Single adventurers

Thrill seekers! This is for you as there’s nothing quite like a pristine wilderness, arid deserts or hidden ruins. New Zealand is without a doubt an uncrowded tourist destination where hiking trails and adventure activities such as canyoning and high jumps are the main attraction.

True explorers will want to take in all things history as well as understand more about ancient civilisations by following in their footsteps. You can’t really beat a trip to Machu Picchu, Peru, Angkor, or even Cambodia. These locations are perfect for intrepid explorers.

Sporty singles

Single and love sport? We think Mallorca provides the perfect balance between leisure and sports. It’s undoubtedly one of the most beautiful spots in Spain. This island was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and provides incredible landscapes but most importantly, it has lots to do. You can find great activities there such as kayaking, coasteering, snorkelling and many other fun activities.

Challenging yourself to surf the giant waves of Nazaré or Lanzarote is also a good way to enjoy a great holiday whilst being able to keep up with some great sporting habits. These locations that form part of the Canary Islands, are perfect for diving or hiking. The options are endless!

Culture loving singles

Many destinations scream culture, but we’ve decided to go for what we consider to be a real traveller’s delight. We suggest you try out Florence, Amsterdam and Vienna. The museums, art galleries and historic buildings in these European destinations make them the ideal place to visit if you’re travelling alone and looking to soak up some rich historical culture. You won’t be bored! Another perk is that during your trip you’ll have the opportunity to meet other independent like-minded travellers.

City slicker singles

This is a calling to all City loving singles! Plan a getaway to the cosmopolitan, evolving and vibrant city of London. If there’s one thing we know about cities, it’s that London has it all. Parks such as (Hyde Park or Regent’s Park), museums like (the British Museum or the National Gallery), attractions like (the London Eye), markets in (Camden Town) and many more entertaining locations and activities to make your trip worthwhile. Whether you’re travelling alone or with a group of friends, we can assure you that you’ll never run out of things to do.

Nature-loving singles

Sometimes losing ourselves in nature is the best remedy, it also allows us a small escape from reality. Make sure you take a look at this list of places we have come up with because we strongly believe they are some of the best destinations for singles looking to alleviate some of that daily routine stress. If you’re looking to try Spain? Discover Tenerife and its wide variety of routes that can take you to the most spectacular locations such as Mount Teide, a location that will leave you speechless. Or why not try Iceland, the perfect place for you: volcanoes, waterfalls, aurora borealis and dreamy natural landscapes. We couldn’t leave out Costa Rica. A paradise of tropical rainforests and Caribbean coastlines. Tough choice, isn’t it?

Beaching loving singles

The Riviera Maya is the perfect destination for singles looking to spread out their towel on the sand and soak up the sun for hours while gazing at the most beautiful sea filled views. Is that your kind of plan? Then the Riviera Maya’s paradisiacal white sandy beaches and warm waters, make this the perfect place for you. You can also indulge in its amazing archaeological sites. Don’t miss this stunning location!

Spiritual singles

Disconnect and tune in to your spiritual side with a trip to India. This country is one of the best destinations for singles looking to meditate and reconnect with themselves. However, you need to know how to properly choose the cities you wish to visit. Jaipur and Varanasi are perfect for immersing yourself in the origins of Hinduism and meditation.

Single Foodies

Do you consider yourself to be a full-fledged foodie? Look no further because we have some of the best destinations for food-loving singles. We can’t start without some delicious Italian cuisine, one of the most highly rated in the world. Naples stands out as a prime destination: the birthplace of the Neapolitan pizza could not be missed. Fresh pasta, mozzarella, cold meats, typical sweets… Everything you can imagine!

If your looking to take your food experience outside Europe, Bangkok and Tokyo are the capitals of Asian national cuisine. Indulge in ramen, sushi and more heavenly dishes that will blow your mind.

Party-loving singles

Whether you’re travelling alone or in a group, Ibiza is most definitely a synonym for the word party! The island has always been a hub for trendy nightclubs, boat parties and blissful landscapes. Prepare to let your hair down and experience the time of your life.

Another party fuelled location is Malta. Malta’s reputation as a party destination started with summer English language courses, and it’s still going strong. This island is full of bars, beach clubs and nightclubs where well-known DJs such as Martin Garrix and Steve Aoki play.

Film loving singles

Travelling alone is in fashion, so we shouldn’t rule out cities that can be regarded as ‘romantic’. Take Paris for example. If you love films or series, the City of Light will dazzle you with its charm and its stylish neighbourhoods. It’s nearly impossible not to recognise famous spots in this city thanks to the wide range of classic films which have been filmed here, such as Moulin Rouge or Amélie, or current series such as Emily in Paris or Lupin.

We can’t forget New York, of course, the big Apple is by far one of the most special cities on earth. The wide avenues of Manhattan and the neon lights of Times Square will have you feeling like Carrie from ‘Sex and the City’ or even Rachel from ‘Friends’. There are even guided tours to take you even deeper into this cinematic city.
