Family travel doesn’t have to be just about kids; these four hotels around the world allow adults to become kids again through unplugged action adventures; elevated, nostalgia-driven retreats; and 5-star resorts with reimagined summer camp experiences.

Turtle Island Fiji allows for just 14 couples to be on the island at any given time, meaning guests can experience unique, fun, personalized services and more. Each couple has a dedicated personal concierge, also known as a Bure Mama, as well as access to a Dock Man, the island’s activity coordinator who helps arrange daily activities like snorkeling, handline fishing and crab hunting. A list of activities for the day can be found each morning handwritten on the Bula Board. Nights can look like bingo games, karaoke fun, Kava ceremonies, mountaintop dinners and more.

For those looking to spend their days outdoors participating in a variety of land and water activities, look no further than Montage Los Cabos. Guests can relive their childhood summer camp memories while still enjoying the luxury of a high-end resort with private villas. At the core of Montage’s nostalgic-meets-luxury summer camp for adults is Dos Arroyos, a luxury glampground with activities like paintball, archery, mountain biking, axe throwing, watersports, pickleball, s’mores, golf, tequila tastings and more.

Located in the remote corner of Vancouver Island’s UNESCO-designated Clayoquot Sound, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge transforms into a unique summer camp for adults. The lodge features luxury canvas tents and a convivial outpost with a restaurant, bar, rooftop deck and cedar hot tubs. Signature activities include e-biking through ancient rainforests, stand-up paddleboarding on glacial rivers, boulder scrambling and waterfall swims. Additionally, guests can participate in traditional activities like archery, rock climbing, horseback riding, mountain biking and more.

While Great Wolf Lodge is typically known for its kid-friendly activities, parents can now join the fun and reclaim their own sense of adventure at Howlers Peak Ropes Courses, available at select resorts. This aerial jungle gym features 20 challenging obstacles such as tightropes, balance beams and zigzagging bridges. That’s not the only fun for adults; many properties have experiences like Howl in One Mini Golf, Ten Paw bowling alley and adult-sized waterslides.
