The spread of the coronavirus is a serious situation, but that doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself or have fun. Most of us will be spending a lot more time at home, so it’s time to make the most of it. Here’s how to make a positive out of a negative and turn the lockdown into a fun staycation.

Turn Your Home Into The Perfect Destination

The coronavirus is out, and you’re stuck at home. Fortunately, you can turn your home into the perfect destination. The smell of the sea, the sound of the shore and the luxury of a hotel room are only a few clicks away.

At only £28.99, you can have a stunning bed set that will transform your room into a holiday-worthy location in no time. This Luxury bedding set by Fixtex is hotel quality without the hotel price.

Experience the smells and textures of the beach with a few little touches. This Yankee Candle smells like the sea and is an ingenious way to experience the relaxation of the beach at home. Recreate the experience of drying off at the beach with these colourful summery towels. You can also get the beach delivered directly to your door with these seashells. Top it up with this 3D beach photo canvas, and you’ll have the beach at home experience in no time.

Imagine waking up refreshed after a long lie in your hotel room to the sound of the sea with Lumie. Lumie works by replicating the rise of the sun so that you wake up gradually and naturally. Waking up with light has been proven to help boost your mood, productivity and energy levels. It also comes with a range of built-in sounds so you can wake up to the sound of the sea. Combining light and sound, Lumie is a great way to turn your quarantine into a beach holiday.
