These 10 sex resorts take R&R to new levels.
Hotels are excellent for many reasons, from king-sized beds to plush piles of pillows and, of course, room service. At these hotels, those beds, pillows, and rooms are certainly put to good use. Enter: Sex resorts — sensual, clothing-optional spaces for adults looking to indulge in a little more than the usual vacation thrills.
Amenities and activities vary from resort to resort, but many feature nude pools, spicy-themed party nights, and playrooms – dimly lit spaces equipped with beds and toys for couples, and sometimes singles, to enjoy some consensual woo-hoo-ing. Those who book a room at these resorts range from couples seeking a more intimate vacation to fully-fledged “lifestyle” travelers looking to explore their deepest desires and meet other open-minded individuals.

Hedonism II
WHERE: Negril, Jamaica
Known all around the world, this sex resort is famous for a reason. Hedonism II is Negril’s infamous, all-inclusive lifestyle playground. The lay of the land includes the nude side for “hedos” who want to bare it all, and the prude side, which is clothing optional. The resort is constantly pulsing with activities to indulge in, like sensual tantra massages. Sexy theme nights, from “leather & lingerie” to masquerades, are held daily and designed to help guests live out their fantasies in this pleasure paradise. From 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., the playroom is open for couples, single women, and invited single men to “play” together. Those who want to watch will have to go elsewhere. For lovers in need of more time, Hedonism’s Happening Hut is a nude-side secluded cabin open 24 hours.
