Remote workers can carry out their functions from any location so they can book a break and continue to get their daily tasks completed.</p> <h2>Types of workcation</h2> <p>Blending work remotely with travel is a dream for many people. Thanks to modern working practices, you can enjoy different types of travel experiences while still working. For many people, this means having access to a reliable Wi-Fi network at their hotel so they can work during office hours while also being able to access fun and enriching locations during their downtime.</p> <p>Finding new perspectives is one of the <a href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/blog/top-4-reasons-why-people-travel/">reasons why people travel</a> and with workcation, this is possible now in any time of the year.</p> <p>Let’s look more closely at the different types of stay that constitute modern workcations.</p> <h2>A short-term workcation</h2> <p>As the name implies, <strong>short breaks including work typically last a few days</strong>. In some cases, they can be weekend city breaks that involve just a few admin tasks in the morning.</p> <p>However, you can also take mid-week workcations in which you’ll work from your hotel room or lobby while exploring the place you’re staying in each evening.</p> <h3>A medium-term workcation</h3> <p>Mid-term workcations can involve more travel and even a short-haul trip to another part of the continent. Some are about a week long but you could book a fortnight in a larger city and really get to know it while working during your usual allotted hours. <strong>This option is often a great way to unwind without eating into your annual leave.</strong><br /> Of course, with this modality, you will have more time to <a href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/blog/how-to-keep-a-travel-journal/">keep your travel journal</a>.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-22715" src="/en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-620x413.jpg" alt="Woman taking photo while travelling" width="620" height="413" srcset="/en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-620x413.jpg 620w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-300x200.jpg 300w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-768x512.jpg 768w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-600x400.jpg 600w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-800x533.jpg 800w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-227x152.jpg 227w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-143x96.jpg 143w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-585x390.jpg 585w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling-385x257.jpg 385w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/woman-taking-photo-travelling.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></p> <h3>A long-term workcation</h3> <p>Some people like workcations so much they make it a part of their lifestyle. If you don’t have other commitments at home, why not book a month, two months or even more? Some workers who only need to meet their colleagues online can even stay on their workcation for years before they return home.</p> <h2>The advantages and disadvantages of workcations</h2> <p>On the plus side, you get to explore somewhere new, relax more and often work better when you’re on a workcation. On the downside, being away from home can mean not having access to all your belongings and resources. In short, there is a balance to strike for each individual.</p> <h2>The advantages and disadvantages of workcations</h2> <p>On the plus side, you <strong>get to explore somewhere new, relax more and often work better when you’re on a workcation</strong>. On the downside, being away from home can mean not having access to all your belongings and resources. In short, there is a balance to strike for each individual.</p> <h2>How to plan a workcation</h2> <p>Plan your workcation by choosing a destination with the internet access you need to work and which you will enjoy exploring. Don’t stay too close to home, either. Set your budget before you leave so you know how long you’ll be able to afford to stay.</p> <h2>Catalonia Hotels & Resorts</h2> <p>A number of top <a href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en">Catalonia Hotels & Resorts</a> make for excellent workcation destinations.<br /> Named after the first hotel in the group which is in Barcelona, this family-run hotel group offers value for money with great design touches, ideal for any workcation.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-23084" src="/en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-620x413.jpg" alt="Catatalonia Suite Room with Terrace" width="620" height="413" srcset="/en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-620x413.jpg 620w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-300x200.jpg 300w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-768x512.jpg 768w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-600x400.jpg 600w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-800x533.jpg 800w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-227x152.jpg 227w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-143x96.jpg 143w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-585x390.jpg 585w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza-385x257.jpg 385w, /en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/catalonia-barcelona-plaza.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></p> <p>For example, there are six hotels in Madrid alone, a city that is well-known around the world for the cultural activities it has to offer, including the world-famous Prado art gallery. Equally, the Hotel Catalonia Berlin Mitte is just a few minutes walk from the German capital’s Museum Island, so the hotels are always in good locations for those tourists who aim to go on workcation.<br /> With so many destinations in Europe to choose from – including Brussels, Porto and Amsterdam, among others – it is no wonder these hotels are often favored for workcation stays.</p> <p>In the Caribbean, there are hotels both in the Dominican Republic and Santo Domingo.<br /> Each hotel is unique, so moving from one to the next always feels like a new destination despite the comforting familiarity of each.</p> <p>To conclude, workcation is a portmanteau term, one in which work and vacation have been fused together. <strong>With more fluid working lives and less emphasis from many employers on being physically present at the office, workcations have become more popular</strong>. If you work from home, then why not make your place of work a city you want to explore in your free time?</p> <div class="trawell-ad trawell-ad-single-bottom"><a href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/rewards?blog"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19653" src="/en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/catalonia-rewards-en620x201.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="201" /></a></div> </div> </article> </div> <aside class="trawell-sidebar"> <span class="trawell-action-close"><span>Close</span> <i class="o-exit-1" aria-hidden="true"></i></span> <div class="widget trawell-responsive-nav"> <ul> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-18655"><a href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en">Booking here</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-18656"><a href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/es/blog/">ES</a></li> </ul> <ul class="trawell-responsive-item"> <ul> <li> <form class="trawell-search-form" action="/en/blog/" method="get"><input name="s" type="text" value="" placeholder="Type here to search..." /><button type="submit" class="trawell-button trawell-button-large">Search</button> </form> </li> </ul> </ul> <ul class="trawell-responsive-item"> <ul id="trawell-menu-social" class="trawell-soc-menu trawell-soc-menu-icons"><li class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-18641"><a href="https://instagram.com/cataloniahotels/"><span class="trawell-social-name">Instagram</span></a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-18642"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CataloniaHotels/"><span class="trawell-social-name">Facebook</span></a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-18643"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSqbQGWKRp9Id3KAxKn4UIg"><span class="trawell-social-name">Youtube</span></a></li> </ul> </ul> </div></aside> </div> <div class="trawell-pre-footer"> </div> <footer class="trawell-footer"> <div class="footer-widgets container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-md-12"> <div id="text-8" class="widget widget_text"> <div class="textwidget"><h3 class="section-title h5" style="margin-bottom: 50px;"></h3> <div class="wrap-footer"> <div id="footer" class="container"> <div id="wrap-content-info"> <div><a title="Ofertas de hoteles" href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en"><img src="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/96x40.png" alt="Logo Hoteles Catalonia" style="width: 310px;"></a></div> <div class="legal"><a title="About Catalonia" href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/about-us">About Catalonia</a><a title="Destinations and Hotels" href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/our-destinations">Destinations and Hotels</a><a title="Contact" href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/contact">Contact</a><a title="Catalonia Rewards" href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/rewards">Catalonia Rewards</a><a title="Cookie policy" href="https://www.cataloniahotels.com/en/blog/cookies-policy">Cookie policy</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <div class="trawell-body-overlay"></div>    <noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-TCWBTX" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>  <script type='text/javascript'> /* <![CDATA[ */ var wpcf7 = {"apiSettings":{"root":"\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/contact-form-7\/v1","namespace":"contact-form-7\/v1"},"cached":"1"};
