Vacations are a special time for us to leave the real world behind and do things we enjoy. Everyone has a different vacation style, which helps make the tough decision of where to visit. Some of us enjoy adventurous getaways jam packed with activities. Others love to do nothing but hit the beach and relax in solitude. If you’re not sure how to spend your time away, here are some ideas for vacation activities fit for each trip style.
For the Laid Back Vacation
Hitting the Beach
Beach vacations have recently been surveyed as the most popular trip option. Booking a beachfront resort or private villa is the guaranteed path to a relaxing, sun soaked vacation. Staying close to the beach allows you to lie on the sand, enjoy the ocean, and recharge as much as possible. Private villas in popular beach destinations like Jamaica, St. Bart’s, and Barbados will provide you with the peaceful vacation you’re dreaming of.

Catamaran cruise
Spending the day on a catamaran cruise is a great way to enjoy scenery in a totally relaxing environment. Catamarans feature a trampoline lounge area where guests can kick back and feel the splashing ocean waves. Seaduced Luxury Catamaran in Barbados is a great option for a luxury twist on Catamaran cruises – the Seaduced experience is private for your group and includes a gourmet lunch, signature cocktails, music, and a dedicated staff who make sure you have a laid back day at sea.
