A digital detox from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter that surround us constantly is a perfect way to push away the fear that we cannot live without them and focus our energy to something really worthwhile. Hotels from every part of the world offer such breaks and encourage travelers to disconnect and relax. In these accommodations there is no internet connection possibility nor a telephone and offer a wide choice of activities, such as meditation, yoga and contact with nature and animals.
