This Getaway Is For You If...
You are not a fan of crowds and tourism. Temperatures in the 60's and 70's are your comfort zone. Dining alfresco in a light sweater in the crisp air appeals to you. Learning about olives and olive oil production would be an incredible experience for you, along with visiting local markets to taste everything in season. Historic walks in the old town, learning about history and culture, awakens your curiosity. You love nature, hiking, exploring. Those in the know, know that Autumn is exceptional. It is harvest time for olives, grapes, mushrooms and more, and there are festivals galore taking place, where you can mingle with locals and immerse yourself in their way of life. There will be a good amount of walking each day, so an appropriate level of fitness is required.

Your Hosts
DEBORAH
Founder, Solo in Style
Deborah has always loved to travel and when she found herself suddenly divorced aged 50, her response was to go it alone. It was scary, fabulous, and empowering, in equal measure, and she was instantly hooked. As a solo female traveller over the age of 50, a huge and growing demographic, Deborah felt ignored by the travel industry. This prompted her to create Solo In Style with the idea of connecting like-minded women to encourage and support one another with their solo travels. Alongside a successful 30-year career in marketing, fine wine & culinary arts, Deborah, now aged 63, continues to expand Solo in Style globally to support and encourage as many women as possible to fulfil their solo travel ambitions.

​
Weather in Mallorca in November
​
November is truly the perfect month for enjoyment as it is not too hot and not too cold. Temperatures are between 60-75 degrees fahrenheit during the day (15-24 celcius), and 50-60 in the evenings (10-15). Dining al fresco with a sweater or scarf is very common. November is also the month of so many harvests ... grapes, olives, mushrooms.
​
Maximum Group Size
​
We accept just 12 women per event.
​
Eligible to Attend
​
This trip is exclusively for Solo in Style members ... women 50+ years of age with a brilliant outlook on life, who love to travel and want to meet like-minded as well as diverse women.
​
Pack List
​
A pack list will be sent to every guest prior to travel. Casual clothing throughout, comfortable walking footwear, swimwear for the pool and spa, and workout gear (if participating). The pack list will be much more detailed.
​
Room Selection
​
All rooms are private with private bathroom, for maximum comfort and a bit of solo time. They are each uniquely beautiful in layout and decor ... reserved on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis. The earlier you reserve your spot and pay your deposit, the more choices you’ll have.
​
Room Sharing
​
Solo In Style is exactly that ... your room is just for you. All rooms are solo occupancy with private bathrooms. Some are on the ground floor, some are on the top floor, some have balconies, etc. Rooms are reserved on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis, based on when your deposit was received.
​
Mandatory Travel Insurance
​
Solo in Style requires each guest to purchase full personal travel insurance for the duration of the trip. It's the safest and best way to travel. We will ask for proof of insurance prior to the event and reserve the right to deny any participant who has not obtained this. Any fees paid towards the event will be non-refundable.
​
Dietary Requirements
​
Most requirements are possible, although pure vegan and gluten free may be limited. When booking restaurants, we will be sure to give them a heads up with regard to your preferences.
​
Photos and Videos

One of the most fun aspects of any travel event is the photos and videos taken. We provide a shared folder where everyone can drop and download media. We will also share our best footage. Guests are welcome to post these images on social media. You may not sell or otherwise use any of the images taken by us or our photographers and videographers or other guests for commercial purposes. When registering for our event you agree and acknowledge that your image and likeness may be used in future promotional material, by both Solo In Style, and our partner companies. We only use the "good ones" where everyone looks great! If you prefer not to be photographed or to appear in any videos, please let us know ahead of time.
​

​
Airport Transfers
​
Upon arrival to Mallorca it is quick and easy and inexpensive to grab a taxi. You'll be on your way to the hotel within minutes of exiting the airport. Prior to travel, we will all share flight details so that perhaps you can ride with a fellow guest. Your taxi back to the airport will be scheduled for you. These rides are approximately 30 minutes each and the total cost is around 100 euro ... you may pay via credit card or euro.
​
Alcohol and Other Substances
​
Spain is known for its wine and gin. If you plan to drink, we ask you to do so responsibly. The idea is to enjoy, but not to become inebriated. Drugs and illegal substances will never be tolerated.
​
Covid Measures and Requirements
​
Solo in Style will ask all guests to follow the requirements of travel to Spain at the time of the event. There are currently no COVID requirements to enter Spain. As this is unpredictable, we will make a final decision just prior to the event. We are unable to provide refunds if you are denied entry because of failure to comply with the COVID-19 requirements of any destination we visit.
​
