opportunities for al fresco dining and outdoor activities.

Play golf at the pristine 18-hole course, relax by the pool, or have fun with lawn games like cornhole, croquet, or oversized Connect Four. Tour the Chef's Garden to see the source of the restaurants' fresh ingredients or get some ideas for your home garden. Spend some time at the spa, take a sunset yoga class, or arrange a private session. You can interact with a trained bird of prey with a private falconry encounter. If young ones visit, they'll love the "dive-in movies" at the family pool, the well-equipped game room, and San Diego's nearby attractions.

“One of best nights ever in this fun place.” Review of Aist

Been a few times, usually when guests in town. Be warned it is pricy for sure. Still have been there with just one friend once and all i can say is we had the best fun, tries great food + a bunch of different drinks. We had some fun that is for sure and were probably last to leave! After that night we both agreed we must come and come again :-) Another time i went with a group, we had really good fun, the food was very good & the wine flowed. We did sit outside & it was quite chilly. Still it is a place with good atmosphere and it gets interesting characters all te time, its a real see and be seen place. fun fun fun...

Hard to believe how a restaurant can be so expensive. A tuna tartar , a green salad a glass of wine and an espresso summed up to 70 euro

If you want to have a good dinner wi9th excellent service good food and choice Aist is a nice choice. It is aNovikov venue that is always dependable somehow pricy buy worth the experience. The entrence level is a very nice cafe.. In summer you can enjoy outside garden and top terrace too..

Quite place just in the heart of Moscow. Tasty food, attentive staff. They also serve there tasty waterpipes.

Went there with a friend of mine on a warm summer evening. Had a very nice dinner on their roof-top terrace that overlooks a nice neighborhood with many trees. The service was attentive, food nice, but quite pricey - most seafood is by the 100 grams, and langoustines can weigh quite a bit as we learned. It is a place for the Moscow in-crowd, lots of big cars and their chauffeurs waiting outside. Worth a visit especially on warm sunny days, but if your focus is on food, not ambience, then there a less pricey options around.

10 Fun-Filled Road Trip Games for Adult Travelers

Posted: April 10, 2024 | Last updated: April 11, 2024

Embarking on a road trip can be an exhilarating adventure, but long hours on the road often lead to boredom and restlessness. To transform your journey into an enjoyable and memorable experience, we’ve compiled a list of 10 engaging road trip games specifically designed for adults. From brain-teasing puzzles to creative storytelling, each game on this list promises to keep the spirit of adventure alive, ensuring that your road trip is as exciting as the destination itself.

Did You Hear That?

This game involves one person making up a fictional, often absurd news headline, and others must ask questions to guess if it’s true or false. It’s a great way to stir up laughter and keep everyone’s mind engaged.

The Singing Game

Players take turns singing a song, and the next person must start their song with the last word sung in the previous song. This game is perfect for music lovers and keeps everyone entertained and singing along.

The Alphabet Categories

Choose a category (like animals, cities, etc.) and take turns naming an item in that category starting with each letter of the alphabet. This game is both fun and a brain teaser, perfect for passing time.

The Counting Game

Pick a common roadside item (like red cars or billboards) and count them. This game keeps passengers observant and engaged with their surroundings, reducing boredom.

Name The Song

Someone hums or plays a few bars of a song, and others have to guess the song’s name. This game taps into everyone’s musical knowledge and preferences, creating a fun and competitive atmosphere.

The License Plate Game

Spot license plates from different states or make words out of the letters on them. This game is a classic road trip game that encourages observation and can last throughout the entire trip.

Would You Rather

Players pose scenarios with two difficult choices to others, sparking conversations and laughter. This game often leads to interesting discussions and helps pass the time quickly.

The Movie Game

Connect actors through movies they have starred in, or guess a movie from quotes or plot descriptions. It’s great for movie buffs and keeps everyone’s minds sharp.

20 Questions

Think of something, and others have up to 20 questions to guess what it is. This guessing game is a timeless way to engage everyone’s deductive reasoning skills.

The Storytelling Chain

Start a story and have each person in the car add a sentence to it. This game encourages creativity and often results in hilarious, unexpected storylines.
