Adults-Only Resort Spas—No Kids Allowed!

We are definitely kid crazy (we just wrote a feature on babies and spa, after all!), but we know sometimes that parents want to leave the little ones at home and get away for some much-needed R&R. Check out these adults-only spas where the grownups rule the playground.

Westglow Resort & Spa – Blowing Rock, NC

The Blue Ridge Mountain setting may be enough to entice you to the European-style Westglow, but when you hear of its Life Enrichment Center, complete with private sun decks and a fireside lounge overlooking mountain vistas, it’ll be a no-brainer to book your visit.

Jade Mountain – Soufriere, St. Lucia

Jade Mountain is a resort catering to adults (guests must be 16 years or older), and you’d be hard-pressed to find a property that offers a more sublime architectural esthetic. Built into a hillside on St. Lucia’s southwestern corner, the multi-level Jade Mountain features Kai en Ciel boutique spa, or “house of the sea,” along with guest rooms known as infinity pool sanctuaries; each has an open fourth wall and an infinity-edge pool seemingly suspended in nature.
