SZABADIDŐ: How to Make the Most of a Staycation

Vacations are vital to your mental health. The benefits of getting away, taking a break, and relaxing are limitless. But it isn’t always easy to jet off to an exotic location. That’s why staycations are so great. They provide many of the same benefits as a regular vacation but are less time-consuming and cost less money. 

If you’re ready to take the plunge and chill out, here are some of the best tips to enjoy your staycation. No matter where you live. 

1) Look for Deals. Many local hotels and resorts offer residents great deals during the off-season. In some places, resorts have amazing deals during the extremely hot summer, specifically designed to entice locals to stay.  Check out your local resorts to find out if they offer any sweet deals for locals. 

2) Take Advantage of the Amenities. Does the resort have an amazing spa? Is there an incredible pool? What kind of benefits does the hotel offer? Be sure to utilize all the amenities to their fullest potential. This is your time to unwind and relax, so book that massage at the spa. 

3) Become a Tourist. A great way to get the most out of your staycation is by just pretending to be a tourist in your city. Look up tourist hotspots or even ask the front desk for recommendations. There are hidden gems in every city that are right under your nose. You would be surprised what you’re able to find. 

4) Splurge on Dinner. Find a fancy restaurant near or within the hotel and treat yourself to an amazing meal. Vacations are always about finding the best food, so be sure to indulge with a great dinner. Or breakfast or lunch! 

5) Turn Off the Phone. Unplug from your phone while you’re on your staycation. Turn it on Do Not Disturb or leave it in the room while you go out and explore. Take the opportunity to unplug. 

With these five tips, you’re well on your way to having an amazing staycation no matter where you’re located.
