Top Adults-Only All-Inclusive Resorts in the U.S.

If all-inclusive resorts make you think of simple buffets and endless margaritas, think again. For those seeking a more refined getaway (think: no crying babies at breakfast or kids splashing in the pool), adults-only all-inclusive resorts are the perfect choice. Best of all, you can enjoy these escapes without leaving the United States.

From a wellness-focused haven in the Arizona desert to a luxurious mansion-turned-resort in upstate New York, here are the top adults-only all-inclusive resorts across the country, catering to various types of travelers. Each offers premium amenities, enriching activities, and delicious dining options.

1. The Lodge at Woodloch, Pennsylvania

Set in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains (approximately three hours from New York City), The Lodge at Woodloch is the adults-only counterpart to the family-friendly Woodloch Pines Resort, located just two miles away. This serene spa resort features 58 accommodations, each with a private balcony, and offers over 35 classes ranging from silk scarf painting and smoothie demonstrations to evening kayaking and axe throwing. With six-plus miles of trails perfect for hiking and forest bathing, guests also enjoy three gourmet meals a day (plus snacks)—many made with herbs and produce sourced from the property or nearby (think: handcrafted black bean burgers with garden greens and summer squash pasta). Amenities include indoor and outdoor pools (the outdoor one boasts forest views), whirlpools, saunas, and a 3,000-square-foot fitness studio.

2. Bungalows Key Largo, Florida

For a luxurious warm-weather getaway year-round, Bungalows Key Largo is the perfect choice. This oceanfront all-inclusive resort welcomes guests aged 21 and older and is famous for its unique bungalows, each featuring a private outdoor area with a soaking tub and shower. When not lounging by one of two pools, guests can enjoy unmotorized water sports or beachfront yoga. Additional perks include premium liquor at the three bars, an on-site fitness tiki hut equipped with Peloton bikes, live entertainment (including karaoke, trivia, calypso, and acoustic performances), and six chic bars and restaurants (with the exception of Bogie & Bacall’s—the resort’s fine-dining venue specializing in steak and seafood, which is not included). Alternatively, guests can treat themselves to a spa service (pricing varies) or enjoy a floating tiki boat ride for $50 per person.

3. Twin Farms, Vermont

Twin Farms encompasses 300 acres of idyllic Vermont landscape (roughly 90 minutes from Burlington and three hours from Boston). This ultra-luxurious Relais & Château resort offers accommodations ranging from guest rooms and suites to standalone cottages, all adorned with exquisite furnishings and decor (including mosaic or marble fireplaces, hand-stenciled walls, antique claw-foot tubs, stone hot tubs, and museum-quality art). Guests enjoy three gourmet meals daily (how about a picnic lunch in the meadow?); evening cocktails and canapés; a selection of wine, beer, and spirits; as well as all activities (such as fly-fishing, paddleboarding, archery, and in winter, skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and ice skating). Don’t forget to visit the Bridge House Spa (treatments are additional) or the on-site Japanese furo, akin to a giant hot tub.

4. Miraval Berkshires, Massachusetts

Unwind at Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa in Lenox (approximately a 2.5-hour drive from Boston). The daily itinerary brims with complimentary activities—meditation, hiking, Pilates, farm tours, honey tastings, gluten-free baking, and snowshoeing—catering to all kinds of travelers. Guests can enjoy the swimming pool or indulge in treatments at the Balinese-inspired Life in Balance Spa. Each guest room is equipped with wellness-focused amenities like Tibetan singing bowls and meditation cushions. While alcoholic beverages aren’t included, visitors can savor a rotating menu of chef-prepared meals and snacks crafted from locally sourced seasonal ingredients—some sourced directly from the property’s gardens, beehives, and chicken coops—such as grass-fed beef burgers and cheese charcuterie with fresh honeycomb. Additionally, for a fee, food enthusiasts can take part in Miraval’s diverse culinary offerings, including farm-to-table picnics, chef’s garden tours, sustainable seafood demos, and kombucha brewing, among others.

5. Canyon Ranch, Arizona

Find your zen at Canyon Ranch. This luxurious 150-acre spa resort is ideally located near the Sonoran Desert and Santa Catalina Mountains, less than half an hour from Tucson.

The cozy guest rooms and suites, decorated in warm tones inspired by the desert landscape, enhance the overall experience.

6. Golden Door, California

While a week-long stay at this expansive 600-acre SoCal retreat, located about 40 minutes from San Diego, exceeds $10,000 (excluding tax and gratuity), guests can indulge in a range of impressive amenities, including up to four personal training sessions throughout the week, two labyrinths, all meals and snacks, 30 miles of exclusive hiking trails, and 80 fitness and wellness classes. The exceptional 4:1 guest-to-staff ratio guarantees personalized service and superior hospitality.

The farm-to-table dining features fresh produce from the on-site farm, along with locally sourced seafood and poultry for optimal freshness and minimal carbon footprint. Each accommodation boasts private decks or patios with serene views of the Japanese garden.

7. The Green O, Montana

For a romantic, adults-only all-inclusive getaway, look no further than The Green O, a unique hotel-within-a-hotel at the sprawling 37,000-acre Resort at Paws Up (about 38 miles from Missoula International Airport). Guests of The Green O can choose from 12 stunning “hauses,” each offering breathtaking forest views and over 1,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space, with some accommodations featuring hot tubs or fireplaces. Adventure lovers will appreciate the wide range of activities available, including horseback riding, archery, skiing, and hot air balloon rides (at an extra cost). The highlight, however, is the locally sourced, farmed, and foraged cuisine, artfully prepared and presented. Guests can watch live-fire cooking in action, with fresh, ranch-raised meats grilled to perfection, thanks to the open kitchen design that is a culinary marvel in itself.

8. The Point, New York

This upstate New York retreat, which caters exclusively to guests aged 21 and over, was originally constructed by the Rockefeller family in the early 1900s. Today, this lakeside haven honors its heritage with 19th-century artwork and antiques. Each guest room showcases unique rustic-chic decor, including handcrafted beds and en suite fireplaces. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a glass of bubbly, setting the tone for a tranquil getaway. Visitors can relax in communal areas, watch the sunset from wooden terraces, enjoy cocktails at the on-site bars (including the Pub, a well-stocked bar and game room), or snuggle up in cozy fireplace lounges. Other activities include gourmet picnic lunches, swimming in the lake, boat rides, or scenic hikes. The culinary offerings (three-course lunches and four-course dinners) feature seasonal dishes expertly paired with fine wines from the resort’s private cellar. Additionally, every Wednesday and Saturday evening, The Point hosts lavish black-tie dinners—extravagant seven-course feasts.
