Many solo travellers find the best way to enjoy a holiday is to join a small group of like-minded adults seeking the same experience…
The Healthy Holiday Company recommends its own group holidays for yoga and health and fitness retreats – Destination Yoga and in:spa (see below). More and more hotels are bringing out their own retreat concepts on set dates, so you can be sure of company too if you pick one of those. We have a lot of ideas! These are all orientated towards those choosing to travel alone and at least half the guests in the group will be travelling on their own. This helps ensure that everyone feels immediately relaxed and comfortable on arrival and leads to many new friendships being formed.
Join an energising and rejuvenating in:spa retreat in Marrakech, South of France or Tuscany and we promise that you will return home looking a feeling amazing. in:spa has been hosting its unique and highly successful retreats for 10 years. A 7 night in:spa retreat will transform your physical and mental wellbeing through its proven programme of a gourmet detox diet, exercise, yoga and relaxation. in:spa fly out experts from London for each retreat – a winning team combination of personal trainers, yoga teacher, nutritionist, specialist chef, massage therapist and retreat host – to motivate, educate and care for guests in a highly personalised way.
Destination Yoga hosts yoga retreats each year at a selection of gorgeous venues. The teachers are all very experienced, highly regarded and skilled at looking after all guests, whatever their age or experience. There are energising yoga classes each morning and restorative yoga classes every evening, with plenty of time during the day for guests to relax beside the swimming pool or explore the local countryside. Guests vary in age from 25 to 75, but everyone is there to either discover the joys of yoga or to develop their practice further.
An in:spa retreat will inspire you, energise your body, invigorate your senses, detoxify your system, normalise your body weight and calm your mind – in essence, revive and restore a sense of total physical and mental wellness. Guests typically vary in age between 30 to 65. Many will never have tried yoga before, but everyone is interested in restoring some balance in their life and returning home full of energy and a deep sense of calm and wellbeing. Weight loss, if wanted, can be significant. See also inspa-retreats.com
Finally, you could stay very comfortably as a solo traveller at a number of the superb boutique wellness hotels we know and recommend, such as Shanti Som and Euphoria and many hotels now organise their own set date retreats where you can join other like-minded guests at the same time.
