Nayara Springs (Arenal Volcano National Park, Costa Rica)

Although the secluded villas at the luxe, adults-only resort Nayara Springs are ensconced in Costa Rican rainforest, there's technically Wi-Fi at this hideaway — unless guests sign up for the Digital Detox package. Those who dare are invited to fork over tablets, smartphones and laptops to hotel staff and revel in the tech-free silence that results. Those feeling antsy without their gadgets can chill out with a 45-minute hot stone massage, daily meditation classes and a dip in the property's natural mineral hot springs jacuzzi.

BanuBanu Beach Resort (Bremer Island, Australia)

With a maximum occupancy of just 16 souls, BanuBanu Beach Resort in Australia's remote Bremer Island takes unplugging to a whole new level. There isn't any cell service on the island, rooms don't have televisions and all gadgets are solar-powered. Really need to make a call? Stand on a tall sand dune and hope for the best.

Rancho La Puerta (Tecate, Mexico)

Need a reset? The 4,000-acre Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico, offers a one-week fitness-and-relaxation program that aims to help guests recalibrate and recharge. There are no TVs or Wi-Fi in the rooms, with only a very limited amount cell service reserved for a handful of Internet-equipped lounges. Also, there's a strict no-cell-phone policy in all public areas. Still not quiet enough? Every Thursday, the resort offers a meditative "Silent Dinner," at which guests ditch their phones and enjoy a meal without uttering a single word.

Petit St. Vincent Island & Resort (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines)

On the southern tip of the Grenadines in the Caribbean, the lush 115-acre island of St. Vincent is home to Petit St. Vincent, a luxury resort with every amenity you can think of... except Wi-Fi. The exclusive retreat purposely nixed connectivity — there aren't televisions, either — to help guests unplug. Don't worry, between seaside yoga sessions and guided scuba dives, you'll hardly miss Instagram.
