are not meant for solitude
Explanation:
such places are not meant for solitude

(short of: such places are not meant to be enjoyed in solitude)

Just a humble suggestion.

Loneliness vs. solitude
In other words, loneliness is a sense of isolation that persists even when other people are present. Solitude, in contrast, is the choice to be alone and use that time either for reflection or simply enjoyment in one's own company.
