The Luxury of Unplugging: 6 Destinations Where Disconnection is the Point

You know that feeling when your phone pings for the fifth time during a sunset?

We’re not here for that.

Because in a world that’s always online, the new luxury is being able to unplug completely. To put your out-of-office on and actually mean it. To trade Wi-Fi bars for champagne bubbles, group chats for birdsong, and inboxes for intentional stillness.

At Milk + Honey Travels, we’ve curated six of our favorite luxury destinations for true disconnection. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, celebrating a life chapter, or just in desperate need of a reset—these places invite you to slow down and be where your feet are.

1. The Dolomites, Italy: Mountain Stillness Meets Alpine Elegance

Tucked high in northern Italy, the Dolomites offer majestic landscapes, Michelin-starred mountain huts, and design-forward chalets. Many resorts intentionally limit Wi-Fi access—so your mornings are for hiking and hammam visits, not email.

Perfect for: Empty nesters and couples who want beauty, stillness, and breathtaking trails right outside their door.

2. Patagonia, Chile: Wild, Remote, and Remarkably Luxe

The journey here is part of the reset. But once you arrive? Think silence, stargazing, and wind-swept wonders. Luxury eco-lodges like Awasi Patagonia are entirely off-grid—with private guides, curated experiences, and not a Zoom call in sight.

Best for: Adventurous duos craving solitude, story-worthy landscapes, and intentional disconnection.

3. Mnemba Island, Zanzibar: A Barefoot Private Island Escape

Just off the coast of Tanzania lies Mnemba Island, a private-island resort where barefoot is the dress code and the guest count never exceeds 20. There’s no Wi-Fi in the rooms—and no need for it.

Why it works: You’ll trade screen time for sea turtles, reef dives, and intimate dinners under the stars.

4. Amangiri, Utah: Desert Solitude with Architectural Drama

Nestled into the red rocks of the American Southwest, Amangiri is a minimalist masterpiece designed for peace. It’s remote, reverent, and rivals any international destination in both service and serenity.

Ideal for: Honeymooners or solo travelers who want to feel small in the best way.

5. Bhutan: Where Disconnection is Cultural, Not Just Intentional

The kingdom of Bhutan has long prioritized Gross National Happiness over GDP—and that ethos flows through every guest experience. Many luxury properties here embrace mindful travel, from guided meditation to nature immersion.

Bonus: Some regions still restrict phone use in public spaces, making presence the default.

6. The Maldives (Select Resorts): Disconnect to Reconnect

Yes, some Maldives resorts offer high-speed Wi-Fi. But others, like Gili Lankanfushi, actively encourage a digital detox. Villas over water, sunset hammocks, jungle spas—and no pressure to post.

Best for: Couples who want dreamy indulgence without digital distraction.

Because Sometimes the Best Signal Is No Signal at All

There’s nothing wrong with loving your phone or your feeds. But every now and then, travel should offer you something deeper: the space to pause. To reconnect—with your partner, with yourself, and with the world in front of you.
