About Single Parents on Holiday
Single Parents on Holiday was founded in 2005 by Andrea Robinson, a single parent in full-time employment, and Sandra Martinz-Lywood, a working mum who was looking for a new challenge having set up and run her own business for many years. Frustrated with the lack of quality holidays available for single parents and their children, they founded Single Parents on Holiday from their homes. It began as, and has remained, a very personal project for Andrea and Sandra, who are as heavily involved in the business as on day 1, whether that’s negotiating hotel deals, answering the phone, or accompanying single parent holidays and, in recent years also solo holidays.
Our single parent holidays: Rather than offering budget breaks or single parent camping holidays, we wanted to offer quality holidays for single parent families. If you are a busy single mum or dad looking for quality or luxury breaks with your children and do not want to travel on your own, then our holidays are for you! Our group holidays provide adult company, friends for your children, and the support of one or more team members, who will organise every aspect of your break.
Our solo holidays: Many of our single parents told us that, with their children grown up and travelling on their own adventures, they miss the fun and companionship our single parent holidays offered them for many years. We listened and created a small range of solo holidays for our single parent empty nesters and anyone else lacking a travel buddy. You don’t have to be a parent, of course, or even single: If you are a solo traveller, looking for company on holiday, you are the perfect fit! Our solo holidays now attract many solo travellers in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s.
There are many benefits in booking a group holiday with Single Parents on Holiday:
Peace of Mind: Escorted Group Holidays
Not only will you benefit from the company of other single parent families (or solo travellers if you choose a solo holiday), but you will also have a totally hassle-free holiday if you book with us. We organise your trip months in advance, and every detail is carefully checked before your departure. All our trips are accompanied by a member of our team: your tour leader. They arrive ahead of time to ensure everything is in place for the group’s arrival. You will be warmly welcomed and introduced to all the other travellers. Your tour leader will organise everything from airport transfers to daily activities and group dinners, so that you can have a relaxed and memorable holiday. 
Quality: Top Accommodation & Service
We take great care when selecting our hotels and destinations – quality is our motto! All of our hotels are either family-run boutique hotels or 4- and 5-star hotels with excellent facilities, which usually include a kids club, pool, spa, and gym. Our team members who accompany our small families on holiday are very friendly and experienced and often speak the local language. They are passionate about their role and are fully committed to providing the best holiday experience to single parents and solo travellers alike. You might pay less with TUI (or not, depending on when or what you book), but you will not have the personal service nor the company of other single parent families throughout your holiday.
Happy Customers & Fond Memories
We pride ourselves in providing the best single parent holiday on the market. Our single parents and solo travellers include many repeat customers who travel with us year after year. We highly value their feedback as we continuously strive to improve our holidays. Both adults and children tell us again and again that their holiday with us was “the best holiday ever”. We love creating happy holiday memories, which are captured in our beautiful photo galleries, and reading the wonderful holiday reviews we receive.
Our group holidays offer so much more than companionship, quality accommodation and stunning locations. We offer the best service in the market: from honest and personal advice starting with that first phone call and hands on support during your hholiday to fond memories and life-long friendships when you are back home.
