A serene 3-day Solo Travel Escape itinerary
This sample plan balances rest, gentle activity, and culinary pleasure. Adjust the pacing to match your energy each day.
Day 1: Arrival, unhurried beach time, and oceanfront dining
- Arrive with ease: Arrange an airport transfer in advance (available for a surcharge when coordinated prior to arrival). Settle into your Suite or Oceanfront Bungalow; many accommodations include private pools for instant tranquility.
- Blue Flag beach exhale: Head to the Beach Club to stretch out by the sea or at the ocean-view infinity pool. Bring a book, breathe the salt air, and let travel fade.
- Your first included breakfast: If you arrive early, enjoy an unhurried breakfast the next morning—no alarms needed.
- Dinner with a sea breeze: Choose La Palapa for oceanfront ambiance and a menu spanning Italian, Sushi, and Grill/BBQ favorites. It’s an easy, feel-good first night that sets the tone for the days ahead.
Day 2: Wellness, discovery, and Mediterranean flavors
- Ease into the day: After your included breakfast, carve out quiet time—journal on your terrace or walk the shoreline at sunrise.
- Signature experience: Coordinate with the team to tailor your included signature experience. Solo-friendly options at the resort include horseback riding and other curated activities; golfers can plan a round nearby at Punta Espada.
- Your included spa ritual at Solaya Spa: Restore body and mind with a soothing ritual. Arrive early or linger afterward to enjoy the spa’s outdoor treatment areas, sauna, hot tub, and Turkish bath—a complete reset.
- Dinner at Mediterraneo: Savor refined Mediterranean cuisine. It’s an elegant, unrushed setting—perfect for a contemplative solo meal. (Resort‑elegant attire is requested.)
- Nightcap at Riva Bar: If you’re in the mood, end the evening with a quiet drink in a classic lounge atmosphere. (Resort‑elegant attire applies here as well.)
Day 3: Reflection, light movement, and Nikkei-inspired notes
- Mindful morning: After breakfast, choose a gentle activity: a swim, time at one of the resort’s two swimming pools, tennis, or a light workout in the fitness centre.
- Lunch at BLUE Grill & Bar: Enjoy an easygoing midday break. The menu includes Nikkei-themed creations, pizza, and international plates, with kosher and gluten-free options available.
- Unplugged afternoon: Alternate between shade and sun on the private beach. Keep the rest of the day open for what you need most—reading, napping, or a final spa circuit.
- Closing dinner—your way: Return to your favorite venue or try a new one. Or, keep it simple with an early night and one last moonlit beach walk.
