Adult-friendly getaways: Breaks from the everyday

Adult-friendly getaways or adult only holidays is a quickly growing trend in travel. That’s not to say people are sick of seeing their children (in most cases), it just means you want a break from the everyday and a chance to explore a destination with more freedom. It might be a couple who’d rather do the more adventurous activities that might not be suitable for children, or parents who want to recharge their batteries on a wellness break. Whatever reason you have for looking for an adult-friendly getaway, we have you covered with a range of products perfect for adults. 

ABTA has recently unveiled their travel trend statistics for 2025 and the results show that 44% of travellers said they went on holiday with their significant other in the past 12 months, up from 40% the year before. Also, it’s not just couples without children who are travelling in twos, 29% of parents treated themselves to a baecation in the past 12 months, up from 21% last year. Which just goes to show, adult-friendly holidays are a real growing trend within the travel industry.

Maybe you want to enjoy a private cooking experience with a local Sri-Lankan, or swing across the cloud forest of Costa Rica on an adrenaline-fuelled zip-line. Whatever you’re looking for on your adult-friendly getaway we’ve got you covered. We’ve put together a collection of our go-to holidays for you to choose from:

A Taste of Tanzania

Sometimes the best way to get out of your everyday life is to get as far away as possible, and that is where Tanzania comes in. Not just the difference in distance (all the way on the south east coast of Africa) but also the landscape is so vastly different. Tanzania is one of Africa’s most epic countries to explore. Boasting the jaw-dropping wildebeest migration and the highest peak in Africa, this is your chance to explore Tanzania and experience the magical Serengeti, spot hippos wallowing in the wetlands of Ngorongoro Crater, and the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara National Park.

With our Taste of Tanzania your adventure begins when you arrive in Arusha International Airport, situated between Mount Kilimanjaro National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. After being transferred directly to your accommodation, you’ll then have the chance to either explore the local area or simply relax and re-energise, ready to begin your Tanzanian tour.

7 Day Escapade in Mauritius

If you’re a bit of a thrill-seeker, but also love those sandy beaches and unwinding with a book under the sun, then our Mauritius itinerary will suit you. With activities like snorkeling, hiking through the black river gorges national park – you’ll feel enriched by the scenery and adventure.

Our favourite part of this Mauritius adventure though is the chance to engage in crafts with the locals. You’ll be guided to a local town where the traditional craftsman will show you how they create things with organic materials. Then, once that is done you’ll have the chance to cook a traditional meal with them and really get under the skin of mauritian culture. If this sounds like your kind of thing, then check out our 7 Day Escapade in Mauritius.
