The 11 Best Sex Resorts For An Erotic Vacation In 2024

Between the black-out curtains, kid-free king-size bed, and piles of pillows, there’s no doubt that hotels are the perfect place to make sexy memories. But did you know that at some hotels and resorts, your personal suite isn’t the only place you can get it on? Behold: Sex resorts.

These sensual vacation spots are perfect for anyone who likes to get a little rowdy during their R&R. While offerings vary from resort to resort, most feature intimacy-enhancing amenities and host events like themed parties, nude pools, erotic massages, and even full-fledged orgies. FYI: “They don’t usually brand themselves as a sex resort, though,” says Jessica O’Reilly, PhD, a sexologist and host of the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. Typically, they call themselves “sex-positive resorts,” she explains.

Besides the obvious physical perks of staying at a sex resort, the mental benefits abound, too. Because society tends to teach people that sex and nudity are shameful, “going to a sex resort can be a liberating reminder that there is nothing shameful or wrong about sex or nudity—but that it’s actually something to celebrate,” says Gigi Engle, ACS, CSE, CSC, a certified sex educator and author of All The F*cking Mistakes: a guide to sex, love, and life.

Even if sexy parties don’t sound like your thing, going to one of these resorts is a great opportunity to get naked (outside of sex), become more comfortable with your body, learn more about your boundaries, make open-minded friends, and even meet other couples and singles that you opt to hook up with, says O’Reilly. “Many people report that being in an erotic environment improves their sex lives by boosting their desire, sparking new conversations, and broadening their sexual horizons,” she explains.
