Are lifestyle resorts couples-only?

It depends on the resort. Hedonism II in Jamaica accepts singles and couples. Desire Resorts in Mexico is couples-only. Most resort weekends organised by lifestyle groups are couples-only unless specifically stated otherwise. Check the specific resort or event listing for their current policy.

Lifestyle resort policies vary significantly. Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica, is open to couples and singles alike. Desire Resort and Spa in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, is strictly couples-only — no single guests of any gender.

The couples-only model exists primarily to manage the same gender imbalance that lifestyle clubs contend with: if a venue accepts single men freely, the attendee mix shifts in ways that change the atmosphere for couples. Couples-only resorts solve this structurally.

Organised lifestyle travel groups that book resort weekends or hotel takeovers often layer their own entry requirements on top of the resort's policy. A group organiser who books Hedonism may specify that their group segment is couples-only even though the resort itself accepts singles.

Bare Getaways is planned as JoinTheSwing's travel arm for resort bookings and lifestyle travel. Whichever agency or resort you use, check whether its packages state that singles are welcome, what the couple verification requirements are, and what the social format of the trip looks like.

For researching specific destinations, use the public destinations and travel guides to research resort options; member trip planning is planned for launch.

Digital membership purchases take place in the iOS and Android apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing. Member identity verification runs through an automated government ID, biometric face-match and liveness check by Veriff: from the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing never receives or stores the images — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private verification-document storage, deleted when the account is deleted.
