Secrets Hideaway Resort & Spa
Secrets Hideaway is Florida's flagship lifestyle resort — a members-only, clothing-optional condo hotel minutes from Orlando's attractions, with daytime pool parties and the on-site Club Secret nightclub running themed events and play spaces. For US couples, it is the most complete domestic lifestyle-resort experience east of the Mississippi.
What it's actually like
Secrets is a converted condo-hotel that has grown into a full lifestyle destination: two large pool courtyards with cabanas and daytime parties, individually-owned themed rooms and suites, and Club Secret — the attached nightclub with DJs, themed party nights, and playrooms operating under house rules for couples and accompanied singles. The energy peaks during group takeover weekends, when traveling lifestyle communities like iCandy, Swing Nation, and Beyond Lifestyle bring hundreds of members and their own event programming.
Expect lifestyle-resort honesty rather than luxury-resort polish: rooms vary because they are individually owned, membership and nightly event fees are charged on top of the room, and the property's character swings noticeably between a quiet Tuesday and a takeover Saturday. The location — on the main Kissimmee strip, 15 minutes from Disney — makes it strangely easy to pair with an entirely vanilla Orlando trip.
Who it suits
US couples who want a true lifestyle environment — club, playrooms, themed events — without leaving the country, and Floridians looking for a recurring weekend venue rather than a once-a-year flight. It is more scene-forward than the Mexican resorts: people come to participate, not just to sunbathe.
What first-timers should know
It is 21+, membership is required (purchasable on-site or online), and event entry is priced separately from lodging. Takeover weekends are the busiest and most social — great if you want energy, overwhelming if you want a gentle first visit; a regular weekend is the softer entry. House rules on consent, photography (banned), and behavior are enforced, and "no" requires no explanation. Couples dominate; single men are admitted only on specific nights and terms.
Best time to go
Florida makes it a year-round venue: winter brings the best pool weather and peak takeover season, summer is hot, humid, and afternoon-stormy but lively indoors at the club. Check the events calendar before booking — the difference between a themed takeover weekend and an open weekend is the single biggest variable in what your visit will feel like.

Common questions
Secrets Hideaway Resort & Spa, answered plainly.
Is Secrets Hideaway clothing-optional?
Yes — pool courtyards and designated areas are clothing-optional within house rules, and the club has its own dress codes by theme night. Florida's legal framework means rules are enforced more formally than at Caribbean resorts.
Do you need a membership to stay at Secrets Hideaway?
Yes. It operates as a private membership club: guests must be 21+, hold a membership, and pay event entry for club nights separately from the room rate.
What are takeover weekends?
Weekends when traveling lifestyle groups — iCandy, Swing Nation, Beyond Lifestyle and others — book out much of the resort and run their own parties. They are the busiest, most social times to visit and usually the first to sell out.
Can single men go to Secrets Hideaway?
Only on specific nights and under specific terms — the resort is couples-centric and single-male admission is limited and priced accordingly. Check current door policy before planning a trip around it.
