Learning how to work remotely and travel simultaneously takes practice. Luckily for millions of Americans, the opportunity to learn how to “workcation” is right now. Many offices are rethinking and reshaping the way that they do business, including remote working possibilities. Businesspeople, mainly parents, are also beginning to comprehend the true allure of a workcation—one that includes the whole family. Working from home while juggling tasks and parenting responsibilities is an adventure. Thus, tens of thousands of parents are hopping into cars en route to a sandy, tropical destination, such as Portofino Island, home to the finest Pensacola Beach condos.

12 Advantages of a Workcation

It’s easy to fathom why a family could exponentially grow closer together while lodging along the Gulf of Mexico’s banks, with its teal waves, refreshing breezes, and sugary beaches. At home, Mom and Dad have to find creative ways to keep the kids focused and busy. On vacation, the world is your oyster. Portofino Island’s idyllic locale naturally fosters creativity, productivity, and, yes, reinvigoration. No two workcations are alike: some involve the whole family, others are solo in nature. If the kiddos are tagging along, it’s critical to either take alternate “shifts” or, if applicable, let the eldest lead the troops to the beach for some fun under the sun. Without further ado, here are 12 unique advantages of a much-needed, well-deserved workcation:

  1. You’re essentially getting paid to vacation. Everyone wins!

  2. A unique (and distinctly tropical) setting is proven to foster creativity.

  3. The line between work and travel is often blurred, making “workdays” seem undeniably quick. And you’re always a click away if a problem arises back home.

  4. Traveling enhances morale, which eventually leads to better performance.

  5. Use your PTO; otherwise, you’ll lose it.

  6. The kids have 1,000 distractions that don’t involve Mom and Dad. And remember: Make sure that they have proper adult supervision at all times.

  7. Say, “Goodbye,” to mundanity!

  8. The family can explore the scenery, dining scene, and beach together after work and on weekends.

  9. There are no cooking responsibilities, largely because Portofino Island has an array of on-site dining options.

  10. You can pick up your work materials and move to another location at any time, whether that’s the balcony, the lobby, a cabana, a cafe, or a bar.

  11. A different perspective can offer insights into potential day-to-day improvements.

  12. Workcations instantly lower stress levels.
