No long leave needed: Why short, mindful getaways are having a moment

Between back-to-back meetings, packed calendars and the constant ping of notifications, taking a proper holiday can sometimes feel like another task on the to-do list. That is perhaps why short getaways are finding favour with travellers who want to step away from the daily grind without taking too much time off.From extending a work trip by a couple of days to turning a quick road trip into a wellness break, bleisure is taking on a more relaxed meaning. The idea is simple: work when you need to, and make the most of the time when you don't. For many urban travellers, a good hotel now needs to offer both, a comfortable space to catch up on work and enough reasons to put the laptop away.Radisson Hotel Group’s portfolio has several stays that fit this new way of travelling. Radisson Resort & Spa Khopoli, a drive away from Mumbai and Pune, offers the kind of nature-filled setting where a workday can give way to a spa session, yoga or some pool time. At Radisson Hotel Nathdwara, travellers can combine a spiritual escape with wellness experiences at the R3 Spa, yoga room, rooftop pool and fitness centre.For those who would rather trade city noise for mountain air, Radisson Resort Hatgad Saputara offers a relaxed hill escape with yoga, spa and leisure experiences, while Radisson Hotel Kufri brings the appeal of a quieter Himalayan break. Radisson Blu Palace Resort & Spa, Udaipur adds a touch of luxury to the mix, allowing travellers to combine wellness, culture and leisure in one short stay.Because sometimes, you don't need a week-long holiday to feel refreshed. You just need a change of view, a little less screen time and a couple of days that are entirely your own.Disclaimer: The above content is non-editorial, and TIL hereby disclaims any and all warranties, expressed or implied, relating to it, and does not guarantee, vouch for or necessarily endorse any of the content.You use AI every day.
