Cross out that far-flung destination in your list and go for a stress-free holiday that’s just right outside your doorstep. Here are four staycation ideas for every type of lazing around you can think of.

1. Just For Babymooners: Azumi

If you’re expecting a little angel to keel your life over in a few months, then take a break even before the hustle. Mosey over to Azumi Boutique Hotel located in Alabang. Azumi takes into account your clean and green needs with aesthetics that utilize Japanese technology. Their Daiken Healthy Ceiling sops up sounds, heat, and moisture. ECOCARAT “breathing tiles” are made from natural materials that absorb humidity, foul odors, and harmful substances. You can also swim worry-free in Azumi’s saltwater infinity lap pool. It’s the pre-parenthood vacay you need that’s just in the neighborhood.

2. Foodies For Thought: Nobu Hotel

Black Cod Miso, buttery cod embraced in delicately sweet miso sauce, is a recipe by celebrity Chef Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa that has foodies infatuated the world over. We’ve seen magazines feature it, other chefs imitate it, and Martha Stewart rave about it. It’s just one of Chef Nobu’s must tries from his Japanese Peruvian cuisine, and it’s yours for the taking in Nobu Hotel, City of Dreams. Don’t limit your experience by just dining in Nobu Restaurant; the hotel gives us more reasons to check in with their special in-room dining menu (Nobu specialties and drinks right in your room!). And the lavish and modern Japanese-inspired interiors? That’s icing on the cake.

3. Mom’s Day Off: Peninsula

Are you working in a multi-skill and demanding job with 24-hour shifts and no weekends? In short, are you a mother? The Peninsula Manila salutes you with a day off you so, so deserve – the MomMeCation Package. How does this sound to you: a beauty gift from Rustan’s Department Store; a 60-minute supervised workout followed by an hour-long Swedish or Shiatsu massage; P1,000 food and beverage credit at The Lobby; themed cocktails in Salon de Ning; and finally, an indulgent buffet breakfast before heading back to the kiddos. Yup, we thought so. Now go make that reservation!

4. Work It!: Ascott BGC

Working holiday: it’s an obvious contradiction, but it’s reality for most of us! And when you’re hankering for that much needed R&R and you still have tons to do, here’s a solution you can live with: a staycation at Ascott BGC. Manage to finish your work with Ascott’s suite of efficient business support services (business center, courier, and secretarial services along with well-equipped meeting rooms). After so, fire up the outdoor barbecue grill and call the friends for a well-deserved poolside letup and nightcap. Win-win!
