Yes, you can go on a fitness retreat alone, and at SALTY most people do. More than 60% of our guests book solo. You meet the group in a private WhatsApp chat about a month before you fly. On a shared room, we match you with a roommate of the same gender, and a driver meets you at the airport on arrival day.

What it's like to arrive alone
You land, and someone from SALTY is already waiting. You've seen the faces in the group chat for weeks, so the first hello is easy. Meals are family-style. Workouts happen in groups, often in pairs. By the first dinner, you're not "the solo person" anymore. You're just part of the crew.
How rooms work when you come solo
Book a shared room and you pay the same per-person rate as everyone else, with no single supplement. We match you with another guest of the same gender. Want your own space? Private rooms are available at a higher rate. You can also bring one friend and room together.
Will I fit in?
Our median guest is 32, and 60% of guests are in their 30s. Some run marathons, and some haven't worked out in months. Every session goes harder or gentler, so the group moves together without anyone being left behind.

I was traveling by myself. I felt like part of the group immediately.
I went in worried about fitting in, but those worries vanished almost instantly.
This might not be for you if…
- You want a silent, solo retreat with lots of alone time.
- You'd rather plan every hour of your own trip.
Frequently asked questions
Will I be the only one who comes alone?
No. More than 60% of guests book solo, so most people arrive not knowing anyone.
When do I meet the group?
About a month before the trip, in a private WhatsApp chat. Guests share flight times, and some meet at the airport.
Who will I room with?
If you book a shared room, we match you with a guest of the same gender. Or bring one friend to room with.
Is there a single supplement?
Not for shared rooms. Private rooms cost more because you're not sharing.
What if I'm shy or need downtime?
Everything is optional except fun. Skip a session, nap, or read by the pool. Nobody keeps score.
Is it mostly couples?
No. Most guests come solo or with one friend.
How old are the guests?
The median age is 32. Most guests are 28 to 45.
