In today’s non-stop world, travelers are rethinking what a vacation should look like. Instead of jam-packed itineraries and restless nights, more people are booking vacations with one goal in mind: rest. Enter the sleepcation—a new travel trend that’s putting quality sleep front and center.
What Is a Sleepcation?
A sleepcation is a getaway where the main goal isn’t sightseeing, partying, or checking off bucket-list items—it’s sleeping. Whether you’re recovering from burnout, recalibrating your sleep schedule, or simply indulging in uninterrupted rest, this type of vacation is all about prioritizing deep, restorative sleep.
Unlike traditional trips that can leave you more exhausted than when you started, a sleep-focused getaway encourages slow living, digital disconnection, and true relaxation. With studies showing that one in three adults in the U.S. don’t get enough rest, according to the CDC, it’s easy to see why these restful retreats are gaining traction.
Why People Are Choosing Sleep Over Sightseeing
The rising popularity of the sleepcation is fueled by several lifestyle shifts:
1. Remote Work and Burnout
With blurred boundaries between home and office, many people struggle to find time to recharge. A sleepcation offers an intentional break from screens, meetings, and constant notifications.
2. Wellness as a Travel Priority
As holistic wellness becomes more mainstream, travelers now recognize sleep as a vital component of self-care—on par with nutrition and fitness.
3. The Need to Unplug
A sleepcation provides the perfect excuse to put away your phone, log out of social media, and simply be. The absence of pressure and performance makes it especially appealing.
How We Designed Our Rentals for Rest
Understanding the shift in travel trends, we’ve tailored our vacation rentals specifically to support deeper rest. Here’s how we’ve created an ideal environment for your next sleepcation:
1. Luxury Bedding
Every bedroom is equipped with premium, medium-firm mattresses, breathable linens, and blackout curtains. We’ve thought through every detail to help guests fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed.
2. Mood-Boosting Lighting
Our spaces feature dimmable lights and amber-toned bulbs that support melatonin production. This makes it easier to relax at night and maintain a healthy sleep-wake cycle.
3. Quiet and Soundproofed
Thick rugs, well-insulated walls, and white noise machines help minimize disruptive sounds, turning each room into a private, peaceful oasis.
4. Soothing, Nature-Inspired Decor
Calm, earthy tones and natural textures dominate our interior design. Many properties include peaceful views of gardens or outdoor seating areas perfect for winding down.
5. Alarm-Free Zones
No clocks, no rigid wake-up calls—just the freedom to rest. We want every guest to fully embrace the slower pace that defines a true sleepcation.
6. Optional Sleep Enhancements
From aromatherapy diffusers to herbal tea stations and bedtime playlist suggestions, some homes come equipped with tools to help ease the transition into restful sleep.
