5 ways to reunite in paradise post-pandemic
After over a year of lockdowns, restrictions and staying home, we’ve all missed out on celebrating special occasions and spending quality time with family and friends. With vaccines rolling out across the country, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. The time will come where we can reconnect with our loved ones, and what better place to reunite than in paradise?
While you might not be able to travel quite yet, you can give yourself something to look forward to by organizing your future group vacation with family and friends. Plenty of Canadians are getting a head start on planning their tropical vacation with all their loved ones for late 2021 and 2022! Plus, you only need six adults to form a group and receive exclusive extras like free seats, room upgrades and more. To help you get inspired for your group vacation, we rounded up five of our favourite ways to reunite in the tropics post-pandemic.
Organize the ultimate family reunion
Counting down the days until you can hang out with all the cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents and siblings again? Spend a week catching up and making new memories together at an all inclusive resort. Instead of worrying about cooking and cleaning, you can kick back, relax and enjoy seeing each other in real life instead of over Zoom or FaceTime. Choose a resort that offers something for everyone in the family, like Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Cancun. The kids will have a blast at the Jurassic Splash Park and Shipwreck Cove while the grown-ups soak up the sun poolside.
Celebrate another year around the sun
After at least one pandemic birthday, your first post-pandemic birthday should be extra-special! Plan your future birthday celebration in a tropical destination with your nearest and dearest. Spend the day laying out by the pool and the night enjoying a gourmet meal at one of your resort restaurants, complete with all the birthday cake and dessert you can eat. The adults only Royalton CHIC Punta Cana is the perfect place for your big birthday bash, with special events and theme parties throughout the week. For an ultra-luxurious celebration, rent out the CHIC Mansion, an ultra-exclusive six-bedroom mansion with a private pool and butler service.
Party it up poolside for your bachelor/bachelorette
Toast to leaving the single life behind with a bachelor/bachelorette party in paradise. Hosting your farewell to bachelorhood at an all inclusive resort will make the planning process a lot easier, in addition to being more budget-friendly than a trip to Vegas where drinks and meals are extra. You and your friends can eat, drink and be merry in paradise as you hang out by the swim-up bar or dance the night away at the resort disco. Choose an adults only resort like the newly-renovated Riu Montego Bay and add on the #Bach Party Package ($), which includes a two-hour private party on the beach with an open bar and DJ.
Relax and reconnect together in a tropical oasis
After the past year, we could all use some rest and relaxation. Grab your stressed-out family and friends and start planning your escape to sunnier skies – even the act of booking your future vacation can help boost your mood! You and your fellow relaxation buddies can spend endless days lounging around the resort, where all you have to worry about is whether to spend the day by the beach or the pool. Head to a resort with an on-site spa for ultimate pampering, like Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun. You can decompress with a pampering massage at The Royal Spa before heading back to the exclusive Hideaway pool with convenient wait service.
Tee off with fellow golfers on world-class courses
Did you have to forego your annual golf trip due to COVID-19? Reschedule your group golf getaway to an all inclusive resort that offers special group perks and discounted green fees. Tee off on some of the most pristine courses across the Caribbean and Mexico designed by world-class pros like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones Jr. Plus, your clubs will fly for free on board Sunwing Airlines! Plan your future golf getaway at the adults only Melia Las Americas Golf and Beach Resort where you can enjoy unlimited free rounds of golf at Varadero Golf Club next door (restrictions may apply).
