Off-the-Grid Destinations for a Digital Detox
Newsweek US|April 28 - May 05, 2023 (Double Issue)
Push alerts, the ringing phone, texts, emails, pop-up meeting requests and video conferences-it seems like we can't ever quite get away from the digital lifestyle that has transformed the way we work. But...you actually can. There are plenty of intriguing destinations-both nearby and far away from work and home-that encourage you to leave the digitally connected world behind. When you want to take the road less traveled for an adventure, relax at an all-inclusive relaxation-focused experience, or simply commune with nature; there are incredible destinations just waiting... with no distractions

Off-the-Grid Destinations for a Digital Detox

01 All Points North 

Ultima Thule Lodge

CHITINA, ALASKA

Bears, moose, eagles, oh my! Wild, raw experiences are this site's specialty. Hundreds of miles from paved roads, the lodge sits on the banks of a glacial river inside North America's largest national park. It's part of a UNESCO World Heritage Monument. Explore, hike and fly into the wild during the day, then enjoy the wood-fired sauna in Alaskan serenity.

02 Perched on the Pacific 

Treebones Resort

BIG SUR, CALIFORNIA

Mid-California's coastline is known for two thingsits beauty and its lack of cellphone signal. Surround yourself with a winning combination of the Pacific Ocean's stunning coastline and enormous redwood trees while indulging in hikes, yoga and a massage. Glamping yurt and tent stays at this beachside resort will resume shortly, when Highway 1 reopens from the most recent flooding.

03 No Cars Allowed 

Len Foote Hike Inn

DAWSONVILLE, GEORGIA

The Appalachian Trail starts in Georgia and continues north all the way to Maine. Along the way, there are cabins where cell signal is nonexistent. The Len Foote Hike Inn is not the exception, but a stay here is an exceptional experience with a small lodge where family-style dining, stunning views and relaxation are on tap and well worth the five-mile hike necessary to get there.

04 Lush Rainforest 

Lapa Rios Lodge

OSA PENINSULA, COSTA RICA
