Work from home holidays
Artists, makers, doers, bakers, money-makers; work from home holidays have never looked so dreamy. Find a place to write that novel, paint that masterpiece, or pull together that presentation in peace and solitude.
Some of us do our best work at home; brainstorming cross-legged on the sofa, sketching in a notebook at the breakfast table, or typing into the wee hours by candlelight. As companies embrace flexible working, the writers, number-crunchers, and CEO's of the nation seek unique places to work remotely. Enter: luxury work from home holidays. Perhaps you're heading on a family trip with the newborn and dogs in tow, and need a quiet workspace to jot down all the big ideas that a week in the countryside brings. Or maybe your romantic retreat coincides with a can't-miss conference and Wi-Fi is a non-negotiable (but Zoom-ing in from the hot tub is optional).
The beauty of remote working is this: modern folk can up sticks with their spreadsheets and paint brushes and get to work just about anywhere. Solo travellers might opt to stay at a cottage in Cornwall, composing symphonies or cracking codes by the sea. Creative couples travelling with children could lay up in a long-let, trying their hand at home-schooling in the wilderness or teaching their little ones about dinosaurs on the Jurassic Coast. If the business is within the family, gather the grandparents and the siblings for a company retreat with a twist. Think stylish studies, tranquil outhouses, and maybe even a swimming pool where you can soak away the day.
