about Workations
General
A Workation by theWorkationers combines work, inspiration, relaxation and personal development in a remarkable location that suits your needs. You are not simply working somewhere else, but consciously working on something that matters to you or your team.
Every Workation is fully tailored to you. With the Workation Profile Self-Test, we identify the ideal balance between the three dimensions of a richer and better working life. This WLTD-Method is scientifically based on Life in Three Dimensions by Shigehiro Oishi (2025): Inspire. Enjoy. Grow.
The practical details need to work too. Fast Wi-Fi for Zoom or Teams meetings? A spacious workspace for team sessions? Or a great restaurant to round off the day? Our Workation Experts translate your profile into the right accommodation and carefully selected TWKTS Experiences.
The result is not simply a working holiday in a beautiful setting, but a Workation that truly works for you!
A Workation helps you or your team shape work and life more consciously. A new environment creates space for more energy, focus, connection, inspiration and growth.
You work on what truly matters, while gaining new experiences and using your annual leave more strategically — or saving it for later.
This makes a Workation more than a temporary change of scenery. It becomes a way of working that gives energy rather than taking it away, while meeting what today’s professionals value most: autonomy, flexibility, wellbeing and development. For organisations, it is also a powerful expression of good employment practices and employer branding.
Inspire. Enjoy. Grow.
Workations that work for you.
Absolutely! A Workation caters to anyone seeking an optimal balance between work and personal life, desiring inspiration for new projects or creative ideas, and who wants to combine adventure and travel with work, without having to sacrifice your holiday days straight away.
Workations are suitable for both salaried employees and entrepreneurs or freelancers. If you can work independently of location, a Workation can be tailored for you.

We first help you or your team discover what you want to work on, then translate those insights into a Workation that works for you in every way — in terms of its content, practical arrangements and personal details.
- A personal Workation Profile
With our free Workation Profile Self-Test, you discover which balance of Inspire, Enjoy and Grow best suits you or your team. The Self-Test lies at the heart of our scientifically inspired WLTD Method — Work-Life in Three Dimensions — and reveals which Power Blocks could add the greatest value to a richer and more rewarding work and personal life. - A tailor-made Workation Plan
Our Workation Experts translate your profile, goals, budget and preferences into a personalised Workation Plan. You receive three carefully selected accommodations, suitable destinations and TWKTS Experiences that align with what you want to achieve. - Knowledge of extraordinary places worldwide
Our Experts combine in-depth destination knowledge with a global network of local partners, hosts and specialists. This enables us to find not only the well-known highlights, but also the places, people and experiences you would be less likely to discover on your own. - TWKTS Private Experiences
For special access, exclusive tailor-made arrangements or experiences that cannot normally be booked, we organise TWKTS Private Experiences. Think of a private boat, an intimate dinner or workshop with renowned Michelin-starred chefs from the region, personal masterclasses, expert-led training sessions or exclusive access through our local business network. - Work facilities that truly work
Fast and reliable Wi-Fi, comfortable workspaces and accommodations suitable for focused work, online meetings and team sessions. Because an ocean view is wonderful, but an unreliable connection feels slightly less tropical. - Inspire, Enjoy and Grow at your destination
From sport, wellness and nature to culture, local gastronomy, personal development and business inspiration. Every experience is selected to contribute to the balance and goals identified in your Workation Profile. - Personal support and travel protection
You can rely on personal support before, during and after your Workation. You also book with clear agreements and added travel protection through our memberships of VZR Garant, the Calamiteitenfonds and the VVKR.
The result is not a collection of separate travel components, but one carefully curated Workation that truly works for you or your team.
Uncertain about the perfect location for your Workation? No problem — that's our speciality! Through our personalised advice, we curate the ideal Workation based on your preferences, paying attention to every detail.
Work and relaxation?
The duration of a Workation can vary widely, depending on personal preferences and professional commitments.
In general, Workations can span from seven days to several weeks or even months. We recommend at least two weeks. Some opt for a week of work and relaxation, while others choose a full month (or more) in a different location to bring out their best.
One of the best parts of a Workation is flexibility in scheduling. You have the freedom to choose your work and leisure schedule. Here are some tips for finding a good balance:
- Set clear working hours: Plan your working hours in advance to maintain a separation between work and free time.
- Create a to-do list: Organize and prioritize your work with a daily to-do list to enhance focus and efficiency.
- Plan free time activities: Allocate time for enjoyable and relaxing activities, such as exploring the area, sports, or cultural experiences.
- Be flexible and relax: All work and no play? Not on our watch! Go frolic in the waves or climb a tree in the jungle. You’re on a Workation, after all!
- Take our Workation Self-Test: Using the WLTD Method, your Workation Profile Self-Test identifies exactly which of the nine Power Blocks across Inspire, Enjoy and Grow you need most.
Absolutely! A new environment is prime for stimulating new ideas, fresh thinking, and boundless amounts of energy. The world is calling your (or your employees) names — and what better reward for completing a project than jumping in the ocean, trying an exotic new food, or doing an exhilarating activity?
Payment
We aim to make Workations accessible to everyone by offering three different packages at the best possible prices. Each package is developed into a complete tailor-made Workation Plan, including three different accommodation options and suitable TWKTS Experiences. Additional TWKTS (Private) Experiences outside the package can be added at an extra cost.
In each personal Workation plan, we create a tailor-made estimate of the business deductible costs after the €90 payment and the personal intake.
Organized travel offers numerous advantages compared to booking independently, including easier tax deductibility and significant additional benefits. These benefits include coverage for all risks associated with bankruptcies and emergencies —whether related to transportation or the location itself. This ensures that you won't lose your invested money or time, which can often be the case with private bookings when things go wrong.
That’s why theWorkationers is affiliated with VZR Garant, the Calamiteitenfonds and VVKR. Find out more about our travel guarantees.
Most Workation experiences exclude transfers. However, if you'd like this extra service included, let us know, and we will happily find the best ticket for you, which is also fully covered under the 100% Travel Guarantee!
Absolutely. Based on your Workation Profile, we recommend suitable TWKTS Experiences that align with your goals, preferences and Power Blocks. Depending on the package you choose, certain Experiences may already be included.
Additional TWKTS Experiences can always be added at an extra cost. For exclusive access, personalised arrangements or experiences that are not easy to book yourself, we offer TWKTS Private Experiences. Think of a private boat, an intimate dinner with a top chef, a personal masterclass or access through our local network.
This allows you to decide exactly how extensive and extraordinary your Workation will be.
