7 Serene Adults-Only Resorts in Europe
Adulting can be tough. With the freedom to do what you like comes responsibility, and with responsibility comes, well, having to clear the outrageous cocktail bill at the end of your vacation because you dared to forget about all those responsibilities, just for a while. Not so, on the kind of all-new, adult-only hotel experiences sweeping through Europe’s hotel scene right now. Not only do these carefully selected stays offer an all-inclusive package that allows you to pay upfront and indulge later (in drinks, snacks, meals and often activities), but they are little corners of adult escapism, only open to those mature enough to appreciate the particularly trailblazing Michelin-starred menu, the phenomenal frothy-fresh cocktails, the calming hues of the smooth-edged Scandi-influenced design, or simply the way the sun hits the sea at a certain time of day. Whatever you’re looking for from an adult-only, all-inclusive hotel in Europe, there’s an option here to (gently) hit the spot.

Best for: Chic beach party vibes
Opened in April 2023, the Halkidiki member of the currently 14-strong Domes group that’s blossomed across Greece and Portugal was not the newest for long—Domes Novos Santorini arrived in April of this year, 91 Athens Riviera is set to launch in summer, and plans have been announced for another spot in Corfu Old Town soon. There’s a reason the portfolio is flourishing so quickly: Each maintains a certain pared-back, cool vibe yet also has its own character, bringing to its location whatever it was previously lacking. In this case, it’s a more grown-up “beach club with rooms” option on the increasingly nightlife-heavy Kassandra peninsula (nearby Chania has quieter tavernas and plenty of ancient sites, should you want a party reprieve).
Its easy breezy look fuses inside with outside—colored marble and classical Grecian design is set off by vibrant, carefully tended flowers; the stand-out infinity pool drops, like your shoulders, effortlessly into the Aegean’s horizon. The ‘Haute Living’ option includes a generous breakfast of local delicacies and excellent fresh fish and local wine at the hotel’s restaurant Topos. Be sure to make the most of the waves-facing, open-air gym and Soma Spa to come home having both partied and been pampered.
