Weekend Staycation Ideas That’ll Make You Forget You Didn’t Leave Town

Who says you have to leave town to unwind? With the right mindset and a few creative ideas, you can turn your RPM apartment into the ultimate staycation spot.

Whether you're looking to relax, recharge, or explore your own neighborhood, these weekend plans will have you wondering why you ever bothered booking a flight.

Transform Your Space into a Spa

Create your own in-apartment oasis with essential oil diffusers, a soothing playlist, a bath soak, and a DIY face mask. Pour some cucumber water and enjoy luxury without the spa price tag.

Plan a Themed Movie Marathon

Pick a theme—’90s classics, horror night, or award-winning indies—and binge with popcorn, snacks, and cozy blankets. Invite a friend or keep it solo.

Be a Tourist in Your Own City

Explore nearby parks, museums, coffee shops, or events you’ve been meaning to check out. Many RPM apartments are located in vibrant neighborhoods with tons to do right outside your door.

Host a Game Night or Brunch

Use your apartment’s community space or your own living room to bring friends together. Games, mimosas, or build-your-own waffle bars? Yes, please.

Try a New Hobby or Skill

Whether it’s learning to paint, cooking a fancy new dish, or picking up yoga on YouTube, a staycation is the perfect time to invest in yourself.

When you live at RPM luxury apartments, the amenities alone can make your weekend feel like a retreat—resort-style pools, rooftop lounges, fitness centers, and more. Who needs a hotel?

Stay in. Chill out. Repeat.
