Travelling solo doesn’t have to mean being on your own. In fact, more and more people are choosing to head off on adventures without waiting for someone to go with — and discovering just how rewarding it can be. But here’s the thing: solo travel doesn’t have to be solitary.
That’s where group holidays come in. At Spice Escapes, we’ve seen countless guests arrive as solo travellers and leave with new friends, shared memories, and a calendar already filling up with future trips.
So why does group travel work so well for solo adventurers?
You’re Part of Something From the Start
That first day of a solo trip can feel a bit daunting — but not when you’re with a group. From the moment you arrive, you’re part of a friendly, welcoming bunch of people who are all here for the same reason: to explore, relax, and enjoy good company. You’ll never have to eat alone (unless you want to), and there’s always someone to share a laugh or join you on an outing.
No Stress, No Planning Headaches
Sorting out travel plans on your own can be a hassle — researching hotels, booking excursions, figuring out transport. On a group holiday, all of that is taken care of. The itinerary, the logistics, the details — it’s all been handled for you. All you need to do is pack your suitcase and turn up ready to enjoy yourself.
Shared Experiences = Lasting Memories
Some travel moments are even better when shared. Watching the sunset over the sea, discovering a hidden café down a quiet street, or trying a dish you’ve never heard of — those little experiences come to life when you’ve got someone beside you to enjoy them with. Group travel turns great moments into lasting stories.
You’ll Feel Safe and Supported
Travelling with a group brings a real sense of security — especially in places you’ve never been before. You’ve got experienced hosts who know the area and can guide you along the way, and fellow travellers who look out for one another. It’s a supportive environment that helps you feel more relaxed and confident.
You Might Just Surprise Yourself
One of the best parts of group travel is how it encourages you to try something new. Whether it’s joining a yoga class, sampling local cuisine, or simply striking up a conversation with someone from a different background, you’ll come away with fresh perspectives — and maybe even a new sense of adventure.
Thinking of Travelling Solo?
If you’ve been considering a solo trip, but aren’t sure where to start — a group holiday could be just the thing. You’ll get the freedom of travelling independently, with all the fun, friendship, and ease of going with a group.
