Fitness holidays for singles

Our Solo Fitness Holidays

Travelling alone doesn’t mean settling for something that doesn’t quite feel right.

The best fitness holidays for singles are designed so you can arrive on your own and quickly feel at ease. There’s enough structure to make things easy — group training, shared activities, a natural rhythm to the day — but always the space to step back when you want to.

What makes the difference is choosing the right place. Some are naturally sociable, others more independent. Some are built around intensive training, others around a balance of movement, recovery and time to switch off. We have first-hand knowledge of destinations and programmes worldwide and can guide you towards what suits you best.

Our ideas range from our award-winning in:spa retreats, where you’ll train with expert-led groups in beautiful settings, through to hotels with daily classes or dedicated fitness programmes.

The former tends to suit those who enjoy a shared group dynamic, while the latter offers more flexibility and independence, without needing to travel on set dates. Across both, you’ll have excellent fitness options and a setting where travelling solo feels easy, and in some cases, you may find that a different style of holiday, such as padel holidays or more wellness-led longevity retreats, is a better fit.

Please remember, many people on these types of holidays arrive on their own, so you won’t be the only one.

Are fitness holidays good for solo travellers?

Absolutely, as long as the holiday matches your preferences and needs. A well-designed fitness programme gives your day structure without making it feel rigid. Training sessions, classes and shared activities create natural points to connect with others, so you’re not left figuring things out on your own.

Some programmes are more structured, with a set schedule across the week, while others offer more flexibility. You can choose something that suits you, whether you prefer to follow a clear routine or keep things more open.

The key is choosing a holiday that matches how you want the week to feel — more social, more independent, or something in between.

Choosing the right fitness holiday when travelling alone

Not all fitness holidays suit solo travellers in the same way.

Some are built around small group training with a strong social element, where people quickly get to know each other. Others are based within larger resorts, where you might train with a coach but spend more time independently.

The pace matters too. A more intensive programme can feel immersive and focused, while a lighter approach allows for more downtime, spa time or exploring the destination.

This is where we add the most value. We help you choose something that fits how you want to spend your time, and how you want to feel while you’re there.

What to expect

Most fitness holidays for singles follow a similar rhythm. Mornings tend to start actively, whether that’s a training session, a class or time outdoors, followed by a more relaxed pace through the afternoon.

Some guests come primarily for the training, others for the balance it creates across the week. Evenings are usually informal, often shared with others on the same programme, but without anything that feels forced.

It’s this balance that makes them work so well for solo travellers — enough going on to feel part of something, without losing the sense that it’s still your own holiday.

If you’re considering travelling on your own and want to get it right, we’d be happy to talk it through.

We’ll recommend options that match how you want the week to feel, as well as what you want to achieve.

Group retreats

Our in:spa retreats run throughout the year at beautiful, private boutique venues in Tuscany, Southern France and Marrakech. They’re designed to work particularly well if you’re travelling on your own, with a small group dynamic and a clear structure to the week.

Training is taken seriously, with at least two group sessions a day, additional hiking and optional morning runs, alongside a personal training session.

Alongside this, you’ll have a private chef preparing each meal, with yoga, massage and nutritional guidance all part of the programme, creating a week that is both structured and well-supported.

Best hotels for solo travellers for fitness

These are places we’d suggest if you’re travelling on your own. Each offers a slightly different feel, from more sociable settings to those with greater independence, but all are set up in a way that makes it easy to settle in.
