Here, a fully loaded resort such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/hotel-detail\/waldorf-astoria-monarch-beach-resort-club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach<\/a> makes it especially no-brainer. The full-service Beach Club will set you up with a chair, umbrella and towels, as well as equipment and expert instructors when you want to get out on the water. You can also learn to golf or improve your game by booking a Golf Board Tour (to \u201csurf\u201d around the course on a kind of electronic skateboard) and tacking on a lesson. With a spa and seven restaurants onsite, you can really hunker down, but those looking to explore more can easily rent a car on arrival at the airport, or simply Uber from A to B.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-initial-button-design\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/hotel-detail\/waldorf-astoria-monarch-beach-resort-club\"><span class=\"mb-text\">VIEW HOTEL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"gallery-lightbox__carousel-item\">\n<p>4 \/11<\/p>\n<p>                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/passport-cdn.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/drive\/uploads\/2024\/03\/011294-06-Conrad-London-St-James-The-Pem-credit-Time-Green-4-Conrad-London-693x390.jpg\" alt=\"solo travel - Conrad London St. James, United Kingdom\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>London, U.K.\u00a0<\/strong> |Conrad London St. James                        <\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI\u2019d go back just to eat my way around town,\u201d says Kiwi Collection\u2019s Account Manager, Hotel Programs, Dabira Chhabra. \u201cWhile it can be awkward dining alone, I didn\u2019t feel that in London.\u201d A meal here takes on extra special meaning at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/hotel-detail\/conrad-london-st-james\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conrad London St. James<\/a>, particularly every week through the month of March, as The Pem\u2019s award-winning Chef Sally Ab\u00e9 hosts an International Women\u2019s Day dinner series collaborating with renowned chefs, Romy Gill MBE, Candice Brown, Poppy O\u2019Toole and Chantelle Nicholson.
