Luxury Solo Travel in 2026 — Where to Go and What to Do Alone
Travelling alone at this level is not a compromise on the couple's trip. It is a trip built entirely around one person's pace, with a guide when you want company and privacy when you don't.
A Botswana Family Safari
Botswana is not the obvious family safari, which is exactly why it works: camps of a dozen guests, a private vehicle that runs on your children's clock, and a morning with meerkats that no one in the family will forget.
A Family Fortnight in Barbados
Two weeks on the west coast with the shallow, calm water that makes the difference with small children — a catamaran day down the leeward coast, and the turtles that gather off Paynes Bay most mornings. A private, tailored journey of 12 Days · 11 Nights in Barbados, The Caribbean, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$18,500 per traveler.
Aruba for the Family
The Caribbean's most consistent sunshine, the calmest sea on the leeward coast, a villa with a pool, and the beach at Eagle Beach so shallow that the youngest member of the family stands in it — the reef a ten-minute boat ride away. A private, tailored journey of 8 Days · 7 Nights in Aruba, The Caribbean, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$8,900 per traveler.
St Thomas for the Family
The US Virgin Islands as a sailing family's ideal base — Magens Bay for the morning, a catamaran to St John for the reef, a snorkelling charter to the BVI for the older children, and the Saturday market in Charlotte Amalie for the adults. A private, tailored journey of 8 Days · 7 Nights in St Thomas, The Caribbean, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$12,500 per traveler.
Turks & Caicos for the Family
Grace Bay's impossible clarity at a depth where the youngest can stand and see everything — a snorkelling charter to the barrier reef for the older children, a glass-bottom kayak for the rest, and a villa where the chef plans the morning around what the family wants for the day. A private, tailored journey of 8 Days · 7 Nights in Turks & Caicos, The Caribbean, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$18,500 per traveler.
Punta Cana for the Family
The Dominican Republic's east coast designed for every age — a villa with a private pool, a catamaran for the older children, a morning horseback ride along Bávaro beach for the middle ages, and the snorkelling reef where the parrotfish are bigger than expected. A private, tailored journey of 8 Days · 7 Nights in Punta Cana, The Caribbean, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$12,800 per traveler.
Winter Sun in Riviera Maya
December to April — the dry season when the cenotes are pellucid, the Caribbean current calm, and the jungle above Tulum accessible before the heat of February closes it. Whale-shark season off Isla Holbox comes later, from 15 June to 15 September, and the turtle nesting at Akumal begins in May. A private, tailored journey of 7 Days · 6 Nights in Riviera Maya, The Caribbean, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$6,800 per traveler.
