The beach is a great place to shut off your mind, and steady your heartbeat. Let the sound of the waves wash over you. Be at peace and present in your surroundings. There are many luxury options all around the world, from the expert ones in Indonesia like Soori Bali in Bali, Indonesia, to locations like Royal Zanzibar in Tanzania. These are great for solo trips as they can be a time for self-reflection, rest, and rejuvenation, all while offering chances to meet new people depending on how you plan your trip. 

As you get your outfits ready for such a dreamy trip, why not pack these earrings:

Ski Resort

When you need an activity to do, are looking to try something new, or love skiing and the snow – a ski resort is the way to go. It is a winter wonderland you can explore while practicing or learning a fun and exhilarating skill. For a solo traveler, it would be good to get ski training or go for group skiing classes. There are great ski resorts in Japan like the Okushiga Kogen Resort that you could explore further.

While you’re enjoying the resort, here are some jewelry options for your dinners:

Desert Resort

From the winter mountain to the desert sand. Desert resorts are a great way to be in a space of growth and reflection, where you can shut out the world, and be still. In an expansive land with opportunities to wander, be free, and connect with the earth, you’ll probably discover more than you anticipated. There are beautiful resorts in Arizona like Enchantment Resort or Namibia like the Onguma Lodge where you can truly experience nature in a new way, through safari or tours, and stunning rock formations.

What bling to wear when you are out in the desert sands:

Exploring Ancient Ruins

Now it’s time to go on a trip of history. For those who like to look back to look forward, this could be a great solo retreat idea during a gap year, or for some time to reflect on life. This would be best with a guide and planned activities. Of course, there are famous ancient Roman ruins in Italy, but there are also the well-known Machu Picchu ruins in Peru. Wherever you’re going to explore, be adventurous and open-minded, and fully immerse yourself in the trip.

Food Trip

Dear foodies, this one’s for you! If you have been watching food travel documentaries and are curious about what it would be like to have a travel food experience of a lifetime, then this retreat idea is what you’ve been waiting for. Why? You might ask. Well, some resorts are known for great gastronomical experiences, or you could choose a resort in a location known for excellent food, and head out to explore. Mexico – as well as France including Maison Chenet and of course Italy with the Baglioni Hotel.

As you expand your palate and experience foods beyond your dreams, here are great jewelry pieces to accompany your restaurant visits:

Unique Stays

Speaking of unique stays, this one has to have a category of its own. What about taking a cruise tour, or having a resort experience on a boat? Being on the water can be a soothing experience. There’s also the added benefit, depending on your particular stay, of traveling from one beach to the other with your resort on the water. Whether you are going on a London Yacht, you’re sure to have plenty of chances to be around beautiful, calming water.

To accompany your sailing style:

Glamping

For another retreat stay that can have you on the move, try a camper van or glamping (glamours camping) experience. This is not for everyone, but there is something for everyone if you do choose to jump into this adventure experience. Take a moment to feel the wind on your face as you ride on the road, stay in an enchanting forest, or go to locations where you can easily access hikes. With this stay, you will be uniquely involved in your retreat experience. Why not try Hahei Beach Resort, a camper van resort experience in New Zealand?

As you’re on the road, here are some jewelry options: 

Theme Park Hotel

Nostalgia with Disney? Blockbusters with Universal? There’s something especially fun about going to a place we can relate or connect to in some way. The element of being in a world that is so different from the real world makes going to these places that much more magical. Spend time here living out your dreams, reveling in the experience of living in imagination, and having lots to explore daily. Universal in USA, Florida is an iconic theme park resort to explore.

Spa Retreat

Finally, there is a resort experience that we cannot skip. Going to a spa is a popular option in most resort hotels. There is a difference though between going to a spa during your trip and having a spa-focused trip. For a retreat where you are going to experience a spa and relax all through, with various spa treatments, try Finca Cortesin in Spain.
