Solo travel has become a growing trend in recent years, with internet searches soaring year over year and an ever-increasing market experts project to continue 10% annual compounding growth. What does this mean for the modern traveler? Well, the number one thing to know is that a growing world of travel options can accommodate solo journeys.
Some travel industry insiders suggest that the appeal of solo travel lies in the freedom and independence it offers. Without others to plan around, individuals explore new destinations at their own pace, indulge in personal interests, and find opportunities to discover themselves along the way.
So whether it's a desire for self-discovery, a need for solitude, or simply a thirst for adventure, solo travel offers a transformative experience unlike any other, which is something hotels and resorts worldwide are taking note of, including the team here at Nayara Resorts.
In this article, we’ll briefly explore the experiences that await solo travelers at each of our destinations — the Arenal Rainforest, the Atacama Desert, Easter Island, and the Bocas del Toro archipelago — and how each of these exotic locales offers something unique specifically for individual adventurers.
For thousands of years, human beings have stepped away from civilization to find balance and rejuvenation through connection to the natural world. This is possible at all of the Nayara Resorts destinations, but nowhere else can it seem more powerful than in a personal journey to discover the vibrant rainforests surrounding the Arenal Volcano, one of the most biologically vibrant and diverse locations on earth.
A solo journey into Arenal provides a distraction-free immersion in nature and the chance to embrace a lifestyle intimately connected to the rhythm of the rainforest. Wake up to the call of the birds and fall asleep as the sun sets. Along the way, consult with Nayara Resorts guides and staff to customize your tours, hikes, and experiences, allowing you to encounter tropical birds, mammals, and other captivating species in their natural habitats. This personalized approach helps you understand the intricacies of their fascinating lives.
As dawn begins to break on the possibility of celestial tourism, including groundbreaking journeys to low-earth orbit, the tourism industry has continued challenging itself to understand what it truly means to get away. Distance always breeds a change of perspective, and with the tales of astronauts returning to Earth forever changed, the possibilities of considering the world beyond our own are tempting and endless.
At Nayara Resorts, extraplanetary travel isn't on our agenda just yet, but solo travelers can still experience an otherworldly adventure in the heart of the Atacama Desert. This remote location, resembling the Martian surface, offers unparalleled stargazing conditions under some of the clearest skies on Earth, home to the world's largest astronomical observatories. Here, you'll feel as if you're a million miles away, immersed in a unique and breathtaking environment
On solo tours across the rugged, barren, seemingly alien landscape still dotted with vibrant life, or exploring the ruins of the cultures who lived here for centuries, you get as close to otherworldly travel as we’ve been able to find without journeying into orbit. With a luxurious oasis to welcome you back each day, Nayara Alto Atacama provides a glimpse into the future of interplanetary tourism centuries ahead of schedule.
One of the benefits of solo travel is the level of immersion you can achieve on your journey. Without the routine of friends, family, or a partner, your mind is fully opened to experience new ways of life, new ways of seeing the world, and new sensations. Nayara Hangaroa on Easter Island offers yet another dimension for solo travelers to explore: time. Among the coastal cliffsides, ceremonial villages, ancient ruins, and sacred sites to visit on Easter Island, you can find the very real remnants of the past, brought to life in vivid detail by modern guides, many of whom are descendants of the original inhabitants of Easter Island.
In a moment of peace and quiet, gazing up at the Moai, solo travelers are walking in the exact same footsteps of the ancient warriors, kings, and explorers who once used to journey through the South Pacific and occupy these lands. Staying at Nayara Hangaroa, your lodging and surroundings draw from the traditional architecture and designs of Easter Island, ensuring that your immersion in this ancient way of life comes with the care and quality reserved only for royalty.
The overwater villas and tropical forest treehouses of Nayara Bocas del Toro round out the selection for solo travelers at Nayara Resorts by offering perhaps the most iconic getaway vacation of all — a private island escape in the heart of the Caribbean.
Relish spa treatments at your villa in the morning, sip cocktails by the world’s first aerial beach in the afternoon, dine at the incomparable Elephant House in the evenings, and do it all again tomorrow. Or set off for adventures amongst the waves and explore beneath the surface to find hidden grottoes to a rich ecosystem like none other on Earth. Whatever you’re called to do, your solo vacation awaits.
We live in an era where solo travel is a growing trend, a way to find purpose, relaxation, adventure, distance from the hum and drum of daily life, and much more.
Whether you choose to travel solo or journey with a joyous group of loved ones, you are always welcome to join us at any of our properties at Nayara Resorts.
