Holiday resorts for swingers and tailor made swinging holidays are becoming more and more popular as the concept of living the swingers lifestyle is gaining social acceptance and respectability.
Whilst the Hedonism resorts in Jamaica have been providing swinger lifestyle holidays for over two decades now, more recently several swinger resorts in Spain have been establishing themselves as popular holiday destinations for British and other European swingers.
The Spanish swinger holiday resorts are generally on a much smaller scale than the Caribbean ones and there is far less in the way of laid on entertainment. Many British swingers do not see this as a disadvantage however, preferring to avoid the organised fun and games that is so popular with the U.S. swingers who holiday in the Caribbean. In Spain, the swinger holiday resorts are often nothing more than a large villa suitable for accommodating as few as four couples per holiday. Other resorts comprise of a group of similar villas sharing a swimming pool.
Twenty minutes away from Spain’s Costa Blanca (the white coast), there is one such resort that comprises of four luxury villas. They are located in a very beautiful valley, offering seclusion and an atmospheric spot to enjoy a quiet, yet very erotic holiday. Swinger couples renting the villas share nude sunbathing around a lovely swimming pool. It is here or on the large communal terrace that the swinger holidaymakers meet up, socialising over a drink. The only time the holiday becomes a little more organised is on Saturday nights when the swinger parties are held. The numbers attending are made by visitors who may be staying at other resorts in the area plus some local swingers too.
Elsewhere in Spain there is a swinger holiday hotel with eighty rooms and three suites for swinger groups. The hotel is located on the Costa Del Sol near to Malaga. Also located on the outskirts of Malaga is a four double-bedroom villa with totally secluded pool and terrace facilities suitable for both swinging and naturist leisure. Further east along the coast near to the resort of Nerja another similar villa offers swinger holidays with regular parties.
On the Canary Islands there are popular swinger resorts on Fuerteventura and Tenerife. On Gran Canaria there is very popular swinger party venue where you can find something going on any night of the week but you will need to stay elsewhere because it does not accommodate.
The swinger resorts referred to above are just a few examples of many such resorts that are springing up in Spain. Those described are all located in coastal regions but if you don’t mind being an hour or so from the nearest beach, there are some very good resorts to be found further inland. Our own swingers club, Club-Aphrodite.com provides members with up to date information about swinger holidays.

All Inclusive Holidays to Cuba are popular, but do yourself a favour and check out this adult only hotel which is a really romantic destination in Guardalavaca.
Undoubtedly one of the top all inclusive holidays to Cuba can be had at the Paradisus Rio de Oro in Guardalavaca. It is one of the best Sol Melia Hotels anywhere and it sits on a low rocky cliff overlooking Playa Esmeralda. Formerly a family hotel it has just been converted to to an adult only resort. To say it is in the luxury class could be very true and a number of influential people rate it as the top luxury hotel in Cuba.
The Paradisus Rio de Oro sits in beautifully manicured landscaped gardens, which is always something that guests remark upon. Within the gardens you will find well built and attractive two storey blocks which house the rooms, and also the more exclusive casitas, which consist of two apartments with separate terraces and outdoor showers.
You will enjoy the rooms, all of which are very large and very well kitted out. They have separate living areas from the bedroom, good balconies and very large bathrooms. The second floor rooms have higher ceilings than those below, and if you book a corner rooms, then the balconies are bigger.
If your pocket stretches to it, and this is an amazingly romantic honeymoon destination, then book one of the two huge oceanview villas, which are very private as well as having their own swimming pool. You won’t find better accommodation anywhere in Guardalavaca.
The whole ambience is that of a very luxurious hotel. When you walk around the paths surrounded by lush vegetation, weaving around the ponds you will see private sitting areas everywhere with hammocks slung between the trees where you can idle your time away with a good book and an amazing cocktail.
There are many all inclusive holidays to Cuba, but there isn’t an all inclusive hotel with the quality of cuisine you will find at the Paradisus Rio de Oro. You will get a far better selection of restaurants for a start, but be careful because a couple of the specialised restaurants are in high demand so early booking is advised if you want to eat there. By the way there are five restaurants, which are The Buffet restaurant open for all three meals, the Beach Restaurant with lunchtime BBq’s and snacks, then the Cuban, Mediteranean, Japanese, and Gourmet Restaurants all fine a la carte dining . If you love seafood then you will love the restaurants at the Paradisus Rio de Oro. You can eat lobster most nights!!
There is a snack bar BBQ by the pool, and three other bars, so the leisure drinkers are well catered for as well!!
The main beach which is lovely, is accessed down some stairs built into the cliff, and there are three small beaches in coves which you get to through the gardens, and they are almost like your own private beach here, because guests don’t seem to find out about them. The Paradisus Rio de Oro has rightly been described as the most beautiful resort in Cuba, as well as being one of the top luxury hotels in Cuba. There are a lot of little touches to make you realise that you have made a great choice here. This would make the most marvellous romantic honeymoon destination, especially as it has now been converted to adult only. The staff enhance the Paradisus Rio de Oro, with extremely good and courteous service, where nothing seems to be too much trouble.
If you like all inclusives, then the Paradisus Rio de Oro is undoubtedly the top in all inclusive holidays to Cuba. It is romantic, luxurious, and best of all adult only.
