    1. Avoid boutique-style 'romantic' hotels that will be full of loved-up couples. Singles stand out like a sore thumb there.
    2. Stay in a resort big and popular enough to stand a chance of having other singles. Anywhere too small and niche is unlikely to be viable unless you mingle with locals (assuming they/you speak the lingo).
    3. Doing "backpacker" type trips (e.g. island-hopping in Greece) is great because you will bump into plenty of groups and other solo travellers along the way. Plus not staying in the same place the entire trip means if you get unlucky and don't find anyone in one place, you move on and try somewhere else.


    There are more up-market singles holiday companies like Flash Pack, that supposedly cater to the more professional/mature person but I've not tried them myself - a bit scared they'll be full of left-wing hippie types wanting to "find themselves" in a rainforest in Guatemala
