Placencia Belize: Where Solo Beach Vacations Are Setting Trends!

Belize Laru Beya Resort

A recent increase in the number of singles booking getaways has been notable, writes Forbes magazine contributor Irene S. Levine. “The stereotype of the solo traveler as a backpacker on a shoestring budget is outdated,” she says. “Increasingly, travelers of all ages, regardless of economic or social status, are opting to travel alone.” Solo travel has become a passion for some—even those who log impressive amounts of time traveling the globe on business. There’s something extra special about solo leisure trips, concludes Levine.

Why travel alone?

Because it’s liberating! Men, it seems, have become more comfortable citing “self-reflection, personal development, and cultural immersion” over adventure as their motivations for traveling solo according to a Grand View Research study. But women love it too, mentioning opportunities to forge connections and enjoying the flexibility not always found when traveling as a couple or in a group.

Both men and women cite autonomy and the freedom to curate their own itineraries and avoid having to make compromises as reasons they have adopted solo travel. In addition to being unencumbered by companions during immersive experiences, solo travelers love the fact that they’re never slowed down because a travel pal wants to move on and they don’t!

“For your first solo trip, it helps to go somewhere where English is widely spoken,” one passionate leisure traveler told Levine. “It lowers the barrier for connection and makes you feel more secure.” Find both in English-speaking Placencia Belize where Laru Beya Resort is the ideal destination for first time solo nomads as well as those who frequent this popular property.
