Frequently asked questions

A Workation is a unique blend of work and leisure, enabling you and your team to work in inspiring locations while relishing a relaxed and adventurous atmosphere. 

Every Workation is bespoke, planned for your requirements and interests. Fast Wi-Fi for video Zoom or Teams calls? Got it. A desk large enough for meetings? We’re on it. Incredible food to end the day with? We’ve tried it and we’ll give you the top tips. 

A Workation offers countless benefits, including fostering a better work-life balance, enhancing creativity and productivity, and immersing oneself in new cultures and environments.

For companies, a Workation is ideal for team outings, hackathons, strategy sessions, or training. Remember, happy employees are pivotal to success — they exhibit longevity, perform highly, and radiate positivity to customers and potential talent.

Even better, a fresh environment allows the most innovative ideas to come to life, ideas that could remain undiscovered in your familiar workplace.

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.

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.

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!

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?

We aim to make Workations accessible to everyone, offering three different packages with varying budgets. Each package is developed into a complete customised Workation plan including 3 different accommodation options. Additional services outside your package can be added for a fee.

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.

TheWorkationers has deliberately chosen to join the mandatory industry organizations for travel specialists in the Netherlands, ANVR/VvKR. This ensures that you travel safely with a certified travel expert. In addition to reliability and quality, this affiliation offers the following benefits:

1. Travel Guarantee in case of bankruptcy or other reasons preventing the agreed theWorkationers travel packages from being carried out: you are assured of a refund of any prepaid travel expenses.
   
   
2. Our mandatory business liability insurance with the Calamiteitenfonds (Calamity Fund) also covers:
   • Guarantee in case of emergencies during travel and stay
   • Reimbursement of unexpected additional costs related to travel and accommodation
   • Compensation for unused travel days

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: your personal Workation plan includes suggested activities like bicycle rental, snorkelling, a sports subscription, or the option of a personal work hub. But also various cultural and culinary gems. You can add and book them yourself under “Extra services". You can also specify any wishes. After all, our goal at theWorkationers is to ensure you have the Workation of your dreams!
