Best adults only resorts Australia: Top 5 kid free holidays

Enjoy a kid free escape

No doubt your idea of a holiday is peace and quiet … Oh and eating a lot of food. So we can only imagine the disappointment when you check in and notice screaming kids running around unsupervised or a little boy spraying you from the pool following an attempted cannonball.

But it doesn’t need to be that way.

Adult only resorts exist and they offer the perfect opportunity to leave the kicking and screaming behind.

Adult only resorts aren’t a new concept. With options all around both Australia and the world, it’s obvious there is a strong demand for kid free holidays. In the country, there are plenty of adult only hotels to pick from, ranging from the outback to both our nation’s seaboards. As you can imagine, with relaxation the number one priority, spa retreats are the most popular option.

However, kid free escapes aren’t limited to parents leaving behind their kids. Trips fuelled by alcohol are also sought-after, and that requires an off-limit sign for little ones.
