Active holidays for the body and mind

Movement isn’t just good for our bodies—it’s a tonic for the mind too. Regular activity eases stress, lifts our mood, and helps us sleep better. It sparks endorphins and those “feel-good” hormones—while improving focus and confidence. When you combine that with travel, fresh air, and the company of like-minded people, it becomes a powerful recipe for wellbeing. 



On World Mental Health Day, we’re shining a light on escorted group active holidays that keep you moving, while reminding us that connection is every bit as important as exercise.


Cycling adventures

 

Cycling in Croatia


Cycling clears the head like nothing else. In Croatia, the simple rhythm of pedalling is set against glittering coastlines and terracotta-roofed towns. Add in the laughter of fellow Solos at a scenic coffee stop, and you’ve got both fitness and friendship rolled into one.

 


Cycling the Algarve & Southern Spain


Golden light on olive groves, rolling hills, and the gentle encouragement of a group that’s right there with you. Beyond boosting stamina and strength, these trips remind us how uplifting it feels to share the journey and achievement together.

 
 

Multi-Activity Escapes


Mallorca Multi-Activity


A new adventure each day, hiking, kayaking, cycling – all with a group of supportive fellow travellers by your side. The variety keeps your body energised and your mind sharp, while the shared experiences create bonds that last long after the trip ends.

 


Zakynthos Activity Adventure

 
Balance is everything. This trip blends days cycling, kayaking and yoga with time to explore and relax. Travelling with Solos means you’re never on your own unless you want to be, and with our Tour Leader on hand, you’ve got support every step of the way.

 


Social Sports


Padel, Bowls & Pickleball


Activity doesn’t have to be intense to make a difference. Gentler games like padel, bowls, and pickleball are light on the body but rich in camaraderie. They get your heart pumping, keep your joints supple, and guarantee plenty of laughter, proving that connection is medicine for the soul.

 
 


Wellness Retreats


From yoga under Grecian skies to mindful mornings by the sea, our wellness trips invite you to pause, breathe and reset. They’re designed for balance, gentle movement, nourishing food, and the company of like-minded people who understand the value of slowing down. Our Tour Leaders are always there in the background, making sure everything runs smoothly so you can focus on you.

 
 

Travel that lifts your spirits


At Solos, we know that wellbeing isn’t just about exercise – it’s about belonging. That’s why every active holiday is built around the joy of shared experiences. Our small groups mean instant company, while our Tour Leaders bring added reassurance and warmth – many started as guests themselves, so they know exactly what makes a trip feel special.


This World Mental Health Day, let’s celebrate the power of movement & connection – two ingredients that make life brighter.
