The number of people choosing to take a solo holiday increases every year – and this is certainly a trend we're seeing with our client-base. Specifically we have seen an increase in demand for solo holidays for our clients that are 50 and over.This year we've booked solo holidays to relaxing spa and yoga resorts, a luxury South African wine and safari adventure, and anything in-between!Regardless of your age going it alone can be a truly liberating experience!
We know from the events we host, and from speaking to clients, that self-doubt, and concerns raised by family and friends can deter people from travelling solo, and this is most notable with our clients that are looking to their first solo holiday in their 50’s. But please be reassured you are in safe hands as we have experience planning solo holidays for clients from the age of 21 to 89!

Here’s our top three solo holiday recommendations for over 50s based on firsthand insights and client feedback:
- The Body Holiday St Lucia, this is our number one selling destination for our solo travellers. I love The BodyHoliday there’s just nowhere quite like it. It’s got something for everyone – you can relax and enjoy the sunshine, warm seas and hospitality, or you can get stuck in with the endless list of complimentary activities. It’s a great place to learn new things with expert training, coupled with kindness and patience … I remember standing up on my waterskis for the first time (after many failed attempts) to the clapping and whooping from the water sports crew, genuinely delighted with my small success! I’ve also enjoyed sailing and golf lessons, plus we met fellow guests learning to swim and having their very first snorkelling experience. I was last there in November (2023). Over the last 12 days I walked, cycled, stretched, toned, swam, water skied, snorkelled and danced on the beach (Caribbean style!)… plus I enjoyed fabulous food, drinks and service! And not to forget the included spa treatment each day when I’ve been treated to scrubs, wraps, facials and massages!
- Touring and Adventure Travel – we work with all the major touring companies, and we can find the perfect tour with you. You may decide to join a tour which has a mixed group, or to join a solo’s only tour. Our solo clients have been to Indian, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Japan in 2023.
- Cruise – taking a cruise is a hugely popular choice for our over 50’s solo travellers in particular. Cruise really welcomes solos with dedicated events and hosted dinners, which means that you’re never on your own, unless you want to be, and we can recommend the best ship for you based on your requirements. However, it’s the single supplements that can be quite hefty, however, we’ve found great rates for our clients this year travelling with Silversea and Seabourn.
- Saga Holidays – Saga Holidays are for anyone aged 50 or over however their tours and cruises are a popular choice for our solo travellers.
