Déconnexion numérique en 2026

• Honest, upfront disclosure of connectivity: 'no Wi-Fi in rooms, patchy signal on property' beats a vague 'digital detox' label
• Lockable phone boxes, analog clocks, real keys and printed maps at check-in
• Rooms without TVs, or with a hidden/opt-in TV; blackout curtains and quality bedding tuned for deep sleep
• Slow, unhurried check-in with a human walkthrough of the property and the day's rhythm
• Meals with fixed times and shared tables to replace scrolling with conversation
• Flexible cancellation and clear emergency-contact protocol for family back home

• Library of physical books, board games, decks of cards, journals and good pens
• Guided walks, forest bathing, stargazing, sunrise viewpoints and cold plunges
• Simple wellness stack: sauna, hot tub, massage, breathwork — no screen-based classes
• Kitchen that can serve a proper carb-rich dinner and an early breakfast for hikers
• Shared fire pit, outdoor dining and long tables that make conversation the default
• Optional 'concierge phone' at reception for anyone who genuinely needs to make a call

• Marketed as 'digital detox' but every common area has a TV and background music from a streaming app
• Staff visibly on phones, QR-code-only menus, tablets to order breakfast
• No plan for genuine emergencies — guests need to feel safe unplugging, not cut off
• Hidden fees for basic analog amenities (books, bikes, board games, thermos of tea)

Peak-season off-grid inventory books 6-9 months out; shoulder-season and last-minute burnout escapes fill 2-6 weeks out. Corporate/founder sabbaticals plan 3-12 months in advance around a project handoff.
