Top Adults-Only Hotels and Resorts in Europe

Want to escape the kids? Enjoy a romantic retreat with your partner or sip cocktails on the beach with friends at adults-only resorts, where you can unwind and recharge without the usual noise and chaos of family vacations.

Keep in mind that all-inclusive does not mean adults-only, especially in Europe. While some hotels on this list may offer all-inclusive deals, being adults-only means that young children are not permitted, whether at a large international chain or a cozy boutique.

If you’re considering traveling with older teens, be sure to check the age policies of your chosen property. Some adults-only hotels allow guests as young as 12 or 16, while others require visitors to be 18 or even 21. If your kids meet the age requirement, feel free to bring them along for a refined family getaway — they’ll be more than welcome.

Whether you’re lounging by the pool or cuddling up in a suite with your partner in the Mediterranean, here are some of TPG's top picks for adults-only hotels and resorts in Europe.
