Workation: Work and travel at the same time

Even though we all have faced big changes this year in almost every aspect, in all professions and occupations, - from teachers, students, executives, doctors, therapists, to artists and musicians -, the truth is that it has also been a time to reinvent each other, redefine ourselves and restructure, and tourism and the hotel industry are also a big part of these changes.

Had you ever imagined spending the entire day at home doing office work? This represented, among many other things, improving your technology to be online all day, buying the necessary furniture and gadgets, creating optimal working spaces, having virtual meetings, and organizing your schedule to combine work and home duties.

Little by little we found out that we could do home office anywhere in the world, in any destination and under any weather, something known today as Workation, combining work and vacation. And just now, right when we are resuming our travel plans, choosing a beach destination such as Puerto Vallarta to work and enjoy, should be on your list of ¨Best places to do home office¨, because no one had told us that we could work by the seaside, surrounded by lush jungle, rivers, or even in a hammock!

In Puerto Vallarta you can find several hotels that have been revamped for you. How? For example, many hotels are offering adaptations to their facilities and public areas so you can easily work from your new home.

You can find the ideal space, properly sanitized, and out in the open air! Plus, they have covered the issue of being able to connect to the internet faster, in enjoyable ambiances and laid-back settings where you can comfortably work without distractions.

This contemplates from common areas – practicing social distancing – to your room of course, and business centers with everything necessary to do your work.

How about breakfast close to the pool or by the beach, with your laptop or phone connected to the morning meeting? You can enjoy a light and healthy breakfast to keep going with the necessary energy, and during your lunch break you can savor the local gastronomy under the cool shade of a palm tree close to the beach. After you send the last email of the day a stunning sunset and a refreshing ocean breeze will be waiting for you.

By then, Puerto Vallarta is all yours to discover, to wander through its downtown streets and nearby areas, such as Marina Vallarta and Romantic Zone. This will certainly be different to your usual routine and we’re sure that it will recharge your energy for the following day.

So, ready to swap your living room sofa for a spot by the beach, with the sea as a companion during your home office hours?
