>> Top singles resorts
The television and internet are flooded with ads for resorts that cater to couples. It might sometimes seem that a resort requires people to be romantically attached before they book a room. Even before the internet, resorts catering to singles were mostly promoted via word of mouth and in brochures from travel agents.
Singles resorts often carry with them an image of debauchery. But many do not at all resemble the kind of "spring break for adults" scene that one might expect. There are plenty of tasteful venues that cater to singles who want to meet and mingle and, perhaps, find a bit of romance in an idyllic setting.
Here are some of the best bets for unattached travelers seeking the perfect vacation destination.
1. Club Med is still the gold standard for singles resorts. Though the brand has branched out to include family-friendly resorts and romantic destinations for couples, the brand still retains its image as a caterer to the non-attached. Club Med's resorts are found throughout the world. Places like Turkoise, an all-inclusive resort on Turks and Caicos, still hang on to their adults-only policy. Aside from the onsite nightlife, this particular Club Med resort has a pristine stretch of sandy beach and plenty of water sports options (from sailing to SCUBA). Prices for a weeklong excursion can top $3,000. However, off season rates and special promotions can bring the price closer to $1,000 (not including airfare). Even if a specific Club resort is not labeled "adults-only," it can still be quite friendly to singles. Only those Club Med resorts with children's programs are more family-centric. That said, the best place to meet other singles is at one of the resorts that specifically cater to adults. Aside from the Turks and Caicos location, other 21+ resorts are found in Brazil, Turkey, Italy, and Martinique.
2. Negril, Jamaica is the unofficial capitol of the Caribbean's singles scene. It is where Royal Decameron has its showcase resort. This all-inclusive chain is notable because of its dance-till-dawn beachside parties and bottomless cocktail glasses. Though it does not have as many locations as Club Med, extra entertainment options like casinos, water sports, and optional guided tours make it a good bet for singles who want to have a good time partying, but also want to see and do more than dance and drink. Other resorts bearing the Decameron name can be found in Columbia, Panama, and Morocco. All-inclusive packages and special offers make the rates at Decameron competitive with Club Med's.
3. Hedonism Resorts, run by the all inclusive resort company SuperClubs, are arguably the most over-the-top adults-only resorts in the world. The Hedonism brand has been around for more than two decades and continues to garner recognition for its party atmosphere. Hedonism II, located on a prime piece of seaside in Negril, Jamaica, offers all night parties, all-you-can-drink-and-eat deals and two stunning beaches, one of which allows nude sunbathing. The other Hedonism Resort, this one with an III after its name, is located on Jamaica's North Coast. If you ever wanted to go to a disco with a see-through water slide built directly above the dance floor, this is your resort. Prices for a weeklong vacation are about $2000 per person, all-inclusive (except airfare). Hedonism also offers day and night passes, which allow 12-hours of access to the resort for $50 - $75.
4. Though it is not an all-inclusive resort, Miami's South Beach is a fleshly stretch of beach lined with nightclubs. Beachside hotels like the hip Whitelaw Hotel or the stylish Hilton Grand Vacation Club offer great accommodations. They are literally a few steps away from some of Miami's hottest nightclubs and a beach scene that is populated by "beautiful people" during the day. Clubs like Tantra and Opium draw the city's scene-makers, but nightspots sit shoulder-to-shoulder in South Beach, so there are plenty of other options for getting down and dirty. South Beach is a good bet for singles who want a diverse scene with more choices than an all-inclusive resort can provide.
5. Temptations Resort and Spa in Cancun (a second location is in Los Cabos) has an element of classiness that makes it stand out above other, more party-oriented adult resorts. This is definitely an all inclusive resort, with eating, drinking and a full range of water sports and activities included in the price. There are numerous restaurants and bars on the grounds as well as several themed swimming pools with optional topless sunbathing. The cabaret shows and full service spa are two more features that differentiate Temptations from other singles spots. For those seeking something with a little bit of class that still retains a party atmosphere, this is the good bet.
