Working on the Go
For many jobs, it is no longer absolutely necessary to be physically present in the office every day. Thanks to the internet and cloud solutions, a workation — a combination of “work” and “vacation” — is now possible in many companies. Employees simply move their home office to a holiday destination. Simple? Find out what you need to bear in mind and why a workation in Croatia is such a good idea.

The Framework Conditions of a Workation
First of all, it is important that the employer gives their approval and has no security concerns regarding data or the laptop. Since most companies work on a cloud-based system and provide specially secured company laptops with VPN access, this is not usually a problem. Especially if the workation only lasts a few days, for example around bridge days, there are otherwise few obstacles.
The company can define the times at which employees must be available during their workation. If the workation takes place in a country with no major time difference to the actual place of work, this naturally makes things much easier. Of course, even when working from abroad, tasks must be completed reliably and carefully. With regard to tax and social security law, a stay abroad of less than 183 days is irrelevant. This is especially the case when spending a workation in Croatia or another EU country.
Working Under Palm Trees
Once the framework conditions have been clarified with the employer, there is basically little standing in the way of working under palm trees — provided that the technical requirements are also met: fast, stable internet at your chosen location, a laptop, noise-cancelling headphones and all the access details you need to carry out your work.
Those who choose a workation at Hotel Lemongarden can relax: in addition to modern Wi-Fi, our rooms and suites feature comfortable desks where you can work undisturbed.
Quickly answering a few emails before breakfast? No problem. The coffee machine in your room is ready for your first cup of the morning. Open the window, feel the sea breeze and sense how the prospect of an afternoon by the pool can boost productivity and motivation almost endlessly.
The other advantages of a workation are obvious: you can jump into the sea straight after work or during your lunch break, need fewer holiday days, do not have to worry about everyday tasks such as shopping and housework alongside your job, and can enjoy that holiday feeling once the work is done. And even while working.
Workation Is a Skill
It is also important to mention that employees not only need to be allowed to go on a workation — they also need to be able to handle it. In other words, a high level of self-motivation and responsibility is required in order not to let work slide. After all, unfinished tasks can weigh on your mind. And who would want to spoil the lightness of a dinner right by the water at Hotel Lemongarden because they were unfocused in the morning and left too many tasks undone?
However, anyone who works well and productively from home can usually trust that a workation in Croatia or elsewhere will also be a success. If in doubt, it is a good idea to test your suitability for a workation during an extended weekend before planning a longer stay.
Tip!
Some of the suites at Hotel Lemongarden have roof terraces. High above it all, guests not only enjoy wonderful views, but also plenty of peace and privacy while sunbathing or working.
