As women, our lives evolve, and so do our travel aspirations, transforming with each new chapter. If you're seeking an adventure that perfectly aligns with your current stage of life, look no further! We've curated an exhilarating list of sun-soaked and snow-covered destinations and holiday types that cater to every phase.
Whether you're a solo traveller craving independence, a mom in need of a rejuvenating retreat, or someone embarking on a profound personal journey, these destinations promise unforgettable experiences tailored just for you.
Solo Travel Adventures
Solo travel isn’t just about exploring new places; it’s a passport to meeting incredible people with stories as diverse as the landscapes you’ll discover. Each connection you make could spark a lifelong friendship, turning strangers into kindred spirits with tales to swap over a glass of local wine or while soaking in a hot spring. Navigating solo through new environments as a woman is like a crash course in confidence-building. Every new step you take on your journey adds another layer of self-reliance, turning potential obstacles into opportunities to shine with grace and style.
And let’s not forget the best part of traveling solo: total freedom! No compromises on your itinerary, no waiting for others to catch up – just pure, unadulterated you-time. One of the best destinations for solo travel is Club Med Val Thorens! Nestled in the majestic French Alps, this all-inclusive resort offers opportunities for fun in the snow during the day and après-ski delights by night. Picture yourself dancing under the stars and raising a toast to newfound friends, all against the backdrop of breathtaking mountain vistas that seem straight out of a postcard.
Because Val Thorens is the highest ski resort in Europe, standing at an impressive 2,300 metres, this elevation ensures an extended ski season and some of the best snow conditions you can find, making it an ideal spot for both beginners and seasoned skiers. The combination of thrilling outdoor activities and the opportunity to connect with fellow adventurers makes solo travel to Val Thorens a uniquely enriching experience.
Did you know: Club Med offers a snow guarantee so should your resort of choice not have adequate cover for skiing or snowboarding, they will aim to accommodate you at a resort that has the snow required for an amazing adventure*
Rejuvenation and Reconnection for Moms
We know that motherhood is a beautiful journey, but let’s face it, it’s also a whirlwind of sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, leaving little time for personal rest and rejuvenation. A momcation offers that much-needed break from daily routines, giving you a chance to recharge both physically and mentally - allowing you to return to your responsibilities with renewed energy and a positive outlook. Imagine rediscovering your favourite hobbies, enjoying uninterrupted moments of relaxation, and simply reconnecting with yourself.
If you travel with your family, a holiday can strengthen family bonds, creating cherished memories and a supportive environment for both you and your baby. It’s a chance to alleviate stress, boost your mood, and foster a sense of balance and fulfilment, making you feel like the supermom you truly are. For the perfect blend of relaxation and family-friendly fun, Mauritius is an ideal escape. With short flight times from South Africa and the comfort of a baby welcome and kids club at the all-inclusive La Pointe aux Canonniers, you can unwind on pristine beaches with a cocktail in hand (or enjoy the simple pleasure of finishing a hot meal) while your little one is cared for. Explore the island’s vibrant culture, indulge in soothing spa treatments and enjoy quality time with your growing family amidst stunning tropical surroundings. Treat yourself to the holiday you deserve – because a happy mom means a happy family!
