Change your View
Change the trains, cars, and supermarkets of your everyday life for stunning views of azure seas, rugged cliffs, and pristine sands. Instead of walking to the station, it’s time to walk from your hotel to the beach, with a picnic replacing your laptop bag. Taking a step out of the ordinary can do wonders for your mindset, allowing you to reset, recharge, and dive back into everyday life with fond memories of that cocktail at sunset powering you on.
Vitamin Sea
The sun and sea have been found to have some fantastic properties in helping us stay fit and healthy, physically and mentally. Vitamin D from the sun can improve your immune system, lower blood pressure, and boost moods. While getting in the sea for surf therapy has been found to improve mental wellbeing, with the physical and highly sensory experience helping us disconnect from our troubles and increase positivity.
The Great Outdoors
Help clear your mind of the constant bombardment from phones, laptops, and tablets. Leave the screens at home, head out to the beach, and connect more with your surroundings and the people around you. Breathe in that fresh sea air. Take in the stunning coastal views. And feel the salty breeze on your skin.
Make Waves
If you can’t sit still on holiday, the beach offers a multitude of opportunities for sports and adventurous activities. From strolls along the coast and a dip in the ocean, to more high-octane pursuits like parasailing and kite surfing, there really is something for every type of holiday maker to keep their bodies and minds active. And with our partner Tripbeat’s
incredible savings on over 345,000 activities worldwide, you can do more water sports, coastal tours, and cruises for less. So, grab your running shoes and surfboard, head to the beach, and get some of those sun-fuelled endorphins.
Sleep Soundly
Doing all that exercise and even laying around in the sun all day can be tiring work, so you’re sure to get some deep sleep and catch up on those z’s. The beach itself is a good place to get some shuteye, with comfy sun loungers, warm coastal breezes, and the gentle sea waves lapping on the shore lulling you to sleep. Just be sure to stick to the shade for your snooze to avoid any unwanted burning.
You Time
On holiday there’s no work, no cleaning, and no errands that need running. All there is, is you, the beach, and a full day ahead of whatever you want to do. Read that book, listen to that podcast, make that massive sandcastle with your kids. With our partner Tripbeat’s discounted flights, you can fly a lot further for less. The world really is your oyster when it
comes to beach holidays, so do whatever makes you happy.
Sun, sea, and sand provide the perfect backdrop for taking some time to stop and take stock of your mental health. With a beach holiday, you can do whatever you want without the pressures of daily life, while topping up on things that have been found to boost moods, like extra sleep and vitamin D.
