Embrace the
Summer Splurge

Summer is the season to recharge and rejuvenate. With longer days, warmer weather, and a relaxed vibe, it’s brimming with possibilities for reinvigorating our bodies and souls. So go ahead and invest in some splurge-worthy summer activities and experiences. In doing that, you’re investing in much-deserved self care and memories that last far beyond the season.

Create a backyard oasis. The perfect escape from the hustle bustle of daily life could be steps away from your door. With thoughtfully chosen features like lush greenery, cozy seating, a bubbling fountain or a fire pit, you could transform an ordinary outdoor space into a tranquil sanctuary.

Don’t go camping, go glamping! Glamping mixes glamour and camping, and there is no better place than our own super, natural British Columbia to enjoy luxurious outdoor experiences with comfortable accommodations and stylish amenities. Look online for BC’s top glamping sites and be ready to take “staycation” to a whole new level.

Go on a luxurious spa getaway. It’s true that the best spa resorts are expensive, but be honest–you could use the ultimate pampering experience, invigorating treatments, and serene ambiance. Lucky for us, many excellent destination spas are just a road trip away so at least you won’t need to pay for expensive flights.

Upgrade your travel. Last year, travellers had to deal with shifting pandemic restrictions, record crowds at airports, and disrupted itineraries. Travelling this summer? Consider trip upgrades that could make a difference to your experience. Many travel pros agree that these are worthy splurges: high quality luggage, private transfer services, private tours with local guides and, most importantly, a travel insurance that covers medical, trip cancellation or interruption, and luggage.

Invest in a vacation property. Owning a vacation property is a bucket list item for many Canadians, but most are deterred by the financial commitment and management responsibilities. The good news is that there are more options today than ever for managing those risks and commitments. And with the right property, the advantages should far outweigh the risks.
