Safecation: A vacation away from crowded places, usually to a sunny tropical island destination, where everyone, i.e. all personnel and all other guests, have been fully vaccinated.

Covid too will pass

The Corona pandemic has had an immense impact on the world. Apart from the regrettable loss of life and long-term health consequences for the aged, the outbreak has dented business and trade, as well as tourism. Global confidence has taken quite a hit, along with budgets allocated for travel and holidays. Travel plans have been shelved.

However, we're now clearly seeing light at the end of the tunnel. People, being the resilient and resourceful creatures that we are, have come up with a number of ways to beat back the virus, amongst which several effective vaccines, administered on a global scale. Additionally, countless people have built immunity to the virus the natural way.

Will going on a holiday be as enjoyable and care-free as before when we have to don protective masks and be aware of keeping our distance to others? Well, perhaps we have to wait until Covid is no longer a threat at all before things go back to normal fully. Until that day, some vigilance is recommended.

Covid-free = Safecation

There is, however, another way. Whilst perhaps not accessible to everyone, there are far-flung holiday hideaways that by their very remoteness tend to - in particular once the population has been vaccinated and boostered - remain free of Covid. Examples include some Maldivian atolls, Australia, New Zealand and a number of Polynesian islands in the Pacific.

Anambas too, is one such blessed hideaway. Better still, this lovely tropical sanctuary, located at a mere stone's throw from Singapore's East Coast, is idyllically secluded. Not to mention very affordable.

Better yet, it so happens that Anambas has remained under tourism's radar until today, not just globally but regionally too. One of the results of this is the breathtaking island chain's remarkably low exchange of visitors from outside the territory. And it is this that, in times of Corona, can be considered rather serendipitous, especially in view of the complete roll-out of the archipel's vaccination program in 2021 and of course the HygienePass initiative.

So, if the long lockdown has stirred the need in you for a well-deserved Bounty island holiday, but you also feel the need to be travel responsibly, keep in mind the Anambas archipelago.

Corona-free. Mask-free. Care-free.

In fact, for 100% peace of mind, Anambas offers the care-free option to book your very own private island resort. That way, you'll never run into anyone else whilst on your castaway holiday, apart of course from resort staff and other members of your travel party.
