Even before the pandemic started, staycation is already a buzzword all over the world. Many people opt to spend their much needed vacation days in the beauty and tranquility of a vacation home. Surprisingly, despite the challenges the real estate market industry faced when the pandemic started, there came a pandemic induced demand for vacation homes in the past two years. Clearly, one of the reasons behind this is the travel restrictions that governments around the world imposed while experts are looking into the COVID-19 virus during its first year. Days turned to weeks, weeks into months, and months became years—the waiting took so long that the affluent eventually found the need to look for secondary homes where they can spend some days in a more free yet still safe environment.
Conventionally, a vacation home is considered a luxury. A secondary dwelling that a lot of people do not have the capacity of purchasing. But the past years have redefined this traditional outlook on such things. If anything, the crisis made us see that having a place that people can visit anytime for recreational purposes such as vacations or holidays can also be considered a necessity. Many people started to aspire for this kind of comfortable, convenient, and aesthetic lifestyle that comes in handy in case the next crisis hits us.
Often located in breathtaking locations, vacation homes can take any form—luxury real estate properties situated in stunning communities, luxury condominium, or even cottages. For people who are interested to purchase a luxury real estate property as a vacation home, the most beautiful houses in the Philippines can be found with trusted developers—first on the list is Brittany Corporation.
But for those who are looking into vacation homes to visit for that next getaway, here is a few of the world’s best vacation homes.

Any of these vacation homes is surely worthy, a sign to pursue that next staycation trip.
