Did you know that according to a Squaremouth study, 42% of travelers this year were planning on taking a trip all on their own in 2024? Now with the year over halfway over and fall just around the corner, destinations and resorts around the world are putting out a call to those solo travelers who may have already taken a trip or two alone this year, but also to those who may still be trying to find the perfect independent escape or those who might just need some solo peaceful “me” time after a busy summer and before the hectic holiday season. These deals, retreats and promotions are specifically designed to toast the empowering (and growing!) art of traveling alone through a month-long celebration throughout September! From self-reflection wellness retreats in Florida and solo traveler workshops and events at the foothills of El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico to a week-long adventure discovering the untamed magic of the Galapagos, these vacations are the perfect way to treat yourself or challenge yourself to take on Solo September.
Ecoventura
A call to the independent traveler who is looking for that once-in-a-lifetime escape, Ecoventura invites adventurers to discover the serene and untamed Galapagos Islands, offering a soul-searching and thrill-filled getaway that can be especially profound for those who venture it alone. The destination that made Charles Darwin contemplate our existence and lead to the creation of his Theory of Evolution and Origin of Species continues to amaze and strike an existentialist cord within all those who visit. This September, solos can board one of the brand’s intimate and luxurious mega-yacht sails for an extremely special rate, making this adventure of a lifetime more accessible than ever, with up to $6,050 in savings on single cabins over select departure dates!

For those looking to dip their toes in the world of solo travel without having to use their passport, Key Largo’s Playa Largo Resort & Spa is inviting novice and expert travelers alike to participate in their ReFLEXIONS retreat — a wellness-focused getaway that allows you to work on the most important relationship of all: yourself. This luxury beachside oasis sets the stage for the journey towards self-enrichment with holistic healing sessions covering personal development and mindfulness practices, sunrise manatee meditation and yoga, classes at the Ocean Spa that touch on the secrets of skincare botanicals, nightly intention-setting ceremonies, organic dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, and more. From September 13-15, indulge in the ultimate act of self-care by dedicating time to revitalizing and transforming your mind, body, and soul.
