In the last few years, solo trips for women have become increasingly popular, with women from all over the world seizing opportunities and making the leap to discover new experiences and cultures on their own.
On the rugged hills and valleys of the Emerald Coast of Nicaragua lies Rancho Santana, a destination where women traveling solo are bound to encounter adventure, experiences, and community. With so much to experience, right on-site, it is the ideal women’s travel destination to create unforgettable memories of Nicaragua.
Often you will find women on solo trips in the area, having come here to indulge in days upon days of surfing the famous waves of Playa Santana. Others who prefer a slower pace can be found among the treetops, heading to The Spa in El Bosque for a respite from the sun or to the Yoga Deck to connect with nature and self.
Safety is typically at the forefront for women when considering traveling alone, which is why The Ranch’s five beaches and infinite experiences are a great fit. The Ranch is vast and offers opportunities for adventure, relaxation, and everything in between without having to leave the property.
However extensive, women travelers can rest assured that they will be safe at The Ranch.
Nicaragua is considered the safest country in Central America. We offer many off-site experiences for those longing to explore beyond Rancho Santana. Our guides can take you on a tour to explore everything from the colonial city of Granada and the active Masaya Volcano to the lake island of Ometepe and more.
One of the many reasons many women prefer to travel alone is the level of flexibility it provides them when discovering new destinations. Traveling with groups and family is always fun, but being able to explore on your own time is invaluable.
Most women who do solo trips are looking to immerse themselves in a new destination and discover it at their own pace. They enjoy being able to decide whether to have a day of leisure, an action-packed day of adventure, or, a mix of both.
And while solo trips provide a certain freedom, most women also want a social experience, which is why travel groups have become so popular.
These groups offer a sense of community and camaraderie, while reducing the potential anxiety of being in a foreign space that solo travelers can often have.
Whether it’s while sipping on coffee at El Cafe, where many of our residents gather in the mornings, or enjoying some poolside drinks at The Pool Bar, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make friends along the way.
Social life is also booming nearby and off-property, with many boutique resorts and restaurants to explore.
