Between rushed dinners, school runs, and late-night work emails, it can be incredibly hard to stay connected to your partner. But carving out time for a just-the-two-of-you vacation—one where you leave the kids at home!—can rebuild that connection like nothing else.
If you’re yearning to slow things down and simply savor time together, consider an effortless resort stay. There’s no pressure to do anything but enjoy one another’s company, unwind in paradise, and soak up the view. Consider it a relationship reset! Here are three gorgeous resort options that allow you to revel in the romance while you both get to take it easy, for a change:

Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun
On Mexico’s sun-splashed East Coast, you can enjoy pretty Caribbean blue water as far as the eye can see. Head to this Secrets property for an adult-only atmosphere that combines sophisticated vibes with a spectacular beachfront location, with a wide swath of powdery soft sand perfect for romantic strolls. I had some clients return from this all-inclusive resort recently, and they were full of raves!
The sleek, modern resort not only features a great beach, but a fantastic duo of pools overlooking the ocean—including a breathtaking infinity pool! To up the romance on your stay, you can opt for a “swim out suite” that comes with its own private pool, tucked away amid a lush tropical landscape.

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta
The other side of Mexico—the more dramatic Pacific Coast—is also an ideal location for an effortless adults-only escape. I recommend you check into this Hyatt Ziva property, which is surrounded by cliffs and lush jungle and features its own semi-private beach. The sprawling resort features four infinity pools, 10 restaurants, and an oceanfront spa.
While Hyatt Ziva isn’t adults only, there are kid-free areas on the property—including an adult-only pool and infinity hot tub. You can also create a world all your own by splurging for a private poolside cabana, or upgrade to a club-level room with its own private hot tub!

Sandals Negril Jamaica
Sandals Resorts are synonymous with “romance” for a good reason. Every aspect of these resorts were created with adult-only luxury in mind, and they cater to couples looking for an intimate escape from the day-to-day. I recommend you let go of all your worries at Sandals Negril, an oceanfront property right on Negril’s famous Seven Mile Beach.
One of the best things about this resort’s location is that you’re perfectly situated for sunset views—there’s nothing like a long beach stroll as you watch the blazing sun sink below the horizon! Contemporary style, beachfront dining, and an all-included scuba program give you more to love. For a truly unforgettable stay, go for one of the “SkyPool” suites featuring a private plunge pool, panoramic ocean views, and butler service.
