“Travel far enough, you meet yourself,” David Mitchell once said. And while there’s nothing like travelling with a group of friendly, like-minded folks, it’s healthy to get away all by yourself at times—exploring new cultures and geographies, meeting people with different perspectives, and, well, discovering yourself a little more. And renting a private plane for your solo trip elevates your experience even further.
Although travelling solo may pose certain concerns, such as safety threats and the inability to converse in the country’s native language, there are several global destinations that are warm and welcoming to tourists and help them break language and cultural barriers. So, here’s our list of some of the safest countries for solo travel.
Iceland
Ranked by the Global Peace Index as the most peaceful country in the world in every consecutive year since 2008, Iceland is the perfect getaway to beat the heat and travel against the backdrop of breathtaking natural landscapes. Known as the “Land of Fire and Ice,” Iceland lends itself to adventurous souls. Glacier hiking, snowmobiling, skiing and snowmobiling are just some of the marvelous sports activities you can expect to enjoy here.
But if you’re the quiet, indoor kind, Iceland also has just the right activities for you. So, you may choose to relax and unwind at the Blue Lagoon in water heated up by an underground volcano or explore the country’s fascinating history at the National Museum of Iceland—totally your call!
Spain
Constituting 85% of the Iberian Peninsula, Spain is regarded as one of the safest European countries. Its advanced infrastructure, low crime rates, friendly natives and the availability of several single rooms make it highly conducive to solo travel for women and men alike.
Moreover, public transport is easily available here, and the rich cultural heritage makes assimilation in this country seamless for foreigners. While major cities like Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia are must-visits, some lesser-known places like Basque Country and Cantabria are also remarkably tourist-friendly.
Thailand
Here’s a place that will never let you feel alone, even when you are all by yourself. Being affordable, safe and resplendent with tourist destinations, Thailand is the perfect destination for Indian tourists. And while the authentic mango sticky rice, pad thai and khao soi cannot be missed, you can always resort to your desi comfort food available at every nook and cranny on the streets of Thailand’s major cities. With public transportation being easily available and locals being incredibly helpful, you are in for a fun (and party!)-filled solo trip in the Land of Smiles!
Costa Rica
Repeatedly regarded as one of the happiest nations in the world, Costa Rica welcomes solo and group travellers alike with open arms. If you are outdoorsy, this place is perfect to satisfy your adventurous soul, offering activities like whitewater rafting and ziplining across stunning rainforest milieus. But if that’s not your cup of tea, this place also has several other enchanting destinations, including the famous Manuel Antonio National Park, La Fortuna waterfalls, the rich flora and fauna in the quaint Caribbean town of Cahuita, and the vibrant Coco Beach.
Maldives
This scenic island country located close to the Indian subcontinent is more than just a go-to honeymoon destination – it also has a lot to offer solo travellers. In addition to its vibrant beaches and coastlines, Maldives has several resorts that organize wellness programs suited to solo tourists.
Most of the resorts also offer considerable privacy, while being well-staffed and satisfying all the travel requirements of their clients. From several enthralling water sports to spectacular landscapes and coasts, Maldives makes for a peaceful solo trip destination.
