Beach Boys Bucket List: All-Inclusive Adults-Only Resorts and Hotels from Aruba to Kokomo

Want to get away from it all? Inspired by the fictional Kokomo of Beach Boys fame, these Caribbean All-Inclusive Adults-Only Resorts will win your heart.

This winter, the song we can’t get out of our heads is the Beach Boys ode to Kokomo. We’ve taken the track to another level as inspiration for a list of Caribbean all-inclusive adults-only resorts. While Kokomo might croon of a fictional location, the other destinations in the lyrics are an easy escape when you want to go to get away from it all… for a Caribbean vacation.

Aruba All-Inclusive Adults-Only Resort

With a location within walking distance to the entertainment district and plenty of cocktails and moonlit nights at the onsite casino and the PACHA nightclub, you’ll be living the dream alongside heaps of other fun-loving folks. At the center of it all during the day is the massive pool with integrated tables and chairs from which to sip those piña colada care of the swim-up bar.

Jamaica All-Inclusive Adults-Only Resort

1/4

Throw your cares away and fall into step to the rhythm of a steel drum band at the Couples Tower Isle in sunny Jamaica. A stunning white sand beachfront, isolated from other resorts, inches up against this all-inclusive adults-only resort where a private meal on the beach as the sun sets isn’t just the stuff of romantic songs.

The Couples Tower Isle is literally where you should go to get away from it all — that is, if by ‘it all’ you mean your clothes. The cheeky rule at the pool, beach and swim-up bar on the private adjoining island (accessible only by boat) states that clothing is strictly forbidden.

All-Inclusive highlights:

  • Airport transfers
  • Golf green fees
  • Catamaran cruises and glass-bottom boat rides
  • Snorkeling and scuba diving
  • Horseback riding
  • Top-shelf liquors, beer, wine, and rum punch.
  • Meals at six restaurants including Caribbean, Asian fusion, all- vegetarian and the requisite buffet
