Holidaying isn’t just a fantastic opportunity to experience new places; it’s also a great chance to meet new people that you may not cross paths with in your daily life. But whether you’re looking to relax in your own company for a few days or socialise with fellow travellers, Alfa Holidays has plenty of recommendations for the best solo travel destinations across the UK.
In this guide, we’ll be talking through everything you need to know about coach holidays for solo travellers, including tips for travelling alone for the first time and what’s included in a solo coach holiday.
We appreciate that solo holidays can feel daunting, but, with any luck, this guide will put your mind at ease and encourage you to join us on what we hope will be your first of many adventures with Alfa Holidays.
The idea of travelling alone may raise some initial concerns: ‘Will I be safe?’ ‘Will I be lonely?’ But we can assure you that on one of our coach holidays, you’re never truly alone. Alfa is all about community. From our warm, spirited guests to our helpful collection of drivers and guides, we’ll make sure that you’re supported and well looked after every step of the way.
With convenient interchanges, great facilities, luggage handled by our team, accommodation, and excursions arranged by us, Alfa is the epitome of hassle-free solo travel. Our stress free holidays for one are designed with accessibility and ease in mind, allowing you to truly relax and immerse yourself in your coach holiday.
So, if you’re a first time solo traveller, all we ask is that you sit back, take in the scenery, mingle with as many of our guests as you like, and put your trust in us to make your journey memorable.
One of the best parts about travelling alone is that you get to do it exactly the way you want. So, where will you go? With a nation of such breathtaking beauty, it can be hard to pinpoint the destination that most appeals to you. Let us offer you some recommendations based on what you’re looking for in your coach holiday for solo travellers.
Seaside Spots: There’s no denying the nostalgia and charm of the British seaside. From the inviting smell of fish & chips to the thrills of the waltzers and the gentle feel of the sand beneath your feet, there are few places quite as joyous as the coast.
So, if a weekend coach trip to the seaside appeals to your taste, consider hopping on one of our coaches to Blackpool or coach trips to Llandudno.
Royal Breaks: Those fascinated by British history will be enthralled by the sights and stories of our royal coach trips. With tours across some of the UK’s most striking royal residencies, the chance to see castles and listed buildings up close, and a coach full of like minded tourists, our royal trips make for the perfect solo coach holiday.
Countryside Escapes: If you’re drawn to the idea of immense greenery and incomparably fresh air, we’d recommend relaxing into one of our countryside getaways. Enjoy awe-inspiring strolls through the UK’s natural landscapes and laugh your way through a pint or two with your fellow travellers at a nearby pub.
For breathtaking views and the chance to connect with the outside world, consider our coach holidays to Fort William or a coach trip to the Cotswolds.
As part of our commitment to making holidays for those travelling alone convenient and accessible, we’re proud to offer no supplements on standard single rooms. This means that those searching for single coach holidays can secure single occupancy rooms at no additional cost.
We’re well aware that finding affordable solo coach holidays can be tricky, which is why it’s so important for us to incentivise solo travel across each of our coach holiday destinations.
We’re incredibly proud of our Alfa Hotels and partner UK hotels, so if you have any questions or requests on arrival, Alfa is confident that our hotel teams will do everything they can to make you as comfortable and at home as possible.
Hopefully, we’ve assured you that holidays for solo travellers can be both convenient and a fantastic opportunity to make memories that last a lifetime. Take a look at the Alfa Holidays 2026 Brochure to find stress free holidays for one that suit your personal requirements.
