Adult Vacations: Choosing Your Retreat

Have you had enough of "safe?" If you're ready to step outside of your box and go somewhere that caters to those looking for something a bit wild out of their time away from work, you might be ready for adult vacations. These destinations and travel companies invite guests 18 (or sometimes 21) and over to enjoy a trip where no kids are allowed. If you're the type of person who would rather hit a sexy dance club or a strip joint than a family restaurant when you want to unwind, these trips might be right up your alley. Here are some of the retreats you can choose from.

Winter Destinations

When most people think of adult vacations, they think of getting steamy in the heat, but you can have just as much sexy fun when it's cold outside. After all, an integral part of making those connections is romance. And nowhere does the romance sizzle the way it does when the temperature outside starts dropping. Look for travel packages that focus on winter resorts. If you think skiing and hiking are the only vigorous activities going on up in those mountains, you may be in for a surprise. Coming in from the cold, nothing gets the blood pumping like some time in the hot tub. Where it goes from there is up to you.

Summer Destinations

All the talk about winter destinations may have put you in the mind to see what you can get away with wearing underneath your parka, but let's face it, most adult vacations center around the warmer climes. The perfect setting for a wild and sexy excursion is a cruise. Once you're three miles out from the coast of America, all bets are off. You're in international waters now and international law applies. Those laws are quite a bit more lax than those you'll find on the shore, especially when it pertains to decency. If you want modesty and manners, you can always see where the family cruise line is going. If you want debauchery, you know where to look.

Foreign Destinations

You've probably heard about the relaxed laws in Amsterdam, the French Riviera and even the famous Hedonism resort of Jamaica. These are but a few of the destinations Americans travel to when they want to force a bit of culture shock on themselves. Of course, adult vacations don't have to be about having as much sex as you can pack into a week. Maybe you just want to tour Europe without kids begging for ice cream. If so, you'll find plenty of travel agencies ready to accommodate your wishes.
