Why Digital Detox is important

Welcome to LA FINCA your Mediterranean haven of peace

With screens taking up much of our attention and notifications buzzing nonstop in today's hyperconnected society, the appeal of taking a digital detox holiday is greater than ever. Disconnecting from technology and reestablishing connections with the environment and ourselves are the main priorities of these retreats.

So what precisely is a vacation with a digital detox? It goes beyond simply muting the notifications on your phone. It's all about losing oneself in experiences devoid of the digital world's distractions. This might entail:

  • Staying at tech-un-intrusive accommodations: LA FINCA and LA VILLA have all the technology you may need, but in an un-intrusive way. Our luxury villas have fire places, comfortable living arrangements and are all surrounded by a vast natural terrain. All sitting areas inside and outside are designed digital detox zone.

  • Engaging in mindful activities: From yoga retreats and meditation sessions to guided nature walks and art therapy workshops, these activities promote present-moment awareness and stress reduction. Especially LA FINCA is regularly booked for yoga retreats, but you just can order your private yoga instructor and engage in mindful exercises on our wooden yoga platform among 100-year old olive trees. Soak in their wisdom and tranquility and find your inner balance. 

  • Exploring new cultures and landscapes: Hiking through breathtaking mountains such as the Tramontana in Mallorca or the rolling green hills in Umbria while discovering truffles, snorkeling to discover the underwater-world with old ship wrecks or unique fish of the Balearics, or setting out on a whale sighting sailing adventure in the Mediterranean will expand your cultural as well as personal horizon.

  • Reconnecting with loved ones: When was the last time that you had quality time with your family and friends? Unlimited quality time without the digital distractions to focus on fostering deeper connections and creating shared memories? You never know what tomorrow will hold, so do not hesitate to experience a fulfilling Mediterranean luxury vacation in a calming environment to recharge body and soul.

Still not convinced? Here are some benefits of a digital detox vacation, which are by the way numerous:

  • Decreased anxiety and tension: The constant barrage of digital stimulation can be tiring. Disconnecting promotes relaxation and rejuvenation in the body and mind, which elevates wellbeing and mood.

  • Increased creativity and focus: When you're not distracted by digital distractions, your mind becomes clearer and you may be more creative.

  • Better relationships: You develop closer ties with yourself and other people when you are aware of and involved with your environment and friends.

  • Appreciation for nature: Spending time in outdoors inspires awe and thankfulness for the beauty that is all around us.

However, going completely digital-free can be daunting. Here are some tips for a successful digital detox vacation:

  • Start modest: Start with attainable objectives, such as allotted tech-free times or particular hobbies that require you to unplug.

  • Notify loved ones: If necessary, arrange emergency communication channels and let your family and friends know that you will not be available.

  • Accept the discomfort: You may have a strong first want to check your phone, but resist the urge and focus on the here and now.

  • Locate things you enjoy doing: Select activities that suit your interests and allow you to relax and feel connected.
