The Most Relaxing Resorts For When You Just Need a Break From People

Sometimes life is amazing.

Sometimes life is…full of humans asking for snacks and questioning your sanity.

When you need sunshine, silence, and a margarita fairy godmother, these are the resorts I’d happily teleport you to.

Whether they’re fully adults-only or have a peaceful adults-only section, these resorts are all about maximum chill and minimal noise.

Impression By Secrets Moxché – Riviera Maya, Mexico

If you love pools, you’re going to lose your mind here. There are pools on pools on pools. My personal happy place: the one with the manmade beach. Pure bliss.

Let me tell you… the rooftop infinity pool alone is worth staying here. Incredible views, fantastic service, and just a totally elevated feel. It’s a resort where you immediately think “Yep. This is the life.”

Couples Swept Away – Negril, Jamaica

Negril is where stress goes to die. This resort has such a chilled-out vibe, you’ll forget what day it is.

If you love a gorgeous beach, this is the one. And please go to the piano bar. We stumbled into a sing-along and had the absolute best time.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana – Dominican Republic

If your perfect day involves zero effort and a pool concierge who sets up your Bali bed, brings fresh towels, and adjusts the shade so you stay perfectly comfortable… you’re going to love it here. Basically, you show up and they make sure you’re living your best pool-side life.

I stayed in Elegance Club and I’d pick it again for sure. Heads up: both Elegance Club and swim-ups sell out way in advance. If you want those perks, don’t wait.

Zoëtry Casa del Mar – Los Cabos, Mexico

This one feels like staying in a beautiful Mexican casa, not a big resort. It’s small, elegant, and incredibly peaceful.

Important note: there isn’t much entertainment. If you want nightlife, this ain't it. If you want to hear your brain for the first time in months… this is the place.

UNICO Vallarta – Riviera Nayarit, Mexico (new & exciting)

If you love the idea of wellness meets luxury meets “no kids anywhere,” keep an eye on this one.

It’s stylish. It’s relaxing. It’s going to get very popular very fast. Early bragging rights if you go soon.

Casa Velas – Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Boutique, gorgeous, and grown-up all the way through. You get access to a private beach club that might ruin you for all future beach clubs.

Perfect for couples and girlfriend trips when you want to feel pampered without the crowds.

What a Perfectly Lazy Vacation Day Looks Like (for me anyway)

• Wake up to room service on my balcony with ocean views

• Feet in the sand for a long beach walk

• Straight to the pool for the rest of the day

• Lunch delivered right to my pool lounger

• A pre-dinner cocktail in the lobby bar

• Dinner someone else cooks and cleans up

• Live music to finish a perfect day

Zero stress. Zero responsibility. Maximum reset.

Proof That These Trips Actually Work

One time at a resort, the pool server saw me and immediately brought me two margaritas because he remembered what I liked the day before.

At 10:30 AM I realized: my brain had fully checked out and gone on its own holiday.

This is why adults need vacations.
