Is Being Offline the Latest Luxury? Here Are 11 Stunning Resorts Where You Can Digital Detox
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.
