A digital detox improves sleep quality, cognitive function, focus and mental wellbeing. We specialise in helping you switch off from your notifications and recharging in nature.
TIME AWAY FROM DEVICES
A digital detox, or social media detox, is a period of time when you intentionally take a break from your digital devices such as smartphones and laptops.
Digital devices are designed to be addictive, keeping us distracted and our brains busy. Unplugging from your devices can help you you reconnect and refocus.

THE UNPLUGGED EXPERIENCE
72 hours is just enough time for you to recognise your screen time habits and improve your mental wellbeing. Known as the "3 Day Effect", spending 3 nights away from technology and in nature will lower your stress levels and improve your cognitive function.
Digital detoxing helps kickstarts your journey to a better relationship with your phone.
A digital detox is a (much needed) break from technology. It can mean anything from abstaining from you phone and social media for a week to putting your phone away at dinner time. Digital detoxing is increasing in popularity due to the increase in social media anxiety and our ever decreasing attention spans. We all know it too - 62% of UK adults say they hate how much time they spend on their phone.
You can do a digital detox for as little or as long as you like. We recommend at least 3 nights (72 hours) to break the habit and retrain your digital habits.
Digital detoxing has many benefits, including better sleep quality, reduced anxiety and increased productivity. If you feel like you're spending too much time on your phone, it's impacting your happiness or damaging your health - you might need a digital detox.
We make it easy for you to switch off by providing you with a phone lockbox and everything you need to live offline. Our cabins are built for digital detoxing and helping you recharge in nature.
After your Unplugged digital detox kickstart, you could try the following at home

We recommend at least one 3 night digital detox per year, but you can do as many as you like. At Unplugged, we take one digital detox a quarter - so four times a year.
At home, you should regularly take mini-detoxes to reduce your digital dependency and maintain a healthy relationship with your devices.
