Solos Holidays

Solos Holidays: group holidays for solo travellers

Solos Holidays is a British travel agency specialising in organising group holidays for people travelling alone. Its approach is built around small groups, with an average size of fifteen participants, and the absence of a single supplement: each traveller has their own room at no extra cost. The company states it has been working with this type of client for over forty years and presents itself as an experienced operator in the solo traveller segment.

The offer is marketed as holidays exclusively for solo travellers: couples and families are not admitted, so the group shares that same status. The company also offers regional flights on most of its holidays, allowing customers to depart from airports near their place of residence instead of concentrating all departures at a single point.

Solos Holidays' catalogue includes more than 250 holiday options across more than 60 countries. The company organises its holidays by destination and by type, with categories including active trips, walks and treks, golf, tennis, ski, cruises, city breaks, summer and winter sun and beach holidays, UK breaks, discovery trips, Solos Exclusives, Christmas and New Year programmes, and UK balls and events. There is also a specific category of women-only tours.
