In 2017 Solo Travel was flagged as the next top travel trend with 40% of the Solo Traveller World survey embarking on an independent adventure last year. LateRooms.com state that between April 2017 and April 2018, they witnessed their share of solo travellers increase by 14 per cent, and the numbers continue to rise.
Barbados just happens to be the perfect escape with sunny weather all year round and a relaxed approach to life, your mind, body and soul will be living in harmony in no time. This could be as you drift with the waves on a catamaran cruise, or are upside down on a paddle board practising sunset yoga.
There is an abundance of activities to get involved in on the island. Visitors can immerse themselves in local culture, as 2018 celebrates the Year of Culinary Experiences (visitbarbados.org), or visit the local heritage sites such as the beautiful St. Nicholas Abbey (stnicholasabbey.com). Exploring can take an adventurous turn on the back of a Land Cruiser as they bounce down tracks across beaches and through the lush undergrowth (islandsafari.bb)
Across the board surveys show that it is women that are going it alone more than men, many choosing Barbados as their go to destination as the island is home to the friendliest locals in the Caribbean. Visitors will feel far from alone as they are invited to join in the fun with fish barbequing on the grill and calypso beats thumping through the sound systems.
Solo travelling is all about celebrating your independence and enjoying yourself. Let Barbados be a part of the next stage of your self-discovery.
