Sometimes, the only way to truly get away is to unplug. Flying to an exotic location won't mean much if one is constantly attached to the laptop or smartphone. Go offline and focus on your well-being by going somewhere that's not so gadget-friendly. Although it might be jarring to be disconnected from the office or your Instagram feed, the experience will have you connecting with family, friends and yourself in no time. Here are a few types of vacations that will take you off the grid for your most relaxing vacation yet.

Wild encounters

No photos, emails or online memes could ever compare to the majesty of the wild. According to a report from Vogue, Jacada Travel offers what they call "detox safaris" in Tanzania, Botswana and Zambia, which takes guests to a far-flung wilderness to get a glimpse of zebras, lions and other exotic animals. Cell reception is rare and so is electricity, so travelers can get in touch with nature without distractions.

Another similar experience is the four-day Bay of Fires Lodge Walk in the remote beaches of eastern Tasmania, which includes both camping and lodge accommodations. There's also the Savute Elephant Lodge of Belmond Safaris in Botswana and the secluded Oasis Surf Camp in Santa Catalina, Panama, according to Travel Channel.

Luxury resorts

It speaks to the difficulty of unplugging nowadays that there are countless of resorts cropping up for people who are looking for a sanctuary from technology. Spend a blissful weekend off the grid at The Ranch in Malibu or Rancho La Puerta in San Diego, where reception is limited and guests are encouraged to engage in outdoor activities and commune with nature, the report from Vogue revealed.

Other places take an active role in separating the tourists from their devices. The stunning Lake Placid Lodge in New York and Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel in Pennsylvania are only two of the many resorts that require their guests to surrender their gadgets upon arrival, per Travel and Leisure.

The eco-lodge Campo Cortez in Baja, Mexico is another signal-free zone for gray whale encounters, as well as the ultra-relaxing and sustainable Lapa Rios Ecolodge in the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica, Trips to Discover revealed in a report.

Solitary adventures

Ultimately, there's really no need for fancy digs and big tours to unplug and unwind. Sometimes, it's all about setting off on your own and finding a good place to get lost in. One of the more popular adventures to embark on in the country is Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona where one can bask in the natural wonders in peace.
