Five Honeymoon Places With No Phone Network!

|
We love wedding hash tags, wedding snap chats and wedding insta stories! But imagine a week your new hubby, a wedding glow and nothing else to interrupt! So satisfying. Honeymoon ’grams are, admittedly, another thing we love, but if you use this precious romantic vacation time to disconnect with your devices and connect with your brand-new spouse, you definitely won’t regret the invaluable memories and experiences. Here, five places to escape to together for an unplugged honeymoon!
Lapa Rios Ecolodge, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
As the name suggests, Lapa Rios Ecolodge is an eco-friendly resorts that believes in unplugging in every way. Made up of just 16 eco-friendly bungalows nestled within the rainforest of Osa Peninsula, a haven of eco-tourism and sustainability, this delightful resort more than makes up for its lack of Internet and phone access with the sounds of the rainforest—the crickets, cicadas and kinkajous. So your most difficult decision every day will be whether to get a spa treatment, enjoy a dip in the pool or a luxurious nap in a hammock!
The InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa - Natadola Bay, Fiji
If you are staying at the resort's exclusive Club InterContinental, you can opt for the ‘Ultimate Break’ by ditching the phone, computer and giving up Wi-Fi access. In return, you get your own Itokani Butler to act as an executive assistant during your stay. Beware though: Guests who are caught catching up on e-mails or making calls after choosing to disconnect are susceptible to "pampering penalties" issued at the discretion of the butler. But don't worry; the penalties include things like spending an hour in the pool or enjoying cocktails and canapés at sunset. Your butler will also relay any important messages that come via the hotel reception desk, so you aren't totally out of the loop!
Vana Malsi Estate, Dehradun
Looking for something closer to home? You are do that perfectly in the mountains! Experience harmony of body and mind amongst Indian orchards as you recharge post-wedding on a digital detox honeymoon in India. Learn how to breathe and re-centre yourselves with guided yoga classes on a yoga honeymoon and embrace the absence of technology as you connect with each other on every level. Together with personalised holistic treatments and wellness workshops, you’ll return home a happier and healthier newlywed couple!
Singita Explore Tented Camp, Tanzania
Want a good distraction from the digital world? Visit the Serengeti and staring at majestic elephants, regal lions and hungry hippos. Jacada Travel offers a digital detox safari on 350,000 private acres where you won't be surrounded by cellphone towers or TV. You can stay in luxe canvas tents, dine under the stars and generally disconnect in no time. After all, you will have the National Geographic channel in real time, all day, every day!
Three Camel Lodge, Gobi Desert, Mongolia
This one needs a little grit, as the nearest Wi-Fi is 300 miles away from the Three Camel Lodge, an eco-lodge located in the heart of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. Disconnect to electronics and reconnect to nature by exploring the surrounding hills, desert, mountains and springs while watching for herds of Bactrian camel. You’ll stay in one of 20 deluxe ‘gers’ – round, lattice-wood tents covered with felt and canvas and traditionally used by nomadic herders. Each one includes a private bathroom, and is heated by a woodstove. Local, unplugged and totally natural!
