11 Digital Detox Retreats and Strategies to Escape Screens and Recharge

6. Treehotel (Sweden) — Off-grid canopy stays that force a slower pace

Treehotel’s architect-designed cabins perched in the forest encourage a slower tempo and a reconnection to the rhythms of nature. Unique rooms—each with a distinct design—invite guests to read, walk, and stargaze. Many visitors report fewer nighttime interruptions and deeper sleep when they remove screens and experience genuine darkness. Forest bathing is a popular local activity and offers measurable stress reduction through immersion in the natural environment. Services are modern yet unobtrusive; some properties provide Wi‑Fi only in limited areas, which helps guests self-regulate technology use. For photographers and nature lovers, the hotel’s setting is a strong draw, but those seeking intensive group programs should look for retreat-specific offerings that use Treehotel as a base. Check seasonal availability because northern light viewing and winter solitudes are distinct experiences from summer’s midnight sun.
