Top Friendly Solo Retreats

Travelling solo is a wonderful way to focus on yourself and your own wellbeing. It also helps to have the option to connect with like-minded people, whether that’s over shared meals or group activities. In this post, we’ve selected our top friendly solo retreats, where you can enjoy your own space while still having opportunities to socialise.

Yoga and Hiking Retreat, Greece

This retreat offers more than just fitness, giving you the chance to experience the real Greece away from the crowds, with a focus on local culture and history. You’ll stay in a charming villa by the sea, close to the countryside where daily guided hikes take place.

There’s a good balance of activities, including morning yoga and optional personal training in the afternoons, but everything is flexible – so you can just as easily spend time by the pool or take things at your own pace. Experiences such as visiting an organic farm and dining at a traditional fish taverna are included.

With a maximum of 10 guests, it feels intimate, with enough space to unwind while still offering the chance to connect with like-minded travellers.

Solo travellers are particularly well looked after at BodyHoliday, making it a natural choice if you’re travelling alone but still want a sociable atmosphere. There’s a communal dining table for those who want to meet others, along with plenty of group classes and activities that make it easy to connect. September is especially popular, with a dedicated ‘Solos Month’ featuring hosted events from group dinners to sunset cruises. Meals, drinks, activities, classes and even a daily 50-minute spa treatment are all included.

With around 20 classes a day, plus watersports and excursions, there’s plenty to keep you busy, while dining remains flexible, with both healthy options and more indulgent choices available.

Shanti-Som, Spain

Shanti-Som Wellbeing Retreat is a boutique 14-bedroom retreat set in the mountainous Sierra de las Nieves Nature Park, just 20 minutes from Marbella. This Asian-inspired hideaway is designed with calm in mind, following Feng Shui principles and surrounded by gardens, waterfalls and streams.

It’s particularly well suited to solo travellers, with its small size making it easy to connect with others – whether that’s by the pool, over dinner or during group classes. A digital detox is encouraged, with no Wi-Fi in the rooms and limited phone use, helping you properly switch off.

There’s a wide choice of programmes, including weight loss, fitness, yoga, meditation, detox, Pilates and personal transformation. Dining follows an Asian-inspired approach using fresh, local ingredients, with meal plans tailored to your programme, from detox and weight loss to healthier or more flexible options.
