5 Travel Ideas If You Want to Escape the Stress of The Holidays

 

Welcome back to The Velvet Runway and this feature about 5 Travel Ideas If You Want to Escape the Stress of The Holidays.

December is most definitely quite a hectic month. For most of us, as the holiday season approaches, the hustle and bustle of shopping, cooking, and entertaining can leave us more overwhelmed and drained than anything. And though it’s supposed to be the time for joy and celebration, stress and fatigue are lurking in the shadows, shadowing every step we take.

So, whether you’re in need of a break from the holidays to rejuvenate your spirit and escape the stress – or if you’re not someone who enjoys the festive period to begin with – this is for you. Escape it all and gift yourself some relaxation and renewal – away from all the festivities.

5 Travel Ideas If You Want to Escape the Stress of The Holidays

 

1. Embark on a Sailing Holiday

Let’s start this list off with a bang: A sailing holiday offers the perfect escape from the chaos of the holiday season. Why? Because you’re literally away from it all on the open sea. Imagine the wind in your hair, the sound of waves beneath you – and the freedom to explore pristine coastlines or tropical paradises. With just you and whoever you decide to take with you.

And festive sorrows will be landlocked. It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced sailor or completely new to it, either. Chartering a boat and setting sail is a fantastic way to recharge – and catch some sun in the last month of the year, too. Especially when looking at cruising the Greek Islands, the Caribbean, or the Mediterranean

2. Indulge in a Spa Retreat to escape the stress of the holidays

If you want a bit less adventure, why not indulge in the ultimate relaxation of a spa retreat? Many luxurious resorts around the world offer holistic spa experiences where you can unwind with whatever treatments it is that you’d like.

We wholeheartedly recommend destinations like Bali, Thailand, or the Maldives, where you can immerse yourself in their incredibly tranquil settings, whilst being pampered by professional therapists.

While a change of scenery might be something to get used to when you’re used to traditional festive seasons, it’ll definitely recharge your vitamin D to get you through the dark months back home.

3. Escape for some Mountain Isolation

Like the sailing holiday, escaping the holiday stress by heading to the mountains follows the same concept. Whether you prefer the snowy peaks of the Alps, the cosy cabins in the Rockies – or the serene beauty of the Scottish Highlands: a mountain retreat offers true peace.

If you want to embrace your adventurous side, winter activities like skiing or snowshoeing are right in front of your doorstep.

But if you want to get proper isolation out of it, nothing beats a hot tub and hot cocoa by the fire.

4.   Adventure on a Desert Getaway

You can also do a complete 180-degree turn and try to escape it all with a desert getaway. The vast and serene landscapes of these can provide an excellent opportunity to get your mind off the holiday frenzy, and glamping is one of the best ways to explore the world’s greatest deserts in comfort..

Destinations like the Sahara Desert in Morocco, the Atacama Desert in Chile or the American Southwest are stunningly beautiful and perfect for starry skies at night, unique geological formations to be explored – or, you know, there are always peaceful camel rides.

5.   Rejuvenate on a Yoga and Wellness Retreat

And, of course, yoga and wellness retreats are an excellent way to de-stress and rejuvenate both your body and mind again.

Locations like Bali, Costa Rica, and India are perfect for this and offer immersive experiences with meditation and mindfulness practices. Brilliant to unplug from the chaos at home and to focus on your inner well-being – because hand on heart, this should never suffer.
