Check Out Our List of Top 10 Lifestyle Resorts Around the World
When discussing the "lifestyle" resort category—specifically those catering to the non-monogamous, swinger, or clothing-optional communities—exact guest counts are rarely published publicly. However, based on industry reputation, property capacity, and booking popularity, these are the top 10 most influential and hi lifestyle resorts.
1. Temptation Cancun Resort (Mexico)
The "playground for grown-ups," this is arguably the highest-capacity lifestyle resort. With over 400 rooms and a high-energy "topless-optional" atmosphere, it hosts tens of thousands of guests annually and is the flagship for the Original Group.
2. Desire Riviera Maya Resort (Mexico)
A more intimate, couples-only, clothing-optional resort. While it has fewer rooms than Temptation, it maintains nearly 100% occupancy year-round due to its prestigious reputation in the lifestyle community.
3. Hedonism II (Negril, Jamaica)
The most legendary name in the industry. Known for its "prude" and "nude" sides, it has been a staple for the lifestyle community for decades. Its large footprint and variety of themed weeks make it a high-volume destination.
4. Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort (Mexico)
The sister property to the original Desire, the Pearl offers a more boutique, high-end experience. It caters to a similar demographic but with a more modern, "pearl" aesthetic.
5. Desire Mansion (Mexico)
Located within the Desire Riviera Maya Pearl complex, this ultra-exclusive "resort within a resort" offers the highest level of luxury and privacy for high-net-worth members of the community.
6. Adam & Eve Hotel (Belek, Turkey)
While not strictly a "lifestyle" resort in the swinging sense, it is widely recognized as one of the world's leading "adults-only design resorts." Its high-volume capacity (over 450 rooms) and overtly sensual atmosphere make it a favorite for open couples in Europe and the Middle East.
7. Sea Mountain Inn (Palm Springs/ Las Vegas)
One of the most famous lifestyle-friendly boutique resorts in the United States. It is a frequent winner of "Best Boutique Lifestyle Resort" awards and operates as a private, clothing-optional sanctuary.
8. Club Orient (St. Martin)
A world-renowned clothing-optional resort located on Orient Bay. While it caters to a broader naturist crowd, its open atmosphere and "live and let live" philosophy make it a major hub for open-minded travelers.
9. Cap d'Agde (Village Naturiste, France)
While technically a "town" rather than a single resort, this is the global epicenter of the lifestyle. During the summer months, tens of thousands of people occupy the various hotels and apartments within the village, making it the highest-density lifestyle location on earth.
10. Trapeze (Multiple Locations, UK/Europe)
Though often operating as high-end clubs or "pop-up" takeover events at larger hotels, the Trapeze brand and its associated hotel takeovers represent a massive share of the lifestyle market in the United Kingdom.
Create Space and Time for play!
Even the happiest and most stable couples and singles neglect to make space for sensuality, intimacy and connection. Work, kids, life and all of its trappings can easily kill the flow of creative sensuality. Escaping with your partner, another open couple or friends is key to creating space for monogamish play or simply connection without play of any kind.
The larger Monogamish community has a growing number of options for those who seek to explore the world with others of open mind. Whether you travel on a Lifestyle cruise, attend a Lifestyle resort or simply want to have a local overnight adventure, there are always options available for adventurous Monogamish couples and singles.
You just need to know where look for resorts, events and or travel destinations that are designed for sensually open minds. The events and resorts shared are in no way ranked in order of preference or meant as endorsements for each specific listing.
