So, the chicks have left the coop, and you’re left with some extra space, a dash of peace and quiet and a whole lot of freedom. It begs the question–what now? You’ve dedicated the past 18+ years of your life to your kiddos, and it might feel weird, empty nesters, but it’s time to put the spotlight back on you.
And by the spotlight, we mean the UV rays of somewhere tropical where everything is taken care of. AKA an all-inclusive vacation.
Whether this is a new chapter of your life or you’re a seasoned pro, we’ve rounded up four reasons why you need to take your empty nest on an all-inclusive vacation ASAP. Hint: because you’ve earned it!
1. Ramp Up the Romance
A beautiful beach is like a magic potion for romance. The heat, the sunsets, the ambiance–it’s magical! Fall in love all over again with your partner and enjoy uninterrupted quality time. Because at an all-inclusive resort, you never need to leave with all its amazing amenities, restaurant options and lavish accommodations. Your days can look like this: snag a beach cabana for the two of you in the morning, arrange a romantic candlelit dinner for two in the evening, unwind and cozy up in a spacious suite, rinse and repeat the next day!
2. Pamper in Paradise
Another major bonus of all-inclusive resorts is the fabulous service. And after years of tending to soccer schedules, ballet recitals and so on, you totally deserve the royal treatment! Some luxury all-inclusive resorts even have private butler services to make sure someone is dedicated to tending to your every want and need. For the utmost pampering, book a trip to the spa for an extra dose of relaxation and beach bliss.
3. Meet Fellow Empty Nesters
Make the most of your all-inclusive vacation and make friends with guests–you all chose the same resort for a reason! You’re most likely going to meet fellow True Beach Lovers with an empty nest of themselves, so get talking and embrace the excitement of forming new friendships. You no longer have to cater your vacation around water parks and kids clubs!
4. Have Fun!
Being an empty nester is all about rediscovering yourself as the person and finding things to fuel you outside of parenthood. So, why not start this journey of rediscovery on a fun-filled vacay? Sip on bottomless margaritas at the swim-up bar, take a stab at paddleboarding and maybe even participate in a limbo contest. Whatever feels right, do it! It’s your vacation.
