Why Go on a Singles Holiday?
There are many reasons why someone may choose a singles holiday. For some it is simply that they enjoy the experience of meeting new people and making friends.
Or because of commitments some can only travel at particular times and that these times may not suit the people they usually go on holiday with. Others have always had a partner to travel with but are now single and feel that they want to share their holiday experience with other like minded people.
How many single travellers will be in my group?
Group sizes on singles holidays can vary depending on time of year or destination or holiday provider but between 15 and 30 is usual.
Will everyone in my group be around the same age?
Usually no. Single travellers can really vary in age and most tour operators have found from experience that it is better to keep the age range in each group diverse. This makes things more interesting as you get the chance to mix with people who you otherwise many not choose to in normal daily life. Singles holidays are most popular with people in their mid 30s and 40s. Some dedicated singles holiday providers such as Just You, arrange holidays for specific age groups.
When is the best time to go?
Holidays for singles are popular all year round. July and August are school holidays throughout most of Europe so this is probably the last popular time for single travellers due to the expense and lack of availability. Winter is becoming much more popular particularly Christmas time as is Easter.
Are single holidays dating holidays?
No! This is not the point of singles holidays. They are simply a chance for like-minded people who enjoy to travel to be able to share their holiday experience and make friends.Singles holiday providers are not dating agencys and most of the people booking with them are looking for friendship and not a relationship.
What if this is my first time travelling alone?
Going on your first singles holiday can be daunting at first but you will probably find that many others in your group are feeling the same. It is normal to feel nervous but you will soon relax and have a very enjoyable holiday. Most singles travellers chose to holiday this way again and again. If worry about what to expect is preventing your from trying a singles holiday then Just You offer great Discovery weekends to enable new single travellers to have a taster of a singles holiday. And don’t forget that pre holiday get togethers are usually avaliable to give you a chance to meet some of your group before you go.
How early should I book?
Singles holidays are becoming more popular so we recommend booking at least 8 weeks ahead to avoid disappointment particularly if you know exactly when you want to go or can only travel at particular times. If you can be flexible with dates or destination it may be possible to book last minute depending on availability. However most singles holidays are organised well in advance with a set number of people in mind so once the spaces are full that particular trip will be classed as sold out. Therefore if you have specific dates or a destination in mind it’s best to book as soon as you can.
