Swinger Atlas

Swinger hotels and lifestyle resorts

Updated 13 November 2026

A lifestyle resort is a hotel where the guests are swingers or open to it. Some are lifestyle hotels all year. Others are ordinary adults-only resorts that host lifestyle groups for a week, called a takeover.

Three kinds

Lifestyle-only resorts. Every guest is in the lifestyle. Mexico's Caribbean coast is the best-known place for them in North America, and Jamaica has some of the oldest.

Swinger hotels in Europe. Germany has small hotels with a club attached, where you sleep upstairs after a night downstairs. "Swinger hotel" draws about 1,900 searches a month in Germany alone. France has gîtes and hotels near libertine clubs, with Cap d'Agde as the best-known summer spot.

Takeovers. A travel company books a whole resort or ship for a week. Guests share the same expectations and the rest of the hotel is closed to outsiders. See cruises.

How to choose

Resorts are listed in this atlas with the clubs, marked as lifestyle resorts on each country page.
