Beautiful sunrise over famous Balinese landmark Tegalalang rice terraces. Magic sun rays, amazing light.

Blissful Bali

Patches of Bali may have been taken over by phone-wielding influencer zombies, but don’t make eye contact and leave your devices at the hotel and you won’t catch the bug. Ironically, this paradisiacal Indonesian island is the perfect place to go phone-free, as our immersive 12-day adventure attests. Sunlit rice paddies, sacred temples and hidden waterfalls will transport you far from the drones of modern tech, while a sunrise hike up Mount Batur will remind you of the joyous power of the great outdoors. Our luxurious island retreat in the Gili Islands will have plenty of modern amenities, but why bother take advantage when you can simply snorkel with sea turtles or chill on the beach?

Georgia and the Caucasus

We’re not actually sure what the cell service is like high up in the Caucasus Mountains, but why would you bother check with views like this to distract you? Georgia is a truly remarkable country, somehow relatively undiscovered on the Eurasian border. Our nine-day trip here offers immersion in both jaw-dropping natural surroundings and unique, ancient cultural experiences. You’ll sample traditional Georgian dishes and take an expert cooking class at a local chef’s home, experience a traditional toastmaster ceremony and learn about the country’s ancient winemaking techniques, as well as having an opportunity to soak in Tbilisi’s unique sulphur baths. On the outdoorsy front you’ll trek through the hilly forests of Lagodekhi National Park and check out Truso Gorge, but the highlight comes on a properly remote hike high in the Caucasus, heading towards the charming fairytale church of Gergeti, which stands quaintly in the shadow of Mount Kazbegi. If the three-hour walk doesn’t take your breath away, then the surrounding vistas will, and you’ll never have felt further away from modern technology.

Puntarenas Province, Monteverde, Costa Rica

The Real Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a real natural paradise, with its volcanic hot springs, ethereal cloud forests and gorgeous sandy coastlines. You’ll get to explore the lot on this escapist eight-day tour, which starts in Arenal Volcano National Park, where we’ll soak in natural hot springs, splash about in hidden waterfalls and go on a sloth-spotting tour. You’ll take a leaf out of their laid-back book as we head to mountainous Monteverde for nighttime cloud forest walks and a mouthwatering Costa Rican cooking class. Heart rates rise once more as we whitewater raft down Tenorio River and surf in Tamarindo, but you can always opt to laze on the beach if you’re vibing with the sloth speed of life. Just remember, their long claws are no good for scrolling, so don’t get any ideas.
