Digital Detox Retreats Gain Popularity
More people are going on special holidays called digital detox retreats.
These retreats are places where you can't use the internet or your phone.
They are usually in beautiful, quiet places like the countryside.
Some places, like Samsu in Ireland, have cabins with no Wi-Fi and only simple things like books and board games.
Other places, like Unplugged, have cabins in the UK and Spain where you can lock up your phone.
There are also fun retreats like The Detox Barn in Suffolk, where you can eat good food, go for walks, and enjoy sound baths.
All these places help people take a break from their phones and enjoy nature and simple activities.
