What both couples must discuss first
Agree boundaries around nudity, flirting, alcohol, play spaces, separate conversations and how either partner can pause an evening. Neither resort obliges you to participate sexually, but both have an openly sensual lifestyle atmosphere.
Choose the property that makes both of you curious—not the one that requires one partner to be persuaded.
