Love is indeed a beautiful thing. There must be a reason why Solomon said not to awaken love when it’s not time. However, that’s a subject for another day. Today, we’re discussing how to plan the 10/10 getaway baecation for you and your bae.
We know that planning one can be stressful, especially if you don’t know where to start. So, we’ve created this guide for you. Grab a bottle of soda or yogurt (for the soda-free people), and let’s go for a ride.
Step 1: Destination is everything
This sets the tone of what your baecation would turn out to be. Besides, not every trip requires leaving Nigeria. Sometimes, the best spots are right in your city (Lagos, PH, Abuja, Kaduna, Cross River, etc.); look, and you’ll find one or two.
In addition, when picking a location that suits your partner’s vibe — a beachfront, a high-rise luxury apartment, or a quiet, intimate hideaway — ensure you check in with her. You can do this subtly, though (please don’t make it so obvious).
Step 2: Set the mood with the right accommodation
Your baecation spot is more than just a place to sleep; it’s where all the memories will be made. Look for an apartment that:
- Has romantic aesthetics (lighting, a balcony, or even a bathtub)
- Offers privacy (nobody wants unplanned knocks on the door when they’re in the middle of something important)
- Is fully furnished with amenities like a kitchen (because breakfast in bed is a must)
Encouragingly, with the Lifestyle app, finding a beautiful and comfortable space that checks all these boxes will be as stress-free as it is in your dreams. There will be no unnecessary back-and-forth; just book, check-in, and enjoy the moment with your bae.
Step 3: Plan fun and romantic activities
A baecation isn’t just about staying indoors (though that is a big part of it). Make sure you mix some fun activities to spice things up, like a dinner date night, couples spa date, beach picnic, games night, and movies. We’ve got some recommendations for you:
Card and Board Games
- UNO: Classic and fun, but beware — this game can end relationships if taken too seriously.
- Ludo: Nothing like a nostalgic Ludo battle to keep things entertaining.
- Truth or Dare Jenga: Use a Jenga set with custom Truth/Dare prompts to spice things up.
Romantic and Intimate Games
- The “We’re Not Really Strangers” Card Game: A deep and meaningful game that helps couples bond on a deeper level.
- Strip Poker or Strip UNO: Add a little twist to traditional card games.
- Karaoke Battle: Play instrumentals from YouTube and have a singing showdown.
Fun and Competitive Games
- PlayStation or Xbox Games: If both of you are gamers, FIFA, Mortal Kombat, or Call of Duty can be a fun and competitive baecation activity.
- Heads Up/Charades: A guessing game that’s easy to play with just your phone.
- Murder Mystery: A fun game where you create a storyline, and one person has to guess who the “murderer” is.
Romantic and Feel-Good Series
- Bridgerton” — If you love romance, drama, and stunning outfits.
- “Emily in Paris” — A fun, lighthearted show with a mix of fashion, travel, and relationships.
- “Modern Love” — Each episode tells a different hea
Thrillers and Suspense (for the Excitement!)
- “You” — A gripping thriller that will have you both on the edge of your seat.
- “Money Heist” — Action-packed and filled with unpredictable twists.
- “Behind Her Eyes” — A mind-blowing psychological thriller with romance elements.
Fun and Entertaining Shows
- “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” — A hilarious cop comedy with lovable characters.
- “Friends” — The classic sitcom for laughs and good vibes.
- “The Office” — If you love sarcastic humor and awkward but hilarious moments.
For Anime Lovers
- “Demon Slayer” — Beautiful visuals and an emotional storyline.
- “Attack on Titan” — If you want something intense and action-packed
- “Your Lie in April” — A romantic and emotional anime for couples who love deep stories.
Picking the best set of activities would surely score you more points, so be wise and thoughtful about it.
Step 5: Sort Out Your Bills and Budget in Advance
There is nothing that kills romance faster than unexpected expenses. Before your baecation, make sure you handle these:
- Accommodation: Secure your shortlet booking in advance.
- Food and Drinks: Decide if you’ll cook or eat out (or both).
- Transportation: Budget for Uber/Bolt or fuel for road trips.
- Bills: Pay all necessary bills before leaving (there’s life after Valentine’s)
Thankfully, our app will soon allow you to book accommodations and pay bills seamlessly, so you can focus on enjoying your baecation stress-free!
Step 6: Add a Personal Touch to Make It Special
Now is the time to strike another chord to seal the deal for your baecation. Please note that if you plan this baecation without a bit of personal touch, you have successfully removed the icing from the cake. So, if you want to make your getaway unforgettable, add a little extra magic by:
- Surprising your bae with flowers, chocolates, or love notes (bonus points for you if her love language is gifts or words of affirmation)
- Decorate your space with candles and fairy lights.
- Create a special playlist of songs that mean something to both of you. This shows how thoughtful you are.
- Capture the moments, take pictures, and make videos. You’ll surely go back to them, and you’ll see a smile spread naturally across your face.
The little things like the above make a baecation feel even more intimate and meaningful.
Finally, a well-planned baecation can strengthen your bond, create beautiful memories, and give you both the much-needed relaxation desired. And when our Lifestyle App launches, you’ll be able to book beautiful shortlets and handle your bills effortlessly; romance should never be stressful!
