When you need a break from your day-to-day routine but aren’t ready to shell out money on airfare, hotels and other pricey vacation expenses, a staycation can be the perfect solution. Unwind without breaking the budget with these staycation ideas.
Visit Area Attractions
Whether it’s a museum, a nearby brewery, a great national park or even a sporting game, chances are high that there are several attractions close by you’ve skipped because you’ll “get around to it.” Now’s the time to explore these local gems.
Unplug from Devices
Take a break from the daily grind by turning off your smartphone, putting an “out of office” message for work emails and skipping the weekend news reports. The less distractions your way, the better.
Wine and Dine
No need to travel around the world to get your culinary fix. Try a new-to-you dish at a local ethnic restaurant for a wallet-friendly global meal. If you prefer something more familiar, consider having it delivered right to your door. Spend the extra time out of the kitchen doing something fun.
Check Your Local Calendar
Is there an upcoming festival, concert, or event you’re interested in? It could be the perfect way to jam-pack your staycation with quality entertainment at a low cost. Scan local blogs and community calendars to see what’s coming up in your area.
Take Time for What You Love
Do you have a stack of books you’ve been waiting to dig into? Or maybe there’s a bike route you’ve just been waiting for the right time to cycle through. Use your staycation as an opportunity to catch-up on quality time doing the things you genuinely enjoy.

Stay at Kona Village on the Big Island of Hawai’i and you may think your experience consists solely of private, residential-style luxury and perhaps the occasional fresh pineapple, but Rosewood Resort has something else a little special. More specifically, Kona Village has its very own Mai Tai Mile, where guests can find four unique and different takes on the Mai Tai. Each distinct drink is inspired by its setting and comes with its own story.
