Luxury Escapes for Women: Top Resorts for a Solo Staycation

Writer: Jessica NicholeJessica Nichole

Here’s the thing: life can be a lot. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is hit pause, pack a bag, and check yourself into a little slice of heaven where your only job is to take care of you. Whether you’re craving a luxurious spa day, breathtaking views, or just some quiet time to think, these resorts are made for the kind of solo getaway that leaves you feeling like your best self.

Why a Solo Staycation Is the Ultimate Power Move

We all need a break, but not just any break—a you-focused break. A staycation isn’t about running away from life; it’s about pressing reset, indulging in a little luxury, and remembering what it feels like to put yourself first. You’ll leave with clearer thoughts, a lighter spirit, and a deeper connection to yourself.

COMO Shambhala is more than a resort—it’s a wellness retreat designed to nurture your body and soul. You’ll leave with new rituals (and probably a new favorite tea) that you can take back to real life.
