To reconnect with yourself, you have to disconnect from your devices first. Your quality of sleep can hugely improve and you will feel astonishingly refreshed and restored. You will learn about your technology habits while all stresses from normal daily life are alleviated. Giving your mind time to unwind leaves you feeling inspired for a new, healthier mindset and a better ability to focus.

What can you do in a digital detox accommodation?

You can leave your smartphone and digital devices to your host to lock them until you check out. It’s a wonderful chance to escape and understand how your lifestyle is taking its toll on your well-being. In a digital detox accommodation, you can connect with your partner, relax reading a book, and resting from modernity, avoiding updating the world on what you are doing.

You will learn about yourself and have a lot of time to reflect on your life and how to overcome challenges. These are the very best accommodations to have the most memorable digital detox holidays in Croatia. Maybe you’ll find yourself while you’re there:
