Solo Travel - not just for singles
If you are thinking of taking a solo holiday, trust us you’re not alone. Travelling solo is not just for singles and we recommend that everyone try it at least once in their lives.
Choosing a singles holiday can feel overwhelming, with worries about who you’ll meet and whether you’ll get to enjoy the activities you love. However, with over 70% of our guests traveling solo each year with most returning for more, we are confident in our ability to craft the perfect solo travel experience. With 25 years of expertise, we blend the best aspects of solo travel, ensuring you have an unforgettable adventure tailored to your interests.
There are countless reasons why our guests adore singles holidays. While it’s easy to assume that only a specific type of person travels alone, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting individuals from all walks of life. Over the years, many of our guests have formed lifelong friendships on our holidays, making each trip a unique and enriching experience.
Our activity holidays aim to provide the perfect balance of creativity and relaxation. Our accommodation is comfortable and authentic with every guest having their own private bathroom. You will also never be charged a single supplement as we believe in supporting and encouraging solo travel.

Travelling Solo – we will look after you
One of the best ways to enjoy your first solo holiday is to choose a destination where you can meet people who have similar interests as you. This way, you can have the option of socialising or spending time alone, depending on your mood. Travelling solo can be addictive once you experience the freedom and adventure it offers.
That’s why going on special interest holidays with Flavours Holidays is the perfect choice. Whether it’s yoga, cooking, painting, photography, or Pilates, you will find something to cater for your interests and skill levels. The hosts are amazing at making everyone feel welcome and comfortable, and the instructors are experts at teaching and challenging our groups. The group dynamics are always fun and friendly, and they share memorable moments together, building lifelong friendships.
Flavours takes care of everything, from the stunning locations and luxurious accommodation to the delicious food and wine. You don’t have to worry about anything, just relax and enjoy yourself. You can lounge by the pool, read a book, admire the scenery, or explore the surroundings. It’s the perfect balance of activity and leisure. Travelling solo with Flavours will enrich your life and empower you to travel solo on your own terms.
Why No Single Supplement?
We positively encourage people to go it alone! In fact, we made a promise when we opened that we’d never charge a single room supplement, which is perhaps why our painting, Pilates, cooking and language holidays have proved so popular for those looking for singles holidays. The aim is that you can go by yourself but return having made new friends and shared a great time in Italy.
