Vacations are all about relaxation, but sometimes really taking the time to unwind can be tricker than you might think. If a moment of calm is what you’re after, we’ve got some great tips for you.
Prepare for a wonderful vacation where you actually get a chance to relax, take some time for yourself and recharge those batteries, leaving you feeling fresh and ready to take on the world. These are the tips you should know about if you’re in need of a relaxing vacation.
And let’s face it, who isn’t?
If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to bring you crashing back down to Earth with a thump when you’re enjoying a relaxing vacation, it’s a huge hotel or food bill.
Money worries have no place on vacation. They’re always going to bring a sharp end to a relaxing day. So, we’ve got one tip for you if you want to know how to really relax on vacation: book an all inclusive package!
All inclusive vacations mean you can forget room charges and bar bills. You can forget paying extra for watersports
and activities. You can even forget hidden charges like taxes. It really is a no brainer.
Great all inclusive packages, like the ones Sandals offers its guests, really do take care of everything. So, every single thing that you might possibly want while on vacation, is already paid for and dealt with.
If you're staying at a family resort, like one of the Beaches resorts, you’ll never have to say no to your kids when they ask for an ice cream. You’ll never have to forgo an extra cocktail at the bar and when it comes to dinner time, you can push the boat out with a three course feast every single night!
At Sandals, one upfront charge covers luxurious accommodations as well as alcoholic and soft drinks, premium spirits, gourmet cuisine at a range of top quality restaurants, excellent service, and more.
Really, what more could you want out of a relaxing vacation?
You work too hard to be answering emails when you're in paradise. You don't have to completely abandon your phone - you just have to ignore all the work apps.
Using your phone to take some Instagram shots of your beautiful surroundings is enjoyable, but no one likes when a romantic dinner is interrupted by calls and texts from your boss. You need to take this time to unwind.
If there's one thing that can get in the way of a relaxing vacation, it's work. Don't let it happen. Keep your distance, set boundaries for yourself and try to put it out of your mind completely if you can. How often do you get to completely unplug from your work life?
Focus on your surroundings. Appreciate the time off you have. Turn the email autoresponder on. Relax.
Your choice of destination matters. There are some places in the world where you don’t have to make an effort to relax, it just happens. Take the islands of the Caribbean, for example. These destinations are perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing beach vacation.
All you need to do is step off the plane in Barbados and you’ll feel your worries melt away. Likewise, when you gaze across the white sand beaches of the Bahamas, you’ll probably feel more relaxed than you have in years!
These are just two recommendations for the most relaxing vacation options. There’s a lot to be said about your vacation destination if you’re trying to create a relaxing break, so take the time to think about your choices before you book.
Exercise might not be your first choice if you’re trying to relax, but trust me on this one. The rush of endorphins you get from exercise can bring on a total sense of peace and calm.
A good workout is a great way to start the day, and it’ll give you plenty more room to tuck into that fabulous all-inclusive hotel breakfast too!
Kick off the day with a healthy workout and you’ll spend the rest of the day feeling proud as punch as you relax and recharge on the beach.
Ask your concierge for extra pillows. Some hotels even offer bodypillows. Hanna from Schlaf Guru explained that better hotels will have more options for you that can help you to get a good night's sleep. She also noted that if you're in a hotel rewards program you can pre-select bedding preferences so that your hotel will know what you prefer before you even arrive.
If you find yourself getting itchy feet while on vacation, it can ruin the relaxing vibes you’ve got going on. After all, vacations are about more than just taking a moment to relax on a beach.
At Sandals resorts you’ll never be bored, because there are hundreds of exciting activities to choose from. If you’re headed to the Caribbean, it’s a great opportunity to try watersports.
Stand up paddle boarding is a fun, relaxing way to spend an afternoon relaxing on vacation. It’s a great way to tone up, too!
If speed is more your thing, you could opt for one of the many motorized watersports. And if you’ve got your eye on a real Caribbean adventure, why not try scuba diving?
Islands like St. Lucia offer amazing hiking trails through the rainforest, giving visitors an amazing opportunity to be at one with nature and embrace their surroundings.
So, if lying on a sunbed all day isn’t for you, why not grab your hiking boots and hit the trails?
If a moment of calm is just what the doctor ordered, there’s no better way to relax than by taking a break on a tropical island!
Follow our tips on relaxing and you’ll be a pro when it comes time to take another trip. Whether you’re a beach bum, a keen scuba diver or a rainforest explorer, we’ll be able to find the perfect relaxing vacation for you.
