Best solo travel destinations

Vacationing solo can be a lifechanging experience with plenty of opportunities to grow as a person, learn about new cultures and look at the world from a different perspective without distractions. It can be overwhelming to hop on a plane by yourself to then explore a new destination but with proper planning and a little inspiration, you can set those nerves aside and get excited for the possibilities! If you’re looking to carve your own path through paradise, here are some of the best places to travel solo and our top picks of must-see attractions in each locale you can visit.

La Romana

The third-largest city in the Dominican Republic, La Romana is a bumpin’ tourist destination and a great (and safe) spot for solo vacations. Lone wolves can discover fascinating history, culture and the Caribbean’s signature sun and sand on adventures through NexusTours, or see its beauty up close and in style from one of the many all inclusive resorts in the area, such as Dreams Dominicus La Romana, a family favourite, and the A-list approved Casa De Campo Resort and Villas with some of the best golfing on site.
