Sun, Sand & Solo Travel
It may take two to tango, but solo travel is the way to go! You might usually picture honeymooning couples and smiling families jetting off on dreamy all-inclusive vacations, but thanks to solo travel packages, the tides are turning in favour of vacationers looking for sunny escapes of their own making. Aside from being the only star in your envy-inducing beach pictures, here’s what we love about going solo under the sun.
Beach? Pool? Wherever!
Forget lengthy arguments about where you should spend the day - you’re the boss of this vacay. Whether you prefer lounging by the pool or catching waves on the beach, your main dilemma will be choosing which book or magazine to bring with you. The best part? No one will be checking their watch and taking you away from your towel to eat or sleep when you travel alone. This trip’s ticking away on your time!
Choose your own adventure
Although we’re just fine with lying about in the sun all day, one of the joys of solo travel is being able to get up and go when you choose to. Many all-inclusive resorts offer tons of activities to keep you busy from sun-up to sun-down. You can discover the wonders waiting for you under the sea – you're bound to spot colourful coral and unique marine life. If you’re more comfortable on land, your resort can help you plan trips to nearby attractions.
Plus, many resorts offer activities for thrill seekers of all ages. Look out for opportunities such as tours for seniors travelling alone, travel groups for singles, cruises for singles and accessibility services wherever you choose to stay.
Pamper yourself
Sometimes, a solo trip is the best way to completely unwind. It pulls you away from your day-to-day and lets you focus on you. Why not take this time to really treat yourself? We’re thinking total spa treatment in a tropical location. Yes, please!
From seaweed wraps to Swedish massages, you can pick from spa packages that include facials, full-body treatments and so much more. A serene setting will have you flying home completely rejuvenated.
What's next
If you’ve set your sights on vacation at one of our best solo travel destinations, make sure to keep an eye out for all-inclusive resorts that offer special discounts or don’t charge a single supplement. What’s a single supplement, you ask? It’s a fee charged by many hotels to solo travellers booking a room alone. The resorts below waive this fee, based on season and availability. Be sure to check for ‘Single Promo’ or ‘No single supplement’ in the room name or description while booking.
