Nothing on these is compulsory

There is no coach at eight and no itinerary to keep up with. The host is there, the group eats together if it wants to, and an afternoon on your own with a book is a perfectly ordinary way to spend it rather than something to apologise for at dinner. A week in Malta, a week on the Croatian coast, an all-inclusive week in Fuerteventura, a reading-and-resting week in Spain’s green north, and a fortnight in the Maldives. Seven nights on most of them. Meals are largely handled, though not identically. Fuerteventura is all-inclusive: food and drinks at the resort. Croatia is half board. The Spanish week is full board with the local wine, beer and spirits left out for you to help yourself. Malta is breakfast every day and dinner on four nights. Each holiday lists its own, because ‘included’ covers a different amount at each of them. Most of these are graded gentle, which is this site’s plainest way of saying that nothing is asked of you. Sharing a twin with another solo traveller of the same sex costs nothing on top of the price shown.

Worth reading first

Where these go

Every country here has a page of its own, with what the place is actually like and everything else we run there.

The hosts who travel with them

A named host goes on every departure and stays with the group the whole way, not just the transfer. These are the ones on the holidays above.

Sharing, or a room of your own

The price on every holiday buys a place in a twin room shared with another solo traveller of the same sex, and sharing costs nothing on top. A room to yourself carries a supplement, published on the holiday’s own page wherever one is available.
