Solo Travellers in the Caribbean
The islands of the Caribbean offer a vast range of unique experiences. The locals are welcoming and friendly, the history rich and immersive, and the beaches unlike any others in the world. Some resorts are especially excellent for solo travellers, with guests eager to share stories and a drink or two, and service keen to make you feel as welcome as possible.
BodyHoliday in St Lucia offers more than most all-inclusive holidays, located within 32 acres of tropical gardens beside Cariblue Beach on the northwest tip of the island. It promises a unique lifestyle experience with a focus on wellness, health and fitness. The mantra of “give us your body for a week and we’ll give you back your mind” underpins the resort’s offering of a fully packed schedule of activities combined with a daily spa treatment. You can choose to be as active or as relaxed as you please, particularly with the beach and Caribbean Sea temptingly set out before you.
Guests at BodyHoliday can enjoy a wealth of inclusive land and water sports such as archery, golf lessons, fencing, rock climbing, scuba diving, sailing and kayaking, as well as classes including yoga, fitness, dance and aerobics. Leisure facilities also include floodlit tennis courts, three freshwater pools, a spin studio, archery range, sailing club, meditation temple, gym and wellness centre.

East Winds in St Lucia is a premium all-inclusive resort on La Brelotte Bay, set in twelve acres of tropical gardens abundant with colourful plants and exotic birds. The unique property is perfect for those looking to completely unwind in an elegant and informal retreat, with outstanding food and an excellent list of activities.
Dining at East Winds is exceptional with a focus on good quality ingredients – local produce is used wherever possible, from freshly caught fish to vegetables grown by local farmers. All meals are served at the beachfront restaurant, The Flamboyant Room – breakfast is buffet-style and a buffet lunch includes plenty of Caribbean dishes while dinner is a four-course menu six nights per week including international and Caribbean dishes. One of the lovely things about staying at East Winds is the warm and friendly atmosphere, with solo travellers made to feel like part of the family. As a solo traveller, other guests will often invite you to join them for dinner. With an atmosphere like this, it is easy to see why so many guests return year after year.
Solo Travellers in the Maldives
Often the Maldives are seen as a romantic destination. But we think there’s no better place to holiday for solo guests on the hunt for tranquillity, peace of mind, and ocean vistas that take your breath away. It can be quiet and secluded, indulgent and luxurious, and a chance to reconnect with yourself. No matter what you’re looking for, you’re sure to find your slice of paradise somewhere in this stunning archipelago.
Reethi Beach Resort in the Maldives is casual yet elegant and offers friendly service, excellent cuisine and a relaxing atmosphere. Located on a tiny island just 35 minutes by seaplane from Male, the resort provides high levels of comfort in a stunning setting.
The wonderful house reef is under 100 metres from the island and provides the perfect opportunity for some underwater exploring. Reethi Beach’s Ocean Fanatics dive school is a PADI 5 star centre and arranges trips to nearby dive sites in the Baa Atoll, where you could see a host of beautiful and exotic sea life, such as manta rays and whale sharks. Dive sessions are available at various hours during the day, for the opportunity to swim with marine life during their most active times. If on the other hand you are seeking
relaxation, why not indulge in some time at Coconut Spa, where Balinese therapists combine pampering treatments with holistic healing.
Solo Travellers in Mauritius
Mauritius is an Indian Ocean paradise known for its pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Moving inland from the coastline, the mountainous interiors of the island offer stunning scenery, hiking trails, waterfalls and rainforests teaming with wildlife. Solo travellers will have plenty to explore across the island and a unique local culture to experience.
SALT of Palmar is a truly unique, boutique hotel set on the East Coast of Mauritius. With a strong emphasis on all things local, this adult’s only retreat is ideally suited to travellers looking to engage with the traditions, stories and flavours of this beautiful island. The resort is the first in Mauritius to become a member of Design Hotels™, celebrating its hospitality, sense of community, low carbon concept and environmental efforts.
SALT of Palmar offers unique experiences and activities. Guests have the opportunity to connect directly with locals via a Skill Swap, where they can share their talents with a local professional, or learn a new skill from a passionate local, such as painting, basket weaving or soap making. Another highlight of the hotel is their innovative spa, where guests can choose their treatment duration and customise a treatment with their therapist based on their individual requirements. Each treatment is rounded off by a session in the Salt Room, where guests are invited to relax and breath in the Himalayan salt vapours to help boost immune system and energy levels.
