Resorts
1. Temptation Cancun Resort
Cancun is a famous holiday and party destination, but Temptation Cancun Resort takes this fun atmosphere one step further. At this chic party hotel, guests can mingle in an open-minded and erotic location.

2. Cap d’Agde
If you’re looking for a European swinging resort, Cap d’Agde should be on your radar.
This is a naturist French holiday village that attracts swingers and nudists worldwide. Not all guests are keen swingers, but the majority are, so you’ll be in great company.
Out of all the swinging hotspots, this is one of the most well-known European resorts. It gets extremely busy in July and August. If you’re interested in this period, you’ll need to book well in advance to save your spot.

Another popular European destination, the Venus Star Resort in the Canary Islands, is a must-visit for swingers. In fact, many consider it the best swinging holiday resort.
So, why is Venus Star Resort so popular? It has a whopping 52 rooms, hot weather all year round, a nudist beach, and a relaxed and erotic atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a winter getaway or a scorching summer swing sesh, this trendy resort could be a match for you.
Cruises
4. Bliss Cruise
Bliss Cruise operates adults-only cruises where you can let your hair down and party without the stresses of daily life.
Bliss Cruise allows nudity on the ship and has dedicated playrooms for when you want to take your new friendships to the next level. Unlike other adult cruise lines, Bliss doesn’t have a mandatory nudity pool or sex in public areas. This might make it a better option for newcomers.
You can find Bliss Cruise in the Caribbean and Europe. Check out the upcoming options here.
5. Desire Cruises
Desire Cruises are another operator that allow you to sail the seas while indulging in your deepest desires.
These cruises tend to be more expensive, but offer more of a luxury experience. The ships aren’t as crowded, there are plenty of erotic shows and workshops to take part in. Like Bliss Cruise, there isn’t any PDA outside of cabins or playrooms. But you can be naked by the pool.
Desire Cruises also provide couples-only cruises. Not ideal if you’re flying solo, but perfect for a romantic swinging experience. See the Desire Cruises options here.
Cities
6. Amsterdam
If you fancy a sensual weekend trip, make a note of Amsterdam. This city is well-known for its relaxed attitude to sex, and unsurprisingly there are plenty of swingers clubs and bars with darkrooms.
7. Paris
Paris (and France in general) has a reputation for being sexually adventurous. If Cap d’Agde isn’t the place for you, head for the capital. Amongst the stunning streets, you can find plenty of clubs and other swingers ready to enjoy a memorable evening.
8. New York
New York is an international city with plenty of open-minded visitors and inhabitants. So, it’s not a shock that this spot is also one of the best places for swingers. Notable clubs to check out include ‘Caligula,’ ‘CheckMate,’ and ‘Chemistry.’
9. Las Vegas
Las Vegas is another location known for hedonism and embracing your wild side. It’s only natural that it’s a hotspot for swingers! Plus, there’s no better way to celebrate a win at the casino than with a little play.
A quick guide to swinging etiquette
Like sex party etiquette, swingers also have an unspoken code of conduct to ensure everyone has a safe and sexy time.
The main pillars of swinging etiquette usually involve:
- General respect
- Safe sex practices
- Clear consent and boundaries
- Responsible drinking (if drinking at all)
- Good hygiene
There may also be party or venue rules depending on where you’re swinging. These could be dress codes or sexual health testing. Sometimes, organised swinging parties might be geared to specific kinks or demographics. Always read the fine print before you arrive to guarantee a more exciting experience.
Consent and swinging
Consent is a critical element of being a swinger. Without enthusiastic, verbal consent, you should never engage in play with another guest.
To keep things simple, remember these three points:
- Consent must always be explicit – For example, a maybe doesn’t mean yes
- Guests can revoke consent at any time. A yes at the start doesn’t mean yes throughout the play
- Consent should be enthusiastic. Don’t push someone for a yes if you don’t sense genuine interest
Swingers clubs and sex parties are built on a foundation of respect and consent. All parties must make a verbal agreement before you turn the heat up.
Consent can absolutely be sexy. It shows everyone is ready to have a good time – don’t skip it!
