With governments across the globe giving a green light to hotels and restaurants to re-open, the travel industry is heavily relying on domestic markets and amid the pent up urge to travel among travelers there is an emerging staycation trend. Well from self-catering cabins to airbnb re-union breaks and family hotel deals, the first socially distant staycations packages are flooding in and we are here for it!

As a traveler, personally I'm not ready for hotel stay but I find vacation rentals a perfect pandemic staycation idea mainly because they are more isolated, there's the self catering option and no front desk and other guests interactions. Its literally like being home away from home!

Here are staycation ideas you can book now on Airbnb.


Self Catering Family Staycation Idea-The Brandy Bus

Imagine waking up to the sound of birds harmoniously chirping after a peaceful night's sleep and as you roll out of bed there's a sense of serenity.


You step outside and a beautiful morning greets you, warm sun rays shinning through the trees and hitting your face and as you sit down by the terrace under your umbrella chair set to take it all in, the heady aroma of brewing coffee coming from your bus van slowly makes its way to your nostrils.

That can be your self catering family staycation experience on the brandy bus, an old school bus that has been revamped into a cozy and unusual Airbnb home.

With two double beds and an extra single bed, the bus can host up to six guests and makes for a fantastic staycation idea for families. Self check in with the door man and you'll have the bus all to yourselves. The Kitchen is equipped for self catering staycations and even though the pool is not for guest use, you have access to the entire bus and surrounding garden including the tennis court.


Tucked away in the serene beautiful suburbs of Karen, the brandy bus is close to many operational day visit tourist attractions and an outdoor fireplace to gather around as a family as you reminisce the day's highlights.

Couple Ideal Staycation-Charming Get away

Secluded in a lush garden within the leafy surburbs on Windy ridge Karen, this beautiful pool house is a top romantic staycation idea for couples. Run as a full service with laundry, driver and chef services available on request, you have nothing to do but forget the rest of the world and enjoy your romantic getaway.

When you are not making magic in your large master en-suite bedroom with a fire place and making some sparks fly yourselves, you can enjoy skylights from the rooftop.

Wake up to a swim in the large swimming pool right in front of the cottage or take a relaxing bath in the recycling water Jacuzzi before you enjoy some quiet time in the outdoor lounge area next to the bedroom, taking in the exotic flowers and colorful bougainvilleas that grace the garden.



Staycation Idea for Singles -Open Space With a Pent House Vibe

Spending time with friends and family is always rewarding but sneaking away solo for a little re-charge isn't a lofty idea and this open space with a pent house vibe is as charming as it is rejuvenating. A 2 bedroom apartment in Kileleshwa, the house features 2 baths, a gym, elevator and netflix (check out my binge worthy travel movies on netflix play list).


A walking distance to arboretum, kasuku centre , restaurants and supermarkets,self catering supplies and or take outs is not a complicated affair, which is just how you need your staycation, simple and carefree.
