When it comes to vacations, sometimes a getaway to a distant location just isn’t feasible — time and money can limit your ability to travel. But don’t let these concerns ruin your holiday. Have a staycation and re-experience your own neck of the woods.
You can have a relaxing and rejuvenating time without jetting off to a tropical paradise. Start by setting a no-screens rule. While it is difficult to unplug, taking time away from computers and even cell phones will be a welcome change of pace. Avoid being pulled into the 24/7 work week by setting a vacation message on your work email and selectively accepting phone calls.
Vacation is about changing your routine, experiencing new things and indulging a little. Now is the perfect time to try that restaurant you’ve been eyeing, to try an ambitious new recipe or to catch up on your beach reading list. Invite friends on a day trip or have a relaxed dinner party.
With a little imagination, your backyard can be an oasis and your bathtub a luxury spa. The key to having a successful staycation is to fully commit to it. Get yourself in the vacation state of mind and you’re sure to “return” more rejuvenated.

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.
