It makes no sense to spend a fortune to get away from it all just to get work done, and an instinctive Instagram-induced fear of escaping on the sunbed with you. Travelers of the twenty-first century are aware that one of the best bets to escape modern technology is to consciously choose Wi-Fi-free hotels or pockets of the country without intrusive phone signal. These are the best places in the world from which you can escape your phone - the best digital detox vacation. Maybe you find yourself while you're there.
This beautiful all-inclusive resort combines luxury and adventure without compromise on both sides and has been designed to blend in with the landscape. And so is the landscape: The Tierra Patagonia is located on a hill on the edge of the Sarmiento Lake in the National Park Torres del Paine in Patagonia (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve). There is no TV, no telephone and no Wi-Fi outside the public areas. Instead, there are emerald-green lakes, abundant wildlife, and towering mountains, which seem like a decent barter. This compelling screenbreak ensures you can make the most of riding, glacier hiking, fishing and mountain biking.
Insider tip: The only problem with remote places is the effort to get there. Most visitors travel from Punta Arenas, which takes four hours. However, if you fly into the smaller Puerto Natales, it is less than an hour.
Ischia in the Bay of Naples is hardly a jewel; demanding Italian couples and families have been vacationing here for years. What is special about Ischia, however, is that it is still ridiculously easy to escape the masses, to escape the mental confusion and digital technology. Just walk into Albergo Il Monastero, housed in a 16th-century former convent of the Aragonese castle, and come out of the 21st century. Albergo Il Monastero rises above a promontory connected by a short causeway to the main island of Ischia. His melodramatic appearance radiates his calm interior. In the stylish common areas, vaulted ceilings and whitewashed walls create a generous sense of space. The design is a perfect blend of Mediterranean minimalism (wicker furniture and fresh white linen) and bold contemporary artwork by the later artist (and formerly) owner of the hotel) Gabriele Mattera. The bedrooms were originally monk cells and they have a modest and meditative aura with terracotta tiles and simple hardwood furniture. But the best piece? Wifi struggles to get through these thick walls of the monastery, so connectivity is limited to sunlit courtyards and public spaces. As an added bonus, there is no TV in the rooms, which allows the mesmerizing views of Ischia and the rugged coastline to take their rightful place as stars of the show.
Insider tip: Order an Aperol Spritz and sit on the hotel terrace when the sun goes down. But only if you promise not to do it on Instagram.
In a northeastern corner of the island of Gotland is the remote Furillen Peninsula, home to a unique hotel. Factories Furillen can only be reached by boat or plane and a 45 km drive and is a sustainable design masterpiece by photographer Johan Hellström. Despite its austere, brutalistic exterior, it is cozy and inviting on the inside, stylishly furnished with typical Scandinavian verve. Surrounded by rugged limestone formations and secluded beaches where the seabirds soar above the ruins of an ancient pebble quarry, it's easy to feel that you've reached the edge of the world. And if you want to go one step further, book the Wi-Fi-free and off-grid Hermit's Cabin, where the nightly rate drops every day to test your 21st century resilience.
Insider tip: Borrow a heavy traditional Skeppshult bike from the hotel to explore the nooks and crannies of this rugged peninsula before enjoying a meal made with ingredients from the on-site farm.
The entire nation of Malawi acts as a kind of digital detoxification, without 3G and Wi-Fi limited to a handful of hotels. It helps to make this idyllic island a fitting, lo-fi-style retreat from Cape Maclear for an hour across Lake Malawi, on the south shore of Lake Malawi, and four hours' drive from the capital, Lilongwe. From a handful of chefs and chefs working with Kayak Africa, who owns Mumbo Island and its more rustic neighbor, Domwe Island, you may have the entire island to yourself. Free your mind and dance around the fire before you shed in the moonlight.
Insider tip: Order a MGT (that's a Malawi gin & tonic) as a sundowner. Malawi gin has been distilled from sugar cane since the 1960s. This is a legacy of Scottish missionaries who founded David Livingstone's schools and communities throughout Malawi. And the Malawians are justifiably proud of it.
These three unbelievably photogenic geodomes and huts offer romance through the shovel and were originally intended to provide visitors with a refuge from city life. The Brecon Beacons, Hay Bluff, and the Black Mountains vie for your attention, but none of them compete with your phone because they're delightfully freed from Wi-Fi. So go into the wilderness and then return to these luxurious bags in the countryside to maybe drink a glass of champagne in the hot tub to celebrate that you have not looked at a screen all day.
Insider Tip: Just a mile down the road is a foodie's paradise called Felin Fach Griffin, a restaurant with rooms that's popular with Welsh food obsession. Do not cheat and use your Wi-Fi.
There is something about traveling to northern areas that feels like an imperative for freedom to seek untouched, harsh and almost inhospitable landscapes for solitude, simplicity and adventure. The Canadian Yukon was brought to the map a few years ago by a visit by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but 80 percent of the area is still untouched wilderness. This means that 80 percent of the territory is completely infected by the Internet. So if you are looking for physical and mental space, you will find it here. Fortunately, there are many activities that distract you from your bad phone. Luxury chalets like Tagish Wilderness Lodge are prime places to see the Northern Lights. A short drive away are dogsledding trails, natural hot pools and famous rides, including the Dempster Highway, famous for Ice Road Truckers.
Insider tip: For years, sports obsessive pilgrims have been making regular visits to the Yukon for the summer, but talk to a local and they'll probably tell you they prefer the quieter winter months. From November to March, blue skies and snow blankets make the landscape hypnotic, the cultural calendar begins (the January Winter Arts Festival at Dawson City is a highlight), and snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are on biking, hiking and kayaking.
Upon checking in at The Bridge, a professional retreat organized by 42 acres, guests voluntarily hand over their phones and laptops. After a few hours, the phone sounds too nervous and the panic subsides, and you start to find 42 acres. This is the idea of 34-year-old entrepreneur Lara Tabatznik, who discovered a niche in the market for a smart, contemporary and luxurious retreat that provides a rotating, consistently excellent retreat schedule that includes yoga, foraging, meditation, bushcraft, breathing work, raw material cooking and other life-enhancing weekenders. All the experts and retreats are carefully checked to ensure a reliable program, and the lack of Wi-Fi and phone signals puts you in a room to be transformed. For potential digital detoxers struggling with the random data and locations of most wellness retreats or workshops, 42 Acres has made defrosting much less stressful.
Insider tip: It pays to splash in one of the larger rooms in the main building, because your retreat without telephone should refer to large bathrooms and reading in bed.
Looking at Deetjens in Big Sur feels like being in the cover of a 1970s Crosby, Still, Nash & Young album. Deetjens is the quirkiest, affordable, and charming of all the legendary Big Sur lodges, which remains real despite a steady stream of musicians and actors from San Francisco and LA. Deetjens Hotel is a dilapidated but extremely charming complex of buildings from the 1930s and 1940s. Deetjen's past is proud, and without a Wi-Fi or telephone signal, the historic setting can unfold its magic, offering you a true 21st-century escape in particular. Big Sur and its neighboring towns of Carmel and Monterey are surrounded by the up and coming Redwoods and have always been associated with the writers John Steinbeck, Henry Miller and Robinson Jeffers. In particular, Big Sur remains a haven for retired musicians, artists, writers and barefoot eccentrics. Let yourself be enchanted by the quirky art galleries of the region, a culinary pioneer scene, magnificent treetops and secluded coastal hiking trails. But most of all, you should enjoy every moment if you can not find something on Google, check something, or post something. Instead, let yourself be infected by the creative energy and the outdoor spirit of this culturally rich and spectacularly beautiful coastline.
Insider tip: Dinner at the on-site restaurant is expensive, but a Mexican breakfast like Huevos Rancheros will only bring you $ 11.
Some landscapes require your full attention, and the idea of being distracted from a smartphone screen in Namibia seems almost sacral. Therefore, it may be appropriate that many of the wilderness camps in Namibia are not affected by Wi-Fi. The Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is a semi-futuristic tent camp that has already won a number of design awards. The minimalist, tasteful interior adds a touch of Scandi style to your safari. This lonely stretch of coastline is named for its numerous shipwrecks and animal skulls - elephants, oryx, springboks and even lions - that line the shore. Elephants - and the rare desert lions in the right season - of the Hoanib River Valley are the main attraction here for travelers who prefer an unusual safari. The landscapes of Namibia perform their magic in record time, so you can expect your priorities to be shuffled and your Zen restored. When you leave, it will seem normal for elephants to roam the camp, and the ping of a WhatsApp message will seem strange.
Insider tip: A scenic flight to the Skeleton Coast is a must to visit the sinister shipwreck museum at Ranger's Station, full of formaldehyde snakes, whale and elephant skulls, shipwrecks, and maudlin, yellowed clippings about mariner tragedies.
Cross the suspension bridge to El Silencio and step back into life as nature intended. There are no televisions, no phone signals or Wi-Fi in this sustainable eco-lodge, but with such views you really have nothing to look for. El Silencio consists of 15 raised wooden cabins set in 500 hectares of Costa Rican jungle. The views, walks and wildlife viewing provide all the suggestions and suggestions you may need. They offer a dizzying array of activities, including ziplining, coffee tasting, cooking classes, cloud forest walks, wine tasting and waterfall and hot spring visits. And if you want to retreat inside, there is a well-stocked library to keep you entertained.
Insider tip: Leave most of the soap bag behind. El Silencio offers its own range of biodegradable shampoos and soaps. All these products are a pleasure and have minimal impact on the environment.
