Indonesia Hotels
Thanks to its idyllic landscapes, spiritual sites and variety of singles hotels, Indonesia is one of the best destinations for a 1- or 2-week solo trip. In Bali, stretch out with yoga classes at sunrise in Ubud before joining fellow travellers for elevenses at a beachside café in Canggu. This popular island boasts a plethora of hotels for solo travel, from upscale resorts in Seminyak to budget-friendly stays in Uluwatu. It's not just Bali, either. Seek solitude at the ancient temples of Borobudur, join a street food tour around Yogyakarta or sail around the Gili Islands.
Florence Hotels
Florence's walkable historic centre, safe streets and short flight time from the UK make this timeless Italian city a contender for the best solo holiday destinations for weekend getaways. Book a singles hotel in the Duomo and you'll have some of the best things to do on your doorstep, from viewing Renaissance masterpieces by Da Vinci in the Uffizi Gallery to exploring the extraordinary Piazza del Duomo. Solo trips in Florence don't mean being alone the whole time, either. Hang out with like-minded adventurers on a walking tour around Oltrarno or roll your sleeves up for a local cooking class.
London Hotels
When it comes to single holidays on your doorstep, few places compete with London. The capital is just a train ride away from most major cities and towns and boasts a huge selection of hotels for singles, making it ideal for a weekend away. The world-class transport system means zipping around town is a breeze, while free entry to many museums, like the Natural History Museum, lets you pack your itinerary with exciting things to do on a budget. Then there's the social side. Look out for meet-up events, join group tours or simply linger over coffee or a pint and chat with those around you—you'll find people from all corners of the globe in London.
Cancun Hotels
If you're seeking solo holidays that blend culture, adventure and beach, Cancun has to be at the top of your list. As one of Mexico's most popular spots, you'll find a huge array of singles hotels that suit all budgets and a plethora of exciting things to do. Hanging out by the pool and joining excursions to attractions like Chichen Itza is a great way to meet other solo explorers. If it's cultural exchanges you're seeking, consider cooking classes and Spanish lessons. When "me time" is calling, take a solo stroll along the beach or visit the crumbling Mayan ruins of Tulum. Direct flights from the UK make it ideal for a 1 or 2-week getaway.
The Caribbean
From dancing salsa with locals in Santo Domingo to scuba diving around coral reefs off the shores of Jamaica, the Caribbean is a popular choice for exotic solo holidays. There are direct flights from the UK to many of the region's most popular islands, so a one-week stay is enough to unwind. Consider staying longer, though, if you want to explore more islands—or just need more time in the sun. As English is widely spoken, you'll have no barriers when it comes to mingling, either with islanders or fellow solo holidaymakers. Make friends on tours around historic cities like San Juan or bond with like-minded adventure seekers with surfing classes in Costa Rica.
FAQ
What is the best holiday for a single person?
The best holiday for a single person depends on the experience they're after. City destinations, like Amsterdam or Tokyo, may be best if you're keen on culture and nightlife, while coastal spots like Phuket and Bali promise social settings in natural surroundings and picturesque beach hotels for solo travellers. If you plan to travel with your four-legged friend, domestic holidays within the UK are often a popular choice thanks to the ease of getting around and the wide choice of pet-friendly hotels available.
How old do you have to be to stay in a hotel alone in the UK?
You typically need to be 18 years of age to stay in a hotel alone in the UK, while family-friendly hotels allow under 18s to stay when accompanied by an adult. Policies vary by hotel, though. Fortunately, on Hotels.com, you'll find all this information clearly displayed before booking.
