How to make the most of your days off in 2026?

The year 2026 offers some really interesting opportunities to cleverly combine days off with weekends. All it takes is a little planning to turn a single holiday into a longer, worthwhile holiday — one that will catch your breath and recharge your batteries.

  • New Year's rest — the perfect start of the year

New Year's Day falls on Thursday and Epiphany is on Tuesday. To gain a continuous six days off (January 1—6), it is enough to plan a vacation: January 2 (Friday) and January 5 (Monday). This is a chance to enter the new year quietly.

  • May Day — short spring reset

In 2026, the calendar does not create a natural long weekend, as May 1 falls on a Friday, May 2 on a Saturday, and May 3 on a Sunday. However, taking a holiday on April 30 (Thursday), you can get four days of rest — ideal for spring recovery.

  • Corpus Christi — a classic long weekend

Corpus Christi falls on June 4 (Thursday). A holiday on June 5 (Friday) is enough to gain four days of relaxation.

  • November — Autumn Time for Breathing

Independence Day is on 11 November (Wednesday). To create a longer holiday, it is worth planning a holiday on November 9 and 10, which gives you five days off (November 7—11) — ideal for the autumn reset.

  • Christmas

Christmas Eve is a day off, and the festive calendar layout favors longer rest without having to take advantage of multiple vacation days.


Polanica Resort & Spa — the perfect place for a weekend or holiday trip

If you are looking for a place that combines comfort, tranquility and attractive leisure facilities, it is worth paying attention to Polanica Resort & Spa. The hotel offers:

  • Water park with swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna,
  • recreation areas such as a bowling alley and billiards,
  • a restaurant serving full meals,

  • the opportunity to purchase residence vouchers, perfect as a gift.

It's a place that favors both short weekend getaways and longer holiday stays.

Ideas for short trips in 2026

Knowing the calendar of free days, it is easy to make a plan for several short trips:

  • Regeneration weekend — stay with access to the swimming pool and sauna
  • Christmas trip — Easter or Christmas in a quiet environment,
  • May Day — spring walks and regeneration in the health resort,
  • Autumn free — perfect for breath before the end of the year.
