About Cabo Polonio for Solo Travelers
A remote dune village with no electricity, a lighthouse, and a sea lion colony — solo travelers come to Cabo Polonio specifically to disappear from the internet and find one of South America's last genuinely off-grid escapes.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Cabo Polonio is one of South America's most remote and off-grid beach communities — no electricity (generators only), 4WD trucks are the only way through the dunes, and the sea lion colony on the rocks is extraordinary. This is a genuine solo retreat destination; bring books, a headlamp, and no agenda. The lack of Wi-Fi and electricity is the whole point. Best in November–March.

Best Food & Drink in Cabo Polonio for Solo Travelers
Showing 1 spot in Food & Drink
La Perla del Cabo
Food & Drink
A beachfront hotel and restaurant running since 1970, a few steps from Playa La Calavera, whose kitchen serves the most refined food on the cape — fresh fish and local produce with Mediterranean and Asian touches. It's pricier than the village's simple eateries, but a memorable dinner with the sound of the waves.
