Amidst a universe of constant pings and performance boards, more and more CEOs are opting for silence over screens. July 2025 has witnessed a wave of executive retreats to digital detox locations—locales where there is no WiFi, but clarity is in abundance.

Top Destinations CEOs Are Flocking To

Ibiza, España

Renowned for pine forests and private bays, Ibiza boasts sunrise yoga, clifftop strolls, and zero connectivity zones
Es Portitxol, a secluded cove, is a very favourite spot for contemplation and seclusion

Blackberry Mountain, Tennessee, USA

Solitude and luxury with no cell phone signal and wellorganized activities for wellness
CEOs engage in pottery, guided walks, and forest bathing

Bhutan

The Land of Happiness values nature immersion and sensitivity
Valley walks and ancient monasteries substitute for conferences and mail

Finland, Lapland

Arctic log cabins and glass igloos offer Northern Lights and total digital blackout
Dog sledding and hunting the aurora induce mental reboot

Fogo Island, Canada

Offgrid design and communitybased experiences
Leaders reengage with local craftsmanship and storytelling

Why It Matters:

CEOs sleep better, make better decisions, and are more creative after detox
Nature exposure and inperson socializing are found to be more restorative than upscale spas
The trend represents a larger cultural move towards conscious disconnection and recalibration of affect
