Over the past 18 months, many of us have changed the way we work - going from the standard five days a week in the office to a mix of in-office and at-home working. This flexible work style definitely has its perks, however, for those who are tired of the four walls of their study or living room, a remote working getaway could be the perfect solution.
We’ve selected some of our favourite properties that are guaranteed to provide envy-inducing Zoom backgrounds; here, guests can work from a well-equipped home office with a view, breaking up their day with a swim at their own private beach or carving it up on the slopes.
