What is workation and why is coliving its great ally

The current trend leads us to seek a balance between work and leisure time. Combining work and leisure time in a flexible way is increasingly valued by workers. From this idea, new trends, concepts, and businesses are emerging to respond to these new needs. Today we want to tell you about the concept called workation and how colivings are a great ally for those who practice it.

 

What does Workation mean?

Workation is a term that comes from two words, Work and Vacation. People who practice workation avoid working in a traditional office or in one place. This concept is usually associated with jobs that can be done remotely. 

 

Those who work in this way travel around the world to explore new places while working. This allows them to discover new cities or countries in their free time once they have finished working. The perfect mix of work and holidays.

 

What role does coliving play?

Coliving is the ideal place for all these digital nomads to live and work without worrying about anything. This space provides a place to live that is already fully equipped, so the person only has to bring their personal belongings with them. 

 

Additionally, one of the great advantages of colivings is the community of people in them. In this community, they will find like-minded individuals with whom to share experiences and discover a new city and culture together. Many colivings organize activities to help their tenants integrate and discover the local culture.

 

Benefits of doing workation in a coliving

Community

As mentioned before, the community is one of the greatest assets of a coliving. It offers an environment that fosters relationships among professionals and individuals. Colivings have spaces designed to encourage personal relationships. Coworking areas, shared living rooms, or kitchens are ideal places to establish relationships and foster community.

 

Prepared spaces

Colivings are designed so that people can move in at any time. They are fully equipped to live and work, providing all the essential amenities for this purpose. For example, at Viu, all apartments are equipped with all the necessary items for day-to-day living. From towels and sheets to all the necessary kitchen utensils, even laundry service.

 

Flexibility

One of the greatest advantages of coliving is its flexibility. Residents can choose from a variety of accommodation options, from private rooms to shared suites, according to their preferences and budget. Additionally, many colivings offer short and long-term rental options, allowing remote workers to plan their workation according to their specific needs.
