Sometimes the most restful thing a trip can offer is a break from the phone. Few hotels publish a formal 'unplugged' program, so we split this list in two: places that say so in writing, and places remote enough that switching off comes naturally.
Which luxury stays offer a formal unplugged option?
Quick answer
It depends how strict you want to be. These publish one, as of October 24, 2026:
Amangiri
Canyon Point, Utah · Silent Session
A Silent Session where you disconnect from devices, plus mindfulness walks and floating meditation in a heated desert pool. See it on High Vibe Vacay.
Food note: Ask the kitchen ahead for gluten-, dairy- and egg-free plates; we have not seen a published policy covering all three.

Which remote stays make it easy to switch off?
It depends on how far you will travel. These are remote by setting; check Wi-Fi and cell coverage with the property, since most do offer connectivity.

How do you unplug on any trip?
It depends on your work, but these help: set an out-of-office with one emergency contact; ask the hotel to remove the TV or leave the remote at the desk; keep your phone in the room safe during meals; book activities that leave the phone behind (a spa session, a hike, a ride); and print or save your itinerary offline so you do not need to check email.
FAQ
Is there a hotel that takes your phone?
Some offer it on request; Amangiri publishes a Silent Session where you disconnect from devices (checked October 24, 2026). Ask the front desk anywhere to hold your phone. - On High Vibe Vacay: See the stay · Request this stay
Will I have Wi-Fi at remote lodges?
Usually yes, though it can be slow. Ask the property if you need it for emergencies.
