Solo Wellness Holidays & Retreats

It depends on the retreat. Some follow a relaxed daily rhythm of classes, treatments and free time, while others are built entirely around a personal programme tailored to your goals. Meals are usually included, and staff at every retreat we work with are well used to welcoming guests travelling on their own.

A large proportion of guests travel solo, and the retreats in the collection are chosen partly because they welcome solo guests well. Whether joining a group retreat or following a private programme, attentive staff and a warm, welcoming atmosphere make it easy to settle in from day one.

Very. Many of our solo guests are women, and the retreats tend to attract a like-minded crowd. Whether you choose a group retreat or a privately tailored programme, women travelling alone consistently tell us they felt safe, welcomed and glad they went.

It varies. Some retreats offer a set daily schedule of classes and treatments, while others build a bespoke programme around your needs. Either way, there is usually room to adjust as you go, whether that means adding a treatment, skipping a session or simply taking an afternoon to yourself.

Many of the fitness holidays for singles in the collection are well suited to guests travelling alone — from group boot camps and outdoor training to individually tailored fitness and movement programmes. Boot Camp Marbella and GI Jane Bootcamp are both consistently popular with solo guests.

Shanti Som in Spain is a favourite for quiet reflection and holistic healing. Azulfit in Fuerteventura suits guests wanting yoga and Pilates in a small, friendly group. Longevity Health and Wellness Hotel in Portugal is well suited to a flexible, self-directed break with strong spa and clinic facilities. And for detox holidays for singles in Europe, Océano Health Spa Hotel in Tenerife and Mas Qi in Spain are both consistently popular with solo guests.

Kamalaya in Thailand is hard to beat for holistic wellness in a beautiful tropical setting. Santani Wellness Resort in Sri Lanka is intimate and nurturing, well suited to emotional healing and quiet retreat. And Somatheeram Ayurveda Village in Kerala offers traditional Ayurveda on the beach at an accessible price point.

Completely up to you. Some retreats are naturally sociable, with shared mealtimes and group activities creating easy opportunities to connect. Others are more private and self-contained. We can help you choose based on whether you are looking for company or solitude.

Yoga retreat holidays for singles are among the most popular requests from solo guests — the group class format creates natural connection without any pressure to socialise outside sessions. Azulfit in Fuerteventura and Tuscan Fitness in Italy are all well suited to solo guests wanting yoga at the centre of the stay. For meditation holidays for singles, Kamalaya in Thailand and Sen Wellness Sanctuary in Sri Lanka both have a strong community feel built around daily meditation practice.

Everything from yoga, meditation and Ayurveda to fitness, detox, spa therapies and emotional healing. Some retreats offer set programmes while others design something bespoke around your goals. If you are not sure what would suit you best, get in touch and we can help narrow it down.

Spring and autumn are lovely for Europe, with warm weather and quieter resorts. For winter sun, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India are at their best between November and March. We are happy to advise on timing for any destination.

No. All of the retreats we feature offer private room options for solo guests. Some properties also offer single occupancy rates or reduced supplements for guests travelling alone. We can advise on the best options when you enquire.
