The benefits of solo travel for women
When we decide to step out of our comfort zone and venture somewhere new without waiting for others, taking that first step can feel daunting. Yet it's often those journeys where we build confidence, forge meaningful connections and discover new perspectives.
For many women, independent exploration and shared experiences offer the best of both worlds. With the rise of women’s-only guided tours, travellers enjoy solo time combined with the support of a group, the opportunity to connect with like-minded women, and gain unique cultural insights along the way. From hiking trips in Nepal to safaris in Kenya and wellness beach retreats in the Maldives, whatever the pace and whether travelling solo or with a friend, discover women's travel experiences from our trusted partners, with bonus savings for RACV Members.

Frequently asked questions
Some of the best destinations for solo female travel are those that are easy to navigate and align with your particular interests and travel style.
Many women are drawn to destinations that offer a mix of culture, adventure, wellness and opportunities to connect with local communities.
Popular choices for first-time solo travellers include Japan for its fascinating blend of tradition and modernity, Italy for its food, culture and relaxed lifestyle, New Zealand for its stunning natural landscapes and outdoor adventures, Canada for its welcoming cities and spectacular scenery, and Bali for wellness, relaxation and rejuvenation.
Small group guided tours can make it easier to explore new destinations with confidence, while resort stays in tropical locations are increasingly popular with solo female travellers looking to rest and recharge with spa treatments, wellness activities and nutritious dining experiences, without the need to venture too far from their accommodation.
Ultimately, the best destination is one that inspires you, suits your level of travel experience, and offers the experiences you're most interested in having.
Generally speaking, the best guided tours for solo women travellers are those that offer the right balance of independence, sightseeing, support and shared experiences. Itineraries that include opportunities to meet the local women making a difference in their communities can be particularly enriching.
Popular options include Intrepid's Women's Expeditions, which bring together small groups of like-minded women with a keen sense of adventure in destinations such as Nepal, India and Morocco. Led by local female leaders, these tours include unique experiences and insights into the lives of inspiring local women.
For travellers seeking a more premium style of touring, Insight Vacations offers Women-Only Tours in destinations including Italy, Portugal, Egypt and Peru. These guided journeys combine cultural immersion with Insight’s MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experiences so travellers can meet inspiring women, while travelling with other women who share a passion for travel.
While not exclusively for women, Wendy Wu's dedicated solo departures are popular with independent travellers looking to join a guided group. Available on selected tours through destinations such as Japan, China and Vietnam, they include private rooms, small group sizes and the company of fellow solo travellers.
For a unique women’s-only adventure, Bench Africa’s escorted Kenya safari is an exclusive small-group journey combining unforgettable wildlife encounters and authentic cultural experiences, led d by a local Kenyan female guide.
All-inclusive resorts can be a great option for solo female travellers, particularly those looking to relax and recharge without the need to plan every aspect of their trip. With accommodation, dining, entertainment and most activities included, they offer a convenient and hassle-free way to travel independently.
Club Med is a popular choice for solo travellers. Guests can enjoy spending time independently with plenty of opportunities to join activities.
Depending on the resort, travellers can enjoy wellness experiences, fitness classes, watersports, cultural activities and dining in a welcoming environment. Spa treatments are at an additional cost.
For women seeking a more relaxed and tranquil stay, selected Club Med resorts also feature adult-only areas such as Zen Zones, with dedicated pools, wellness spaces and quiet beachfront settings designed for rest and rejuvenation. Destinations such as Bali, Phuket, Maldives, Seychelles and the Caribbean are particularly popular for wellness-focused escapes.
Whether looking for an active holiday, a wellness retreat or simply the chance to unwind by the beach, all-inclusive resorts can provide a comfortable and supportive environment for solo female travellers.
