Little Palm Island Resort & Spa (Little Torch Key, Florida)
This hideaway is only accessible by seaplane or boat, and there are no TVs or phones allowed, leaving couples with nothing to do but focus on each other. Guests stay in air-conditioned thatched-roof bungalow suites with outdoor bamboo showers, ocean-view verandahs, and the opportunity to dine on the beach in style. This place is so private that U.S. presidents and celebrities have stayed here (but we bet they kept their phones).

Restia Suites (Corfu, Greece)
Restia Suites offers the ultimate in privacy for couples—you can book a suite with a personal spa room (or use the shared spa facilities on the beach) or a room with a private garden and swimming pool. You may be tempted to venture out of your intimate digs, though, to explore the Almiros Bay just outside your door and the protected Antinioti Lagoon located only 10 minutes away.
Sanctuary Rarotonga (Rarotonga, Cook Islands)
Set on the Cook Islands' southwest coast (famous for its all-day sunshine), Sanctuary Rarotonga has beachfront suites from which you can step directly onto Aroa Beach's white sand. Then it's just a short walk to the Aroa Lagoon Marine Reserve for swimming and snorkeling. Back at the resort you can lounge in the swim-up pool bar, enjoy a private candlelit dinner with a personal waiter on the beach, or relax in the couple's spa suite.
Le Blanc Spa Resort (Cancun, Mexico)
Have your every whim catered to at the all-inclusive Le Blanc Spa Resort, where thereâs one staff member for each guest, butler service, and white-glove touches like cool-towel and fresh-fruit service on the beach. There's even an entire "comfort menu" from which you can order specialty pillows, bath soaks, and in-room aromatherapy treatments. The Cancun location is miles from the Spring Break scene—it's secluded between the Caribbean Sea and Nichupte Lagoon.
The House (St. James, Barbados)
The House is all about pampering: Your trip will start with a free jet-lag-revival massage, followed by complimentary afternoon tea and evening canapes, and the next day will begin with a free Champagne breakfast.
Little Arches (Christ Church, Barbados)
Tucked away in a bay on the south coast of Barbados, Little Arches is just a short stroll away from the stunning white-sand Enterprise Beach. This family-owned and -operated boutique hotel has just 10 rooms, so in addition to not seeing any children, you might even go for hours without seeing anyone else!
Jade Mountain at Anse Chastanet (Soufriere, St. Lucia)
Decompress at the Jade Mountain at Anse Chastanet, which is not only childfree but also techno-free—meaning no phones, TV, or Internet access (unless you break down and make a special request for Web access). Why would you want anything to distract from the panoramic views available in every room (all have the fourth wall completely open so you can gaze out on the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea)? You won't have to leave the view for a second—even the bathrooms have scenic views from the special pedestal chromatherapy whirlpool tubs.
Royal Davui Island Resort (Beqa Lagoon, Fiji)
A private island oasis set atop a living barrier reef in the South Pacific, Royal Davui Island Resort offers 16 villas. The villas are hidden from each other by dense tropical plants, and all feature personal decks, private plunge pools, and open-air showers. Get out of your cabin—but still enjoy seclusion—with a meal on one of the private dining decks.
The Royal Playa del Carmen (Playa del Carmen, Mexico)
The newly redesigned Royal Playa del Carmen has 507 spacious suites for couples. In every suite thereâs a double Jacuzzi, a terrace or balcony, and even a pillow menu! Take a dip in the ocean or in the resortâs Olympic-sized pool, challenge your partner to a match on the rooftop tennis court, or just relax while your Royal Butler takes care of all your needs.
The Sarojin (Khao Lak, Thailand)
The Sarojin resort is surrounded by five national parks. It also has its own 10 acres of tropical gardens, as well as private access to a nearly seven-mile-long white-sand beach on the Andaman Sea. Book a "just for two" romantic dinner and dine next to a jungle waterfall, on the beach, or in your own room. Personalize your trip here with the help of the resort's "imagineer," who will work with you to design and execute the perfect vacation.
