Let’s go on a workation! Work remotely and enjoy the destination your way!
Trying to balance holidays and work? Welcome to the best place in the world for your workations: the Canary Islands!
Would you swap your “traditional” holidays for logging out in the city… and logging back in the next day from the Canary Islands? More travelers are choosing to work remotely from a different destination — and spend their afternoons making the most of everything the islands have to offer.
Discover the benefits of combining focus, productivity, and coffee in the morning with outdoor living, plans, and sunshine in Tenerife and Gran Canaria in the afternoon.
What are workations and why are they worth it?
Being able to balance your daily responsibilities with doing what you love in the afternoons — without using your vacation days? Yes, it exists, and it’s called a workation!
And this lifestyle offers much more than the obvious perk of logging off in Madrid and logging back in from your room terrace overlooking the islands. Even the spreadsheet says it all makes sense!
– A boost to your productivity, thanks to the motivation of having an amazing plan waiting for you once you close your laptop.
– No need to use vacation days — you simply swap your shoes for flip-flops while you work, making it easier to spend quality time with your people without turning holiday planning into a game of Tetris.
– And it reconnects you with your motivation, not only by breaking your routine, but by giving you the chance to enjoy a completely different environment after work.
If you plan it well, you can enjoy it all
If you can create the perfect itinerary to make the most of your holidays… you can also organize yourself to stay productive from 8 to 5 and feel alive from 6 onwards!
Here are a few tips to help you switch from full focus mode to full enjoy mode once your workday is over:
– Choose a comfortable, bright workspace separated from your rest area so you can truly disconnect afterward.
– Set clear and consistent working hours.
– Organize your tasks by priority, from most to least difficult, to avoid procrastination.
– Alternate focused work sessions with short breaks.
– And don’t lose touch with the office — virtual coffee chats with your coworkers are a great way to stay connected.
