The general minimum age is 18, though it&#8217;s worth confirming per hotel, since local regulations in some destinations set the bar at 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That age restriction is the whole concept: with no children on-site, RIU Hotels &amp; Resorts can offer quieter pool areas, dedicated lounging terraces, and a dining and entertainment lineup built for couples, groups of friends, or travelers looking to switch off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-id=\"41506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/riu-adults-only-1600x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/riu-adults-only-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/riu-adults-only-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/riu-adults-only-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/riu-adults-only-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/riu-adults-only-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-id=\"41512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/adults-only-riu-1600x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/adults-only-riu-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/adults-only-riu-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/adults-only-riu-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/adults-only-riu-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/adults-only-riu-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s included in an Adults Only stay at RIU?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Adults Only experience blends wellness, dining and nightlife, all within All Inclusive service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wellness:<\/strong> treatments and massages at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/en\/riu-experience\/relax-hotels\"> Renova Spa<\/a>, available at several Adults Only properties, with solo or couples&#8217;
