While the effects of the pandemic brought many couples closer together, plenty of them came to admit that too much togetherness made them long for “a different kind of togetherness.” In response to this longing, Wall Street Journal editors investigated the desire for adults-only getaways, and the results of that search gleaned surprising results.
Reporters interviewed Jack Ezon, founder of Embark Beyond, who marveled at the rise in demand for “kid-free” destinations, accelerating from just 48% of all requests for bookings to 61%. Consumers are no longer shy about admitting their desire to patronize adults-only properties, and these are some reasons why:
- Couples can personalize a stay to suit their desires without worrying about the little one.
- It’s easier to leave distractions back home when staying at an adults-only sanctuary.
- The number of adults-only properties has grown in direct proportion to their popularity.
- They’re the quintessential destinations for romance and intimacy.
- Making new friends is easier when there are no kids around to distract.
- If you’ve never experienced “kid-free tranquility,” you don’t know what you’re missing!
An adults-only island experience? Now you’re talking!
To call Belize’s Coco Plum Island Resort an ordinary adults-only property would be an understatement. This intimate private island measures only 16 acres in size and consists of only 18 private oceanfront cabanas and one 3 bedroom overwater villa, thus frequent guests agree that they often feel like the only couple on the island. Coco Plum is known for its superior personal service delivered by the most personable staff and crew in Belize.
Not every couple comes to Coco Plum for romantic reasons, so opportunities to socialize with the small number of other guests during tours, while enjoying onsite amenities, dining, and gathering at the island’s popular beach bar abound. The resort’s Serenity Spa and Yoga Deck is one of the island’s biggest draws, because men, women, and couples can avail themselves of services.
