Resort close to airport/solo holiday

[DeepfriedPizza]

I am hoping to go away myself for a few days. I'm looking for recommendations in Spain, Portugal, Italy Balearics etc that's not too far from the airport. Ideally around 30 mins.

I'd like somewhere with a beach that's not too rowdy.

I was thinking lanzarote as I know matagorda and a few other resorts are close to the airport but we might be going there for our summer holiday next year.
All ideas welcome, thanks

Cabanas (Portugal) about 40 minutes

First places that come to mind are Palma Nova in Majorca or Caleta de Fuste in Fuerteventura. Both within easy reach of airports and decent enough. Hope you manage to book somewhere and have a nice time

Málaga has beaches.

Valencia
Palma Nova
Dubrovnik.

Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura also here. I've holidayed there several times as a single parent. 15 mins from Airport and really good bus links if you want to explore the island or book excursions. Bus = huge air conditioned coach!

If you fancy somewhere different, per se, I can highly recommend Cavtat in Croatia. The airport is very close and it's perfect for a solo holiday (Cavtat not the airport). It literally took 8 mins in a taxi last year.

Porto has a close by airport and beaches and is lovely. I also think Malaga is underrated as a beach side city, it has Roman ruins, Picasso and modern art and it lovely to walk around.

Some really great suggestions. Thanks. It's my first solo holiday so I'm a bit nervous

Ibiza, Port des Torrents, Santa Elulia, Es Cana or Cala Nova. 40 mins on the transfer coach, quicker in a taxi around €30

Sitges south of Barcelona. It's a very gay heavy town as as a result it's super nice as a lone traveller, friendly , lovely beaches beautiful architecture. A very easy bus from the airport direct into Sitges. Approx 20 mins

Second Santa Eulalia on Ibiza: nice, safe, quiet resort half an hour from the airport.

I've been to portes des torrent before and loved it. Ibiza is a good idea all round. Will look into all your suggestions.
So far, Fuertaventura is a no go due to flight dates not working

I lived (single woman. 34-37) for a few years in Palma, Majorca. Stay near the beach just East of the airport (10/15min taxi journey) ‘Can Pastilla’. Lots of nice bars and restaurants. Safe - it is busy but that feels safe. A 10km cycle into Palma city along the beach. Had I longer than a couple of days, I’d
probably go to Soller.

Malaga is a great option, OP. It’s a lovely city plenty to see & do on a solo holiday. It has its own beaches and the whole Costa del Sol is just a bus ride away.

Second Malaga or Mallorca. If going to Ibiza I’d hop on the ferry and and go to Formentera which is heavenly.

also Cascais, Tavira or Xabia (although 90 mins from airport)

I saw a post about this recently. The resorts closest to airport were palma, Torremolinos and salon. Costa tequise in lazarote and Costa adeja in Tenerife are both about 15-20 minutes (from memory).

Malta. Anywhere in Malta!

DD did her first solo holiday to Alicante last year

Pula croatia .
Rocky beaches

Another vote for Malaga, the old town is fab.

Croatia, Dubrovnik area. Close to the airport and very safe as a solo traveller.
