Adults Only holidays

If you live in fear of an errant beach ball to the face, then we recommend a hotel for grown-ups that has its own private stretch of beach.

Top picks that fit this description include:

• The Heaven Beach Resort & Spa in Antalya, Turkey. This hotel has it all, a mix of private pebble and sandy beach, a large outdoor pool and a sun terrace. There are also several onsite restaurants available, meaning you never need leave the hotel grounds.
• The TRS Turquesa comes with all the benefits of any holiday in the Dominican Republic, with the fantastic addition of its own private stretch of beach. So, you can get a massage to the sound of the waves hitting the shore,with absolute certainty nobody will be crying about their sandcastle being washed away (we hope).

• If you’re staying in Torremolinos, it is well worth an excursion to nearby Malaga. There’s plenty to see and do in this Andalusian jewel, including the Alcazba, an incredibly well-preserved coastal fortress built in the 11^th century when Spain was ruled by the Moors. An architectural marvel, it also offers fantastic sea views.
• Reef and ship-wreck snorkelling in Cancun – with plenty of options and types of excursion available to suit everyone, find one to suit you for an amazing opportunity to see some amazing marine life and intriguing shipwrecks.
