Why a destination vacation is the way to go

There’s no doubt that a destination vacation offers numerous benefits. These benefits start even before the trip begins. Reason being that scientific studies show that looking forward to a future reward can be more rewarding than the reward itself. Why? Because it raises your dopamine levels.

Few destinations offer the gamut of activities that Sodwana Bay Lodge offers. Plus you stay in well-appointed accommodation, enjoy meals at a top-notch restaurant and experience the sigh-worthy surrounding nature.

But the essence of a really good break-away is to partake in exciting activities. Here too, Sodwana Bay Lodge ticks all the boxes. It offers diving, deep-sea fishing, birding, turtle tours from November to March and whale watching from July to November. Surfers and standup paddleboarders will like the challenging swells. Meanwhile for kitesurfing, Sodwana Bay statistically gets NE and ENE wind over 12 knots 80% of the time during November.

However, if parking off is more your scene, there’s a stunning pool with a pool bar offering many tropical libations. For kids, the jungle gym will be just the ticket.

Back to the question of why a destination vacation is the way to go. Firstly, a good vacation with plenty to do reduces chronic stress levels. Activities make one feel good, thus rebooting your dopaminergic system. And best of all, this recharges your energy levels.

Time is our most precious commodity. Which is why it’s important to experience joy. Many people think time management is about accomplishing more, but it really is more about learning to set priorities, such as ensuring that time off is spent as an experience.

In short, a destination vacation adds light to your life. And none more so than at Sodwana Bay Lodge. See you soon!
