Staying home for your summer holidays has become increasingly popular over the last few years. Many people feel that they are better able to enjoy their time away from the office, at home, as it limits the amount of stressful travel and itineraries.

A staycation is a perfect way to bond with your family and friends, to throw the perfect backyard get-together and to even find some rest and relaxation. If you are lucky enough to have a hot tub in your backyard, make sure to include it in your staycation plans.

If you were thinking of including a home spa in your backyard, perhaps your staycation is the perfect time to search for hot tub deals in your area. To fully enjoy your staycation, here are some helpful tips!

1. Book Your Time

Make sure that you book enough time off work to fully engage and enjoy your time off! Commit to not answering any work-related emails while you are on staycation and let your co-workers know that your availability by phone will be minimal (or zero).

While on your staycation, you could even designate your backyard area as an electronic-free zone, so as not to distract you from your fun!

2. Prepare Your Space

If you are planning to spend the majority of your staycation outdoors, or even in your hot tub, make sure that the areas are ready for you! The last thing you want to do while on your holidays is to complete yard work.

Balance chemicals in your hot tub, mow the lawn and freshen up your patio with some new plants.

3. Go Shopping

Rather than interrupt you at home time with errands, try and make a list of all the things you will need while at home. Think about any pool chemicals you may be running low on, any special meals you want to prepare or any events you will need supplies for.

This ensures that you are ready to go when your days off come around.

4. Treat Yourself

When thinking of ways to include some luxury into your staycation, think about the experiences on vacation you would like to recreate. It may be a massage at home, a meal prepared by a professional chef, or even employing a housekeeper for a week.

These activities help to bring the resort feel home to you, for a much smaller cost.
