Staycations: How they are different and why we love them.

Posted on Tue October 22, 2024.

Staycations have become a popular choice for relaxation and adventure without the hassle of long-distance travel. Instead of heading abroad, more people are opting for local getaways, where they can unwind and recharge without the stress of passports, airports and itineraries. There’s something magical about embracing your local surroundings and indulging in the luxuries that feel both familiar and refreshing. Here are a few reasons we love a staycation at Beachfront Apartments.

1. Convenient yet luxurious
A staycation offers all the perks of a vacation without the stress of long-distance travel. Located along the beautiful North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, Beachfront Apartments is just a short drive but still gives you those tropical holiday feelings. I love how I can skip the airport lines and tedious planning, jumping right into relaxation mode as soon as I arrive. While the proximity is convenient, it doesn’t mean compromising on luxury. Our apartments boast private balconies with stunning ocean views and added personalised services, like private chefs and beach picnics, that elevate your whole experience.

2. More time to relax, less time in transit
One of the reasons I cherish staycations is the ability to spend more time doing what truly matters, relaxing and recharging! Instead of spending time standing in line at Immigrations or being stuck in traffic, a staycation gives you the gift of time. Imagine this: you step onto your private veranda with a cocktail in hand, soaking in the view of whales frolicking near the shoreline, all just a few hours after you leave home.

3. Explore your own backyard
Living in KZN, I often marvel at the province's beauty, yet how often do we take the time to explore it? A staycation gives you the perfect excuse to rediscover local gems. Beachfront Apartments is just steps away from Thompson’s Bay Beach, where you can stroll along the shoreline, enjoy a dip in the tidal pool or simply unwind on the sand. I love exploring the bustling Ballito village for fresh, locally sourced meals or treating myself to a pamper day at a local spa. It’s easy to feel like a tourist in your own backyard, and I encourage you to embrace that feeling!

4. A home away from home
What I cherish most about a staycation is the comfort of familiarity. Staying at Beachfront Apartments means enjoying all the luxury of a holiday, combined with the ease of home-like comforts. Whether it’s cooking a family meal in our fully equipped kitchen, cozying up for movie nights in our comfy living areas or sinking into a plush bed that feels like your own, our apartments strike the perfect balance between comfort and indulgence.

5. Affordable luxury
Traveling internationally can come with a hefty price tag, with flights, car rentals and dining out adding up quickly. A staycation allows you to enjoy a luxurious experience without breaking the bank. At Beachfront Apartments, with eco-luxe amenities and special seasonal deals, you can treat yourself to an elevated holiday experience at a fraction of the cost of a far-flung destination.

6. Perfect for every occasion
Whether you’re treating yourself to a solo weekend of tranquility, planning a romantic mini-break with your partner or organising a family escape, Beachfront Apartments caters to every occasion. I love how our thoughtfully designed apartments range from cozy, romantic settings to larger family spaces with everything you need to keep the kids entertained.

7. Sustainable and eco-friendly
In a world where eco-conscious travel is becoming more important, staycations are a fantastic way to reduce your carbon footprint. By choosing to vacation close to home, you minimise travel emissions and support local businesses. At Beachfront Apartments, we’ve integrated eco-friendly practices to align with this ethos, offering guests a sustainable yet luxurious experience. We’re committed to keeping our beautiful coastal environment pristine for years to come.

A staycation at Beachfront Apartments isn’t just about staying local, it’s about experiencing luxury, relaxation and adventure in a whole new way. With the waves crashing just outside your door, the convenience of being close to home and the indulgence of world class amenities, you’ll find it hard to believe you didn’t have to board a plane to get here.

So why not treat yourself to the perfect staycation? Pack your bags lightly, leave the long-haul stress behind, and make Beachfront Apartments your home for a few unforgettable days.
