Best hotels for singles

Where to go for a singles' jolly

The best part of solo travelling? You make the rules. Whether you fancy a classic beach break, something a bit more long haul (Mexico for one, please), or a simple apartment base where you can throw down a bag and explore for the day - we've got you covered. Ready to sunbathe on your schedule and eat where you want to? These holiday faves are just the place for a bit of you-time.

Lively singles' getaways

Solo travelling doesn't always mean you're going to throw on a backpack and head somewhere rural. Who says you can't still get your groove on? From pool parties and DJ sets to evening entertainment that you can watch front-row or listen to from your balcony - this lively bunch know exactly how to party, no matter the headcount.

Relaxing singles' breaks

So you're jetting off for less party more peace-and-quiet? We got you. Who doesn't love a bit of quality you-time in the sun? From infinity pools and dreamy sundecks to cocktail bars and beaches right on your doorstep - these hotels all have a little something that's best enjoyed all to yourself.

Singles' holidays with the best locations

Whether it's the beach or a bustling town centre - being close to the action is always a bonus on holiday. Less time commuting (save that for the office, thank you), more time exploring. Grab your beach towel, shopping bag or whatever your holiday essentials are, and get yourself to one of these crowd-pleasers.

FAQs

Where's the best place to go for a singles' holiday?

When it comes to solo travelling, the world is your oyster. Or whatever you want it to be, really. That's kind of the point. Spanish hotspots like Majorca and Costa Blanca are great if you're looking for something packed with entertainment and close to the local bar scene, while Greece is perfect for something a little laidback and - dare we say it - luxurious.

Craving something a bit further afield? Mexico's white-sand beaches and tempting food scene is something you won't want to share. Or how about trying Thailand? It's a popular choice for solo travellers thanks to its tropical rainforests, solo-friendly activities and famous beach parties.

What can I do on a singles' holiday?

The short answer? Whatever you want! That's the perk of travelling solo. You can live to your schedule and do the things that you want to do. Why not book some excursions if you fancy getting out and about but don't know where to start (you might even meet some fellow singles), or do some research into the local area and give one of the local restaurants a try. Or? Just stay at the hotel! There's nothing wrong with enjoying some quiet time by the pool, and we're not one to shy away from a beach day.

What board basis should I book for a singles' holiday?

Most hotels cater for solo travellers, which means you'll have the pick of the bunch when it comes to board bases. If you're jetting off to explore the sights and get out and about, we recommend a half board or bed and breakfast board basis - perfect for getting some fuel before your day, and then making the most of the local bars and restaurants during your travels. Prefer something a bit lower-maintenance? All inclusive is the way to go. You'll have all your meals, drinks and - in most cases - entertainment, taken care of. You'll barely need to lift a finger! Talk about ideal.

What's the best way to meet people on a singles' holiday?

Signing up for tours and excursions is a great way to meet people on holiday - whether you end up meeting couples, families or other solo travellers, a group outing is always a great ice-breaker. Or...just have a chat! Instead of drinking alone on your balcony, hang out at the hotel bar or grab a seat to watch the entertainment, and you might be surprised at just how easy it is to strike up a conversation.

What are the benefits of travelling alone?

Travelling alone means you can explore the destination that you choose at your pace. Simple! If you're eager to get away but you're not sure who to go with, why not take yourself on holiday? You can set your own schedule, explore as much or little as you want to and it's a great way to build confidence and become comfortable in your own company. You might even meet a few likeminded travellers along the way!
