The travel industry offers more and more options and possibilities. Hotels for adults only, trips for singles or singles looking for a partner, theme hotels, etc. One of the least known options for being its minority target audience is that of swinger vacations. What does this mean? ‘Swinger’ is an Anglo-Saxon term to designate people who are open to the possibility of partner exchanges.
Swinger holidays, therefore, are trips for adult couples without children, in which a very liberal atmosphere reigns sexually speaking. These couples can enjoy their trip in private, without interacting with other couples, but the truth is that most of those who come decide to interact with other travelers on an erotic level.
Adult hotels vs swinger hotels
A few years ago, adults-only hotels also began to become fashionable, but it is important to know that these are common establishments in which the only peculiarity is that children are not allowed to enter in order to ensure calm and relaxation reign. Swinger hotels or hotels for liberal couples, however, go further and not only do they not allow minors to enter, but they are usually nudist and provide an erotic environment 24 hours a day.
The origin of the swinger world
Couple swapping became popular in the United States in the 1970s among those who wanted to have relationships with other people without losing their partner. Statistics reveal that swingers are married people, over 30 years of age, without children and living in large cities.
Swingers are generally established couples who, at a certain stage in their lives –usually at 40 or 50 years of age- decide to exchange sexual experiences with other couples. Now that the swinger environment is spreading, it is also reaching a younger audience, as shown by the data from ‘Desire Hotels’, a group specializing in this type of vacation that has registered an increase in European clients, with those from United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain the most active.
Swinger hotels in the world
Although nudism and swingers are still taboo, the truth is that specialized swinger travel agencies and hotels for liberal couples are proliferating more and more. If you want to experience a swinger trip on the other side of the pond, the ‘Desire Resorts’ group has three hotels & spas located in Mexico: ‘Desire Los Cabos’ (on the Pacific coast of San José Los Cabos), ‘Desire Pearl’ (in Puerto Morelo) and ‘Desire Riviera Maya’ (in Cancun). You can also opt for the ‘Hedonism 2 Resort’ in Jamaica or the ‘Chihuahua Resort’ in Uruguay.
There are also other options closer by such as the ‘Spice Lifestyle Lanzarote’, in the Canary Islands, which offers a “fun, erotic and friendly atmosphere; a paradise for naturists, libertines and curious couples looking for a romantic holiday”. You dare?
