Restival: The Life-Changing Digital Detox In The Desert

If the thought of being separated from your technological devices leaves you feeling more than a little bit out of your comfort zone then maybe the best way to fight your addiction is to face it head on. In fact, perhaps you should get as far away from your comfort zone as humanly possible – say the Sahara desert?

Now, before you have a melt down and imagine yourself wandering aimlessly through the sand with nothing but the social media sweats, we’ve discovered an option that couldn’t be more different. From Kasbahs at sunset to Saharan sun baths, if a mind- altering experience is what you need to break the cycle then our friends at Restival have got the solution.

WHAT IS RESTIVAL?

Set in the middle of the medita surrounded by Saharan sand dunes, Restival’s luxury eco camp doesn’t come with an Internet connection, but we’re pretty sure you’ll get over it. Instead of checking your Instagram feed or working your way through a never-ending inbox, you’ll be invited to take part in meditation and yoga sessions, try sandboarding and camel rides and express yourself through writing, art and mindfulness workshops. So we can guarantee surfing the web will be the last thing on your mind.

In order to keep your body energised and your mind focused you’ll be treated to healthy and nutritious whole foods (all locally sourced) prepared by the Camp’s partners, Native Highs.
