staycations

Holidays without travel

Staycations are vacations spent at home or nearby rather than traveling to a distant destination.

The word blends "stay" and "vacation." You might explore local attractions, relax at home, or take day trips: We're doing a staycation this year—museums, restaurants, sleeping in.

The term gained popularity as an alternative to expensive or complicated travel.
