5 Unique Workation Spots in Lithuania

Workations are seeing increased popularity as many people want to change their surroundings, restore their well-being, and regain work-life balance since the pandemic was first announced. In fact, a research report states that 94% of employees express their desire for a workation this year. With the weather in Lithuania steadily getting warmer, both teams and lone digital nomads have many options for their next retreat from the office. This includes unique surroundings — whether in a 300-year-old monastery or a treehouse with stunning views of undisturbed nature. Find inspiration in the following five Lithuanian sites…

Treehouse offers immersion into nature for increased focus

Interested in the wilderness of Lithuania’s undisturbed forests? Find a comfortable office nestled among treetops. The “Varena Treehouse” complex, which lies just an hour away from the capital Vilnius, is a true oasis of peace. The minimalist wooden interiors of the treehouses offer solo travelers and couples a cozy retreat from the bustle of city life. The rural surroundings help focus on tasks with the utmost comfort while views of the forest keep stress at bay for anyone visiting the area.

An agrarian escape into nature for the whole team

Tucked away in the village of Radiškis, found in the west of Lithuania, is a haven for people seeking to escape the city and gain a fresh perspective. The “Farmers Circle” community offers an office in nature, as the farm is well equipped to welcome large teams of up to 45 for overnight or a short-term visit in their conference hall fit for 200 people. Beyond clean workspaces that allow visitors to remain productive, the farm expresses its sustainable philosophy through various farm activities.

Remote work in an iconic baroque monastery

Only a few hundred hotels are housed in existing monasteries across the world, and one of them can be found near Kaunas, Lithuania’s second-largest city. As monasteries have a unique spiritual quality and provide a peaceful environment that encourages focus, boost your creativity, and reconnect in this unique environment. Consider the Pažaislis Monastery hospitality complex “Monte Pacis.” Classic Baroque-style rooms are available at the hotel while the monastery’s guest house has a restaurant that offers Baroque food samplings.

Remaining productive in a world-class spa

The “Tech Spa” is found in Lithuania’s historic wellness resort, Druskininkai, teeming with natural mineral water springs and natural mud, which has been used for therapeutic purposes for centuries. With all the amenities of an office — including all the tea and coffee you need — it offers travelers the opportunity to regain work-life balance. Exchange your usual workplace for stimulating and brightly decorated coworking living places.

Looking to the seaside for recharging emotional batteries

Working in Klaipėda, Lithuania’s largest seaside city and the country’s port town, has the benefit of being close to the sea, which may explain why it is known as the “teleworking capital.” Escaping to the beach after a hard day’s work to breathe in the invigorating sea air serves as a pleasant change of scenery. “Light House Coworking and Coliving”, just minutes from the sea, is one of Lithuania’s most sophisticated coworking spaces, with integrated lodging in the country’s first-ever sleeping capsules or lofts, micro-offices, meditation, and conference rooms.
