The Benefits of Solo Wellness Travel

There are health benefits of both travelling, and spending time alone. So, combining these is a match made in heaven. After all, sometimes there isn’t anything better than escaping your normal life for a bit. People of all ages are embracing the benefits that solo traveling has to offer and single wellness holidays present the perfect opportunity to prioritise your personal wellbeing.

There is a diverse range of luxury retreats on offer to solo-travellers, many of which are specialised to improve specific areas of your health including mental resilience, sleep, immune system response, and ageing. Here are our five top benefits of solo wellness travel:

  1. Spotlight on you - When you travel for a wellness holiday on your own, you are able to truly focus on your own needs. You don’t have to worry about others and there is no more perfect a time to do this than on a holiday to improve your mental and physical wellbeing. This can be especially enjoyable if you are the primary caregiver at home and this is an opportunity to be taken care of instead.

  2. Safe harbour - Dedicated wellness retreats provide a safe haven for solo travellers and they are packed full of activities and treatments so you’ll never be bored.

  3. Step outside of your comfort zone - When you are traveling alone to a wellness retreat you are much more likely to try new therapies, treatments or activities without fear of judgement, after all you don’t ever have to see the other guests again if you don’t want to so why not just give it a shot, you might find something you love to do.

  4. Do what you enjoy - Travelling with another person or as part of a group involves a lot of give and take, when you travel solo you can go where you want. Do as much or as little as you like and aim to reach your own goals. There doesn’t have to be comprise and you can have the holiday you really want.

  5. Meet other like-minded travellers - Sometimes our friends and loved ones don’t share the same interests as us, by traveling solo on a healthy holiday we have the opportunity to meet others with whom we share these interests and life long friendships can be made.

Travelling alone is a journey of self-discovery, you have to make your own decisions, and take stock of exactly how you are feeling at a given moment. This means that while you’re travelling alone, you’ll learn more about yourself; about what things you feel comfortable doing and what things don’t, as well as what things you really find yourself wanting to do when the decision is completely up to you.
