DIGITAL DETOX 3-8 OCT 2020 ICELAND
LOCATION
Our Iceland digital detox retreat takes place in a remote and peaceful wilderness, the perfect place for replacing mindless scrolling with a mindful connection with nature and the great outdoors. We have created a programme that combines digital detox, yoga and lots of exploring, so that you can truly immerse yourself in all that Iceland has to offer. Some of these are included in your package and others are optional, so that you can choose whether to do everything or take time to chill when you need to.
October is an ideal time to watch the Northern Lights and our secluded location with no light pollution means that if they happen, we’ll have a fantastic show! Our private farm includes luxury cabins that look out onto the mountains, a traditional farmhouse, yoga barn, bath house, sauna and outdoor hot tub.
A trip to this part of Iceland would not be complete without a day out at the world famous Lake Mývatn geothermal region, where all that makes Iceland so unique can be experienced within a few hours, from powerful waterfalls, volcanoes, geothermal activity and a nature spa. You can add options to hike or ride Icelandic horses in the mountains and enjoy epic vistas while whale watching on the fjord.
DIGITAL DETOX
At the beginning of the digital detox retreat we will have a ritual ‘handing-in’ of phones, tablets, laptops, fitbits, kindles, game consoles and any digital device with a screen. We’ll keep all your digital gadgets safe for you until it’s time to leave.
There’s an emergency landline phone number you can give to those who might need to get hold of you, and we will give you details of this when you book.
TRAVEL
The nearest airport is Akureyri. You can fly from the UK with Iceland Air, BA, Wizz Air and Easyjet from London to Keflavik international airport and then transfer to the domestic airport for a short flight north to Akureyri. We will send all the details when you book. Airport transfers from Akureyri are included in your retreat price. We will send pick up and drop times when you you book.
