As a society, we’ve never been more reachable. We’re constantly connected, constantly scrolling, constantly distracted by the steady lighting up of our phones with a never-ending barrage of news. The average American checks their phone 144 times a day, incessantly chasing fleeting hits of dopamine.
Between that, the increased focus on mental health—and the popularity of The White Lotus, whose latest season takes place at a luxe wellness resort in Thailand—it’s no surprise that search interest for “digital detox retreat” has increased by 50% in the past year, per Business Insider. A 2025 Hilton Trends Report found that a quarter of respondents say they now turn off social media during vacation, while another quarter say they try to limit their time on digital devices while away.
That’s entry-level stuff. Increasingly, true luxury is being fully offline: Being completely unreachable is the ultimate power move. And hotels and resorts are taking note, with more and more offering digital detox retreats, concierges, and dedicated programming.
If you’re ready to swap screens for Zen in sumptuous surrounds, we’ve found the most incredible resorts at which to fully unplug.
Urban Cowboy Lodge Resort in Big Indian, New York
Cowboy Core is so hot right now. Hit two trends with one stay at Urban Cowboy Lodge Resort, a Western-styled boutique hotel where rustic Americana meets eclectic design with antler chandeliers, Native-American-inspired wallpaper, and huge copper soaking tubs.
Sitting on 200 acres in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, 2.5 hours from New York City, the resort encourages city slickers to “get back to nature” and sends each guest a message ahead of their stay asking them whether they’d like to forgo connecting their devices to the on-site Wi-Fi. If they say yes, they trade their phones for an instant camera, a notepad, and a portable cassette player with a curated selection of tapes, as well as a list of activities and a map of local hotspots to check out. These include hitting the hotel’s sauna after a dip in the creek, bowling at its retro-looking alley, making s’mores at the fire pit, and grabbing a meal at Phoenicia Diner or bubbles at Le Canard Enchaine.
Eremito in Umbria, Italy
To kick it old-school—or rather, put yourself in the slippers of a medieval monk—there’s Eremito, a former monastery in Umbria lovingly restored by an erstwhile fashion designer. Sitting on a hilltop overlooking 7,400 acres of protected forest, the 14th-century stone building has no Wi-Fi, no phone signal, and no TVs.
Eremito boasts that it has the smallest rooms in Europe: Its 12 single-occupancy, 100-square-foot celluzze are intentionally simple, yet impeccably designed (the hotel is part of Design Hotels). Atmospheric common spaces are covered in rugs and cushion seating, fires crackling in massive stone hearths amid a sea of candles. Dinners—four-course vegetarian feasts made from seasonal vegetables and fruit grown on-site, as well as homemade bread and pasta, all paired with ample wine—are eaten at communal tables in silence. Days are spent meditating, doing yoga, and taking walks around the hotel’s 160 acres of tangled forest—the sound of phones beeping replaced by birdsong—as well as enjoying the spa’s sauna, hammam, Jacuzzi, and Thai massages.
Six Senses Vana in Dehradun, India
Six Senses resorts are known for their focus on rejuvenation, as well as their incredible, usually remote locations and minimalist design marked by light woods, clean lines, and harmony with the natural environment.
Upon arrival at the super sleek Six Senses Vana, which sits in the Himalayan foothills across 21 acres of lush Sal tree forest, guests are encouraged to surrender their devices—phone use is limited to designated areas and rooms. A dedicated (and personalized) “Detox Program” takes unplugging a step further: Available as a five-, seven-, or 14-day experience, it’s designed to eliminate toxins, restore balance, and recalibrate body and mind. Digital disconnection is fostered through a lineup of yoga, meditation, breathwork sessions, Ayurvedic treatments, and Tibetan healing therapies, paired with a light, protein-based diet that supports detoxification. Aside from promising to improve energy levels, speed up metabolism, and leave guests with more radiant skin, the program also aims to pave the way to healthier habits and routines.
The Sanctuary Beach Resort in Marina, California
Views of the shimmering Pacific and the craggy coastline of Monterey Bay will quickly draw your attention away from your phone at this 19-acre oceanfront resort, whose timeless, California cool bungalows sit atop windswept sand dunes. The resort’s location next to the National Marine Sanctuary adds to the tranquil vibes, but for those who still can’t quite unplug, there’s the “Burnout Recovery Journey,” intended to combat tech burnout and rejuvenate mind, body, and soul. Aside from providing a phone bag that blocks all signals for the digital detox portion of the journey, it also includes custom sleep hypnosis audio, a relaxation massage, and use of a high-tech workout mat that combines infrared therapy and pulsed electromagnetic fields to promote recovery, natural energy, and deep relaxation.
The on-site restaurant, Salt Wood Kitchen and Oysterette, is one of Monterey’s best, and the spa keeps guests engaged with activities like chakra alignment reiki, beachside yoga sessions, and sound baths.
Canouan Estate in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
The Caribbean island of Canouan may only measure five square miles and have more tortoises than residents, but it’s home to the ultra-exclusive Canouan Estate development, which includes Soho Beach House Canouan, Mandarin Oriental, Canouan, and Canouan Estate Resort Villas. Bloomberg described it as “where the billionaires go to get away from the millionaires,” and amenities here appropriately include a private jet and a Michelin-starred chef. While this already sounds like an escape from reality, all three resorts offer tech-free rooms and dedicated Digital Detox Concierges that provide printed maps, Polaroid cameras, and diaries, and curate offline experiences like snorkeling in the uninhabited islands of nearby Tobago Cays. Mornings kick off with complimentary wellness sessions, including yoga, meditation, and breathwork, while afternoons are filled with live music and cocktails.
Nimmo Bay Resort in Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia, Canada
Nimmo Bay Resort is a remote luxury destination nestled in the Great Bear Rainforest on the rugged West Coast of Canada. Guests here have no choice but to disconnect, as the property—accessible only by air or sea—and its surrounding wilderness are completely free of cell phone service. While there is Wi-Fi at the lodge, it can be blocked from cabins upon request. And for those who need the extra push, cellphone boxes at the main office allow them to leave their gadgets behind. Instead of refreshing their Instagram, guests here can take a refreshing dip in the bay to swim out to the resort’s floating sauna, enjoy soothing massages and yoga sessions, explore local wildlife like bears and whales on hikes or helicopter tours, and savor locally foraged meals prepared over an open flame.
Nine private chalets beckon, each featuring cozy interiors with leather couches, sheepskin throws, and buffalo plaid blankets, as well as private decks from which to hear the gushing of a nearby waterfall (which happens to supply almost 80% of the resort s energy).
Grand Velas Resorts in Riviera Maya, Riviera Nayarit, and Los Cabos, Mexico
Grand Velas Resorts are known to turn the sometimes unsavory preconceptions of all-inclusives on their head with their four luxury properties in Mexico (which have a combined 43 AAA Diamonds—one even boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant). At all resorts, a “Detox Concierge” is on hand to aid guests in their digital recovery, “cleansing” suites by replacing TVs with board games before whisking away electronics. For extra motivation, participants are given T-shirts that say “We are digital detoxing” as well as a timer displayed in the lobby that features their names and how much time they’ve spent sans cell. With a sprawling spa and fitness center, a variety of pools, and a range of complimentary activities like yoga, kayaking, sailing, and mezcal tastings, guests just might forget all about their phones.
Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
Bali, also known as the “Island of the Gods,” is deeply rooted in spirituality, and Ubud is known as its spiritual capital. At Mandapa in Ubud (whose name translates to “temple” in Sanskrit), the “Disconnect to Reconnect” program emboldens guests to discover this spiritual heritage by temporarily disconnecting from their devices with a regimen of guided meditation, yoga, and spa therapies that promote relaxation and mindfulness, as well as personalized sessions focused on mental clarity and stress management. Guests can also participate in traditional Balinese rituals, temple visits, and nature walks, and for families that want to disconnect together, there’s “The Mandapa Camp Experience” with activities like cooking classes, customized yoga sessions, and immersive farm visits.
The resort itself is designed to resemble a traditional Balinese village, with suites and private pool villas sprinkled across a jungle-covered hillside, a working rice field and century-old Hindu temple at its center. Blending cultural heritage and modern design, natural materials such as teak wood, stone, and bamboo dominate, complemented by locally sourced art and textiles.
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort in the Maldives
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort offers a “Hermit Days Silent Immersion Package” on top of their “Digital Detox” program for those who need to go cold turkey. This means not only giving up digital devices upon landing at the 81-room resort via seaplane, but also foregoing almost all contact with others. Boundaries surrounding communication are arranged in advance (guests can check in with their dedicated Island Curators and Wellness Mentors at meeting points or by using messaging boxes), and meals and wellness treatments, from yoga and sound healing to massages and wraps, can be enjoyed in private overwater villas (with private infinity pools) for as long as guests choose to participate.
Under Canvas in National Parks Nationwide
There’s nothing quite like the great outdoors to naturally stimulate the brain’s reward system. And if you’re going to enjoy some fresh air, why not do it at an iconic national park? Not only are all Under Canvas properties (13 camps consisting of stylish safari-style tents) near some of the greatest U.S. national parks (from Acadia and the Grand Canyon to Yellowstone), they’re all intentionally Wi-Fi-free. Guests are encouraged to stop scrolling and start engaging in unforgettable excursions like private jeep tours, sunset ATVing, stargazing, and more (all bookable through the camps’ Adventure Concierges), before rehashing the day’s adventures over locally sourced meals like cilantro lime marinated skirt steak and s’mores roasted over communal firepits.
Villa Stéphanie in Baden-Baden, Germany
In the famous spa town of Baden-Baden and boasting the Black Forest as its backdrop, Villa Stéphanie is part Beaux-Arts mansion and part futuristic clinic with an incredibly pedigreed medical team. It was built in 1890 as a royal residence for Stéphanie de Beauharnais, Grand Duchess of Baden and adopted daughter of Napoleon I, and retains its Old-World opulence.
Everything at the 15-room hotel (an Oetker Collection Masterpiece Hotel, to which Le Bristol Paris and Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc also belong) is focused on health and wellness: the five-floor, 54,000-square-foot medi-spa has a massive pool, hammam, sauna, treatment rooms, and gym, as well as a variety of doctors, therapists, and nutritional experts on-hand. However, one of its more unique amenities is the bedside “digital detox” switch that turns off the internet and powers down all of your room’s electronic devices with one click.
