Because Some of the Best Travel Companions Are… Ourselves
Let’s be real: solo travel isn’t just empowering — it’s wildly luxurious when done right. As someone who travels alone often (that would be me – Deb), I can tell you that independent luxury travel can be deeply fulfilling, wildly freeing, and even a little magical.
At Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited, we love helping fellow independent travelers design journeys that are elegant, enriching, and never lonely (unless you want them to be).
Why Solo Travel is the Ultimate Indulgence
- Do exactly what you want, when you want. Sleep in. Linger over wine. Change plans on a whim. No negotiations required.
- Meet incredible people on your own terms. Guides, locals, and fellow travelers become part of your story — but only when (and if) you want them to.
- It’s deeply grounding. Solo travel gives you clarity, perspective, and the chance to hear your own thoughts (preferably while soaking in an infinity pool).
Favorite Destinations for Solo Luxury Travelers
1. Italy
- Culinary classes in Tuscany, aperitivo in Milan, and art walks in Florence. The ultimate blend of solo-friendly culture and connection.
2. Iceland
- Solo travel paradise. Soak in steamy lagoons, hike surreal landscapes, and chase waterfalls with expert guides — all while feeling perfectly safe and inspired.
3. New Zealand
- Outdoor adventure meets stunning landscapes. Hike, kayak, and wine-taste through the South Island with expert local guides.
4. France
- From boutique Parisian hotels to lavender fields in Provence, France is for flâneurs and foodies alike.
5. Costa Rica
- Jungle lodges, solo surf lessons, and wellness resorts make it perfect for the adventurer-at-heart who still wants a luxe pillow.
Pro Tips for Solo Travel with Style
- Stay somewhere amazing. Whether it’s a five-star hotel, a private villa, or a luxury lodge, your accommodations become your sanctuary.
- Build in structure. Include a few guided tours or experiences to anchor your days and spark connection.
- Use private drivers and transfers. This removes the stress of navigating on your own and adds a seamless touch.
- Book with a pro. (Hi again!) I help solo travelers access insider perks, design smart itineraries, and feel supported every step of the way.
