Adults-Only Resort Spas—No Kids Allowed!
By Kate Phillips | June 4, 2013We 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.

Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat – Queensland, Australia
This green-friendly, adults-only destination spa sits on 500 acres of bushland and rainforest, atop a plateau looking out over the Tallebudgera Valley; the only thing more fantastic is its comprehensive wellness menu of organic lifestyle and specialty health retreats.

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.

Miraval Resort & Spa – Tucson, AZ
While the kids are away, the adults will play—and find mind-body balance! Rejuvenate in this award-winning resort’s Life in Balance Spa, in its casita-style guest rooms, and during ample fitness, challenge, and wellness activities.

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.
