Michael's BodyHoliday blog

Having spent too much time on work, I had gotten out of the habit of relaxing and taking time out of my business and doing something just for me.

When Sarah suggested I joined her small group of solo travellers to BodyHoliday, I admit I was hesitant. It’s been years since I’d had a proper holiday and travelling solo was not something I had ever considered. Having agreed to join the group last year, I admit I was a little apprehensive. Sarah was brilliant! She took the time to tell me all about the resort and what to expect. She literally took care of everything from start to finish – from booking my flight seats and checking me in, to booking all my spa treatments and sorting out some fabulous dining reservations. The fact I was able to meet the other group members beforehand on a zoom session help make everything less daunting.

Getting there was a doddle as Sarah guided us through the airport, on to our flight and straight to the helicopter when we landed in St Lucia. Having her on hand made everything so much easier.

I quickly settled into a daily routine and found a great spot under a tree to read my book and watch the world go by. Late afternoon we headed up to the spa and each and every treatment was wonderful.

The group was made up of lovely, laid-back people and I have made friends for life and can't thank Sarah enough for creating this fabulous trip.

The trip far exceeded my expectations. I went from dreading travelling on my own, to not wanting to come home! I am already looking forward to this year’s trip and can see this being an annual thing for me from now on. For anyone looking to escape to paradise, somewhere to relax and recharge and just be yourself with like-minded solo travellers, this is the trip for you.
