ANYCATION – take a break from the everyday


Do you dream of a night of undisturbed sleep in a silky-smooth hotel bed? Or are you picturing a lively getaway with friends or family? The feeling of being on holiday is personal, and there is no "right way" to do the perfect vacation.


You don't have to travel far to find peace of mind. Say hello to ANYCATION.


What is ANYCATION?


ANYCATION is a feeling, an experience, and a breathing space. It is an invitation to take a break from everyday stress—on your own terms. We believe the best holiday doesn’t necessarily require plane tickets or weeks of planning; the most important thing is that you actually get to disconnect.


Whether it’s a staycation in your own city or a spontaneous weekend trip, Anycation is about adding a touch of magic to your daily life.


Ready for a break?


Check out our top 10 ANYCATIONS and find inspiration for your next little getaway with Strawberry.

1. Foodcation

Combine culinary experiences with a weekend trip to a new destination, or simply treat yourself to an exceptional dinner out. We have the restaurant gems you won't want to miss in the Nordic cities, whether you want to enjoy a fine meal in Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, or Copenhagen – or somewhere else entirely.


If you’re heading to Stockholm, be sure to check out some of the city's coolest and best gourmet menus, created by chef Frida Ronge.


And if there’s one thing we truly master, it’s hotel breakfasts. Do you fancy treating yourself to a delicious hotel breakfast without staying the night? Don’t forget to check out our permanent breakfast offer, unique to Strawberry members!

2. Coldcation

Why not take advantage of the season to dream yourself away to a winter paradise? Several of our hotels are located in the immediate vicinity of cross-country trails, ski slopes, or activities like dog sledding and ice bathing. With ski resorts such as Copperhill Mountain Lodge, Norefjell Ski & Spa and Riddergaarden Mountain Lodge – among many others – you are guaranteed to find something you love. How about checking into Icehotel in Sweden, a hotel made entirely of ice?

7. Datecation

Looking to hit pause and enjoy some long-overdue quality time together? A datecation is the perfect excuse to step away from everyday routines – whether you’re celebrating something big, rekindling the butterflies, or simply turning an ordinary Tuesday into something extraordinary.


Start the evening with a romantic dinner at a restaurant, then ease into the night with a drink at the hotel bar – the ideal spot to unwind and feel the mood shift. And why not round it all off with an overnight stay? There’s something truly special about waking up together in a soft hotel bed and letting the day unfold at its own pace.


A datecation suits every kind of couple – the newly smitten, the long-term duo or best friends celebrating love in all its forms. The important thing is that you’re together. We'll fix the rest.

10. Coolcation

In recent years, much of Southern Europe has been gripped by heatwaves, sparking brand-new travel trends. More and more travelers are fleeing the heat in favor of the cooler summer climates of the North. This has led to the rise of Coolcation – the concept of a refreshing, chilled-out holiday that has truly taken off.
