Introducing Schoolcations: Remote Learning at Luxury Resorts

Happy first day of… virtual learning! With many businesses and schools remaining virtual this fall, refresh your approach to learning and working with a “schoolcation”. With so many both working and learning remotely, a unique opportunity to change your surroundings and boost productivity has presented itself. Remote work and learning allow us to be virtually anywhere while staying on top of our responsibilities; who says we have to stay put to do that!

Many consumers have recently been following this new “schoolcation” trend for a change of scenery and a must needed break from reality. With the help of Ourisman Travel, you can travel while still educating your children and getting that office work done – all from the luxury of your private room, residence, or villa! Check out some of our favorite options for a “schoolcation!

Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita recently announced its schoolcation experience and we couldn’t be more excited. Through a new Knowledge for All Seasons program (an extension of the resort’s Kids for All Seasons programming), the property will set up families with distance learning in your new home away from home with private tutoring, study buddy support, cultural classes, tech support, and study cabanas.

The villas and homes feature private pools, patios, grilling areas, and a dedicated host who will even do your grocery shopping, allowing for total seclusion away from guests. And everything else you could ever need is within touch with the latest Four Seasons Chat App.

Another Four Seasons property participating in the “schoolcation” program implemented by the Punta Mita property is the Four Seasons Orlando. A family favorite due to its location inside the Disney World Park and its devoted attention to young guests, the Four Seasons Disney is the perfect answer for those looking to blend a “schoolcation” with a day or two visiting one of the Disney Parks. The five-acre Explorer Island will act as a schoolhouse for kids as they work on their homework, enjoy snacks and even have a little recess before joining their parents at the family pool. While the kids are away, parents are free to enjoy the adults-only pool onsite, the only one within the Disney World Park Complex.

Through our partnership with Four Seasons, Ourisman Travel is pleased to offer our clients exclusive perks like daily breakfast for two or early check-in when they stay at the Four Seasons Punta Mita, the Four Seasons Orlando, or other Four Seasons properties around the world

The Four Seasons Punta Mita is not the only hotel in Mexico jumping on the “schoolcation” trend. The Hotel Esencia is also offering complimentary home school coordinators included with every September & October booking. These coordinators will help your children connect online with their teachers and supervise their school routine for up to five hours per day, while parents relax and unwind from the past 5 months. The only stir-crazy happening here is your margarita on the rocks!

As if that isn’t enough to convince you that The Hotel Esencia is the perfect fit for your “schoolcation”, Ourisman is able to extend Virtuoso amenities to our clients, including daily breakfast for two guests and a $100 spa credit, to name a few.

The Montage brand has launched its own version of the schoolcation at four of their properties, Montage Los CabosMontage Palmetto BluffMontage Laguna Beach, and Montage Deer Valley, with its newly unveiled Montage Academy. Montage Academy has been designed to meet the needs of students engaging in virtual learning, offering a range of supportive services for guests ages six to seventeen. These include a socially distanced study hall with tutors on hand to help with homework, answer questions, and assist with technology. These four Montage properties are also offering additional activities to act as a nice break from the day to day learning and preserve the sense of vacation that all guests deserve. Offering activities like youth yoga classes, guided hikes, cooking classes, and any others, kids are given an opportunity to have some fun and enjoy their surroundings. These additional activities are great for parents too, who may also be working and may need additional support to get their work done.

As proud partners of Montage and Virtuoso, we are please to offer our clients value added amenities when they book their schoolcations at a Montage with us, including free breakfast daily, early check-ins & late check-outs and others!

Not to be left out, the Rosewood brand has created a unique Family Time package to answer the unique needs of families. Available across thirteen Rosewood properties in the United States, Caribbean, Middle East, and Mexico, the Family Time package offers a selection of inspired activities and benefits, designed with children in mind.  Expect kid-friendly welcome amenities and experiences, as well as complimentary meals for children 12 and under. Book your Suite Sojourn for exclusive benefits offering an even more personalized experience in one of the collection’s incredible suites, villas, or residences; the perfect places for a virtual classroom or office!

Ourisman Travel is a proud partner of Rosewood Hotels and we are thrilled to offer our guests daily breakfast for two, upgrade opportunities and early check-in or late check-out to our clients.

Last but not least, turn remote learning up a notch with best-in-class tutors and nanny services at your Auberge Resorts Vacation Home. With the support of Auberge, we can arrange for in-person or virtual tutoring so your children can get help with their schoolwork while you get work done yourself (or lounge by the pool). Auberge offers an expansive collection of properties sure to wow those looking for luxury and high touch service. Ourisman Travel clients can take advantage of Virutoso amenities at most Auberge properties worldwide.

Ourisman Travel is aways poised to help our clients find the best-fit property for their needs, and “schoolcations” are no exception. Our partnerships allow us to stay ahead of the curve and provide our clients with exclusive access to incredible private villas, residences & homes – perfect for families looking to escape the monotony while keeping safety and functionality top of mind.
