We know it may come as a shock to some of you, but there are people who would like to go on vacation without hearing the screeching of toddlers, getting hit on the head with carelessly thrown toys, tripping over children everywhere they turn, and having to deal with parents who don’t care to teach their kids to behave like humans rather than barnyard animals. For those people—the ones who want child-free vacations—there’s Tempted.
In July of 2019, French entrepreneur and travel industry expert Mariam Bulin-Diarra launched Tempted worldwide. Tempted is a digital platform that is entirely dedicated to accommodations and entertainment for adults only.
“Tempted is a travel tech startup for adults only, which focuses on child-free vacations in some of the best hotels, resorts, and restaurants at some of the top destinations around the world,” Bulin-Diarra told TravelWires.com. The attractions offered by Tempted include bazooka shooting in Moscow, all-inclusive adult-only resorts in the Caribbean, food and wine tours of Paris, MMA boot camps in Thailand…or even the Ferrari drive test in Italy.
Tempted has already partnered with some of the top travel businesses in the world, including Booking.com, Get Your Guide, Klook, and Orbitz. The Tempted team is also aiming to create partnerships with some of the leading tour operators and companies around the world, including Uber and Airbnb.
“Most of the travel platforms are family-oriented and do not allow to select adult-only tours and activities,” Bulin-Diarra said. “I was inspired to start the company…when I was hosting Airbnb guests from Canada and they didn’t have vacations for 10 years because of their three boys.”
Tempted even has a Pride section, where child-free vacations include activities targeted to the LGBTQ community. “We are also planning to add cannabis tours to our travel catalogue,” Bulin-Diarra said.
Tempted is open to people who want to rent their properties or rooms to child-free travelers, and also to hospitality and travel professionals where they can post their services, just like Airbnb has its Airbnb Experiences service.
Whether you’re a frazzled parent who needs some time away from the kids or simply a person who doesn’t have children and doesn’t want to deal with them while traveling, Tempted offers a variety of child-free vacations. Check them out at temptedyou.com
