Because it’s good for the mind, body, and soul
The pandemic has changed the travel landscape globally - air travel has become stricter (f not entirely unavailable) and inter-city travel increasing in difficulty with community quarantine guidelines in place. But now that the country is slowly transitioning to less restrictive protocols, a lot of Filipinos have started to look forward to their vacations after being cooped up for nearly half a year.
While many are planning road trips or quick getaways to the beach, we’re sharing with you ten reasons why staycations should be your first choice:
NOTE: Be aware of hotel regulations and safety protocols before your visit.
1. Easy to plan
All you really have to do is look for a hotel and go! No need to do research for itinerary and no need to whip out a calculator to do budgeting - especially with Klook's exclusive staycation packages!
2. Minimal packing only
Staycations are typically done just over a short period of time, so you definitely don’t need to pack for a big bag full of clothes and shoes! Most hotels also prepare amenities such as toiletries, beauty tools and room slippers to name a few - so you can leave these behind, too!
3. Easy to practice social distancing
Until a vaccine is widely available, social distancing is our way of life. With hotel staycations, you’ll spend the majority of your time inside your hotel room by yourself or with your loved ones, so you’ll find it easy to practice social distancing from strangers!
4. Saves time and money
Staycations are vacations that will save you time and money. In most cases, staycations are either within a close proximity from your home, or a couple of hours away at most so transportation costs are kept at a minimum.
You can also save a lot of money when you book with Klook. Not only are you saving costs with Klook’s exclusive hotel staycation deals (up to 50%), but a number of hotels are offering free food credits and complimentary meals as part of the packages!
5. Refreshes the body and mind
The beauty of a staycation is that you’re encouraged to indulge in rest - room services, amenities are all just a phone call away, allowing you to have a hassle-free and relaxing time off. This time off is exactly what your body and mind needs, so take this time to take a break and destress!
We’ve got a number of hotel accommodations in Manila for you to choose from - with deals up to 50% off! Whichever you choose, we’re sure it’ll be a relaxing one!

6. You can go on one any time of the year
Staycations are the absolute best getaway options for last minute trips. Forget about pre-planning and packing - this type of vacation can be booked whatever the season, weather, or occasion! Similarly, if you just need a break, a staycation is the ultimate antidote. Lessen the stress, and book your staycations at a discounted rate only on Klook!
7. Boosts creativity
Time away from your day to day activities is exactly what you need to boost creativity, hence why staycations is a great opportunity to recuperate from burnout or lack of creativity. Make time for a good restful weekend and your creative juices will start flowing!
8. You don’t need to apply for a work leave
Going hand in hand with the ‘no planning’ bit, you also won’t need to apply for a leave of absence to go on a staycation over the weekend! Similarly, if you’re planning to schedule your staycation during the work week, you can work from home from a luxurious suite!
9. The best for bonding with loved ones
You will be spending at least 24 hours with your staycation buddies in a hotel room so there’s really nothing much you can do but enjoy each other’s company. Whether you indulge in a food feast or a movie marathon, a hotel staycation encourages a proper bonding experience with your family or friends.
10. You can help the local economy
With most of the countries entering a recession due to the pandemic, this is the time for us to support local businesses to help move the economy. When you choose to go on a staycation, you help contribute to our own communities!
