Ever feel as if you’d really love to take a break and jet off on holiday, but your work commitments make it impossible? Yes, that’s the story for many of us, and so the ‘workation’ has become an increasingly popular trend.

These days so many of us are able to work from home comfortably, and so, if we can work from home, then really, we can work from pretty much anywhere, and that’s the whole ethos of the workation – part work, part holiday. You can take your work somewhere beautiful, somewhere warm, somewhere relaxing, just somewhere different for a much-needed change of scenery.

The main advantage of a workation is the fact that you are still working, not using up any of your holiday leave or letting colleagues down by being away, so you can be flexible, extend your stay and continue enjoying your ‘work away from work.’ It is the perfect compromise! Imagine taking a dip in your own private pool in the morning, then getting your laptop to sit in the garden or on the balcony to work for a few hours, followed by a leisurely stroll down to the beach for some lunch, and then back to your private villa for the afternoon shift. It sounds idyllic and its easily doable if you choose the right setting for your workation. You may even find that the inspirational scenery and relaxed lifestyle make you even more productive.

Choosing the best location for your workation

There are some key factors you need to consider when picking out where to stay for your workation trip. Make the right choices and you’ll find working from your holiday accommodation a true pleasure. Firstly, you’ll need space. So be sure to pick a large room, or more preferably, a villa. Opt for a villa and you’ll have a variety of different places available to you to work from to give you a change of view from time to time. Even when travelling with your family, in a spacious villa such as those available from Imagine Villas, you’ll always be able to find a quiet spot in which to work, while your family enjoys the rest of the facilities.

If you make the right choices, you will find working from your holiday accommodation a true pleasure.

1. THE SPACE – If you opt for a villa, you will have a variety of different places available to you to work from that will give you a change of view from time to time
2. THE CONDITIONS – A villa gives you the peace and privacy that you are unlikely to find in a hotel. A private garden and pool area is ideal for working without distractions and without risking your electronic devices being splashed. Even if you are travelling with family and children, in one of the spacious villas that Imagine Villa Rentals offer, you will always be able to find a quiet spot in which to work, while the family can enjoy all the other benefits of the villa and be entertained
3. THE WIFI – Good Wi-Fi, of course, is a MUST, which all of the Imagine Villas offer, and you may want to ensure and arrange that your accommodation has a desk if you prefer a traditional office-style setup.

If you choose a villa close to local amenities, you can simply nip out for a bite to eat or a walk on the beach, enjoy a few of the many interests that the island has to offer without spending too much time away from your desk during the day.
