Close to the sea, away from the city center and crowds. In today's fast-paced world, it's hard to stop, take a breath, and find a moment to admire what surrounds us. Slow life relaxation by the sea is needed now more than ever. We present several ways to slow down the pace of life and truly rest in nature.


What is the Slow Life idea?


Slow life literally means slow living – it's a philosophy based on pausing and focusing on the present moment. People who live the slow way try to slow down their pace of life and escape the daily rush of duties to focus on what really matters. Many try to live slow life daily, but even during holidays, it can bring positive effects and, above all, true rest.

The easiest way to start Slow Life is by “being here and now” – focusing on experiencing the moment without distractions, disconnecting from technology and duties, and enjoying what we are experiencing now. You can start being mindful at any moment, even while eating meals – focus on the taste, smell, and texture of the food.


Close to nature


When planning a holiday by the sea, more and more attention is paid to the location of the accommodation. To spend soothing moments in a slow style, the best choice is a place surrounded by nature. Being close to nature is one of the basics of the slow life philosophy. Greenery and nature have many calming and soothing properties. Fresh air will ensure a more peaceful sleep and improve concentration.


Lots of walks on the beach and hikes in the forest


Instead of spending another hour in front of your phone or computer screen, it's worth going for a walk! Holidays are the perfect time to disconnect from technology. Allow yourself meetings with other people, spending time with family or friends. A walk among greenery is also a great opportunity to try meditation or yoga outdoors. Meditation while walking is mindful walking – slow your pace and pay attention to your breath. With each conscious breath, take one step, and with the exhale, the next.


Traveling without rush, meaning good planning


Traveling brings a lot of pleasure. However, vacationers often organize many attractions in a short time, which leaves no time to rest! It is impossible to relax while constantly rushing, so allow yourself a bit of freedom on vacation. Slow life means discovering new places without haste – stop where you want, when you want. Experience new places fully and without rushing.


Time for creativity


Free days during holidays are an excellent time to unlock your creativity. By the sea, you can find many beautiful landscapes – maybe this year, take a camera and try to capture them? Another great idea is to try your skills, for example, drawing or painting. You can take a small sketchbook everywhere, and even a small easel! Writing down your feelings in a journal is another way to experience the surrounding world.


Do what makes you happy!


Slow life is primarily about following your desires and needs. If you want to lie on the beach and sunbathe all day, then do so! A longer spa session? A bike trip? Reading a book in a hammock? Going out for lunch with family? Everything is allowed! The most important thing is not to rush and do what makes you happy. Being mindful also means observing your feelings and emotions – notice what brings you joy, what sadness, and follow pleasure.


Letting go of duties


During holidays, it's worth giving up unnecessary stress and haste. Holidays are for recharging your energy, so it's worth allowing yourself to focus only on that. If you don't have to, don't check your email, turn off your phone, let go of excessive planning, and give yourself to relaxation and fun.

The world rushes forward and we rush with it, but it's worth finding moments of peace and rest. After holidays spent in the slow life style, you can return to your duties with a calmer mind. Learning to live slowly is useful not only for holidays but also in everyday life. We invite you to check our apartments close to nature.
