Shed your cares—and your clothes—at a resort just for couples

Imagine a vacation where you can shed everything. All your worries. All that boring day-to-day routine. Your wallet and credit cards. Your inhibitions. Even your clothes.

Numerous resorts around the world offer just this kind of experience to vacationing couples looking for a chance to relax and reconnect.

Since only couples are allowed to book rooms, you don’t have to worry about noisy kids interrupting your moonlight swim in the nude. Since everything is included at these resorts, you don’t have to constantly pull out your wallet to pay for meals, drinks or activities. Even taxes and tips are part of the all-inclusive price.

While most couples resorts are located on tropical islands where going au naturel seems, well, natural, you can take your pick of vacation destinations and still enjoy the privacy and intimacy you are looking for.

The couples resort concept developed in Jamaica back in the late ‘70s. The original Couples Resorts family, now numbering four properties in some of the island’s most scenic locations, still offers incredible vacation values. In addition to meals, cocktails, airport transfers, taxes and tips, the Couples Ocho Rios Resort throws in his-and-her massages with champagne, a scuba diving resort course, lessons in wind-surfing, sailing, and water-skiing, greens fees at a golf course, snorkeling, horseback riding and trips to local attractions, over a thousand dollars of extras, all at no additional fee. Daily activities range from free tarot card readings to reggae dance lessons. And there’s a party—or two—every night.

Plan time for several trips to the resort’s au naturel private island—the highlight of every couples vacation.

And—if the mood strikes—you can get married, or renew your vows, at any of Jamaica’s four Couples Resorts. The ceremony includes bridal bouquet, wedding cake, and champagne. The cost? Completely free.
