Slow Down. Immerse Deeply. Experience More in 2026
/Why 2026 Is the Year for Slow, Immersive Travel
In a world where travel has become fast, rushed, and checklist-driven, 2026 invites us to rethink the way we explore. Instead of racing through destinations, more travelers are seeking slow travel, meaningful cultural connection, and immersive travel experiences that leave a lasting impact and memories.

At Sole Dream Holidays, we’ve spent over a decade crafting one-of-a-kind retreats but we believe the future of travel goes so much deeper. It’s not just about booking a retreat; it’s about embracing experiential travel that transforms you from the inside out.
In 2026, our intention is simple:
We want to guide you into journeys that expand your heart, slow your pace and connect you deeply to the places you visit.
What it means to us to travel intentionally:
Connecting with local culture and people
Spending quality time in each destination
Savoring every landscape and moment
Traveling sustainably and respectfully
Embracing experiences that create real transformation
We see more and more travelers that are seeking retreats that feel purposeful, restorative and unforgettable. And that’s exactly what we intend to create for you!
