19th November 2021

People have discovered the range of benefits of staycations during COVID-19 and experts predict that the popularity of this type of holiday will remain even after the pandemic has ended. Searches for ‘staycation’ increased by a staggering 83% between June 2020 and June 2021 and people are planning these trips throughout the year. They can be a great idea for a couple looking to get away and spend quality time together, so read on for a few tips for planning a romantic staycation with your partner.

Choose a Location Together

First, you will want to decide on a location and your accommodation. It is a good idea to do this together so that you can choose somewhere that you will both enjoy. There are many great romantic options for staycations in the UK, such as spa locations that offer couple deals. This can be super relaxing and a great way to spend quality time together and recharge your batteries. You can also turn your hotel room into a love nest with a flower display, electronic candles and a hamper filled with chocolates, snacks, and champagne.

For those seeking an unforgettable romantic getaway, consider the lodges with hot tubs at Holiday Resort Unity in Brean Sands, Somerset, offering the perfect blend of luxury and privacy, ideal for couples looking to create special memories together.

Handle Logistics Beforehand

You do not want your romantic trip ruined by complications with transport. Arranging transport in advance is key to making sure that everything runs smoothly and to reduce stress. Perhaps adding a touch of luxury, like booking first class train tickets, would make the trip even more special and comfortable and removes the hassle of driving.

Book Experiences

On a romantic staycation, it is a good idea to have a few activities lined up that you will both enjoy. This will help you to enjoy yourselves, create new memories and have some fun on the trip. You will need to consider the kind of activities and experience that you and your partner would enjoy whether this is hiking, going to the theatre, wine tasting or eating in a classy restaurant. You should have a few options for each day but also have flexibility in case you do not feel like doing much.

Don’t Spend Every Moment Together

It is a misconception that you should spend every waking moment together and, in fact, this could lead you to get on each other’s nerves when it is just the two of you. On a staycation, it is perfectly healthy to spend some time by yourself whether this is going for a walk, going to the gym, reading a book or enjoying a long bath.
