Spas and wellness retreats that are perfect for solo travelers

When you could use a weekend alone—emphasis on the alone—to slow down and self-reflect, head to one of these regenerative spas and wellness resorts across the U.S. that are perfect for solo travelers.

Bask in the solitude and rugged beauty of south-central Wyoming during a stay at The Lodge and Spa at Brush Creek Ranch, a 30,000-acre, all-inclusive guest ranch that’s ideal for reconnecting with nature and experiencing the calming presence of horses.

Watch the sunrise and sip coffee on the porch of your private log cabin, then head out for a few hours of sunshine and endorphins while trail riding, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, fly-fishing, or ATVing. Afterward, treat yourself to a Medicine Bow facial or a Wyoming river stone massage at the ranch’s Trailhead Spa. While there, you can sip a cup of tea, de-stress in the sauna, and breathe deep in the steam room.

Don’t skip one of the ranch’s Hatha- or Vinyasa-style yoga sessions (including goat yoga!)—or head out for a forest bathing, sound healing, or Reiki energy healing session.

Taking its design cues from the surrounding groves of balsam fir and birch, Hidden Pond Resort & Tree Spa leaves you feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. Set on 60 acres in Kennebunkport, Maine, the resort’s options provide opportunities for solitary reflection, as well as social connection with others—or a mix of both.

Gently wake up your body with morning yoga in the garden, followed by a refreshing dip in one of the resort’s two pools. Get a massage in one of the treehouse-inspired rooms at the Tree Spa, then grab a bite of organic farm-to-table fare at the on-site restaurant, Earth. The resort also organizes an array of restorative activities that will help feed your spirit, including floral arrangement and art classes, forest bathing, stargazing, and guided nature walks, to name just a few.

Colorado may be landlocked, but the Springs Resort in Pagosa Springs showcases the beauty and therapeutic power of water all the same. Situated on the banks of the San Juan River, the resort’s 25 steamy pools—fed by mineral-rich, geothermal water from the world’s deepest hot spring aquifer—will soothe your aching muscles and quiet your mind. Each pool has its own vibe so, if you’re soaking solo, you can decide whether you’d like to float quietly on your own or chat with other visitors while grooving to live music.

When you retreat to your room for the night, you’ll find a “deep sleep tray” designed to help you drift off into a rejuvenating night’s slumber. You can also fill your getaway with other soothing activities, like water yoga, sound baths, body treatments, forest bathing hikes, and gratitude ceremonies.

Situated just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Walland, TN, Blackberry Farm is a serene escape from daily life. As soon as you step foot onto the lush, green 4,200-acre estate, you’ll feel your tension begin to ease. With size-inclusive robes and spa treatments inspired by the surrounding mountains, The Wellhouse—the resort’s hub for all things wellness—will help you feel even more at peace.

Blackberry Farm has a full menu of activities designed to nurture your mind, body, and spirit, from journaling and mindful watercolor painting to restorative yoga and guided meditation in the woods. If you prefer a more active getaway, you can make that happen here, too. Archery, fly-fishing, paddleboarding, and even paintball are all options.

You’ll continue to feel grounded long after you leave The Lodge at Woodloch, a tranquil, 500-plus-acre retreat nestled among the Poconos of northeast Pennsylvania. The wooded grounds—complete with a private, 15-acre lake—provide the perfect backdrop for solo travelers who want to cultivate better emotional, physical, and mental well-being.

Choose from more than 50 wellness-focused activities during each day of your stay, including hiking and guided meditations. The Lodge at Woodloch also offers art and cooking classes, as well as a variety of spa treatments.

Swaying palm trees, soft sandy beaches, and cotton candy-pink sunrises over the Atlantic help set the relaxing tone at Carillon Miami Wellness Resort in Miami Beach, FL. The resort has the largest spa and fitness facility on the East Coast, offering 70,000 square feet of space for solo travelers to re-center themselves during fitness classes and spa treatments.

Blending Eastern and Western traditions, the Carillion can help you prioritize your overall health and well-being in whatever way feels right to you. In addition to more traditional spa services—like body wraps, massages, and facials—on-site practitioners also specialize in everything from brain health to energy healing and cryotherapy.
