Travelers are increasingly looking for remote, sustainable stays that offer both digital interruption and premium equipment, such as new data from the luxury vacation rental platform Plum Guide.
The company reports an increase in bookings for remote, rural real estate by 17%, while the search for “digital detoxification” accommodations from 2023 to 2024, according to keywords, has more than tripled everywhere. The inquiries about digital detoxification -friendly houses have increased by 22%.
“We definitely see a shift in what high-end travelers are currently wanting. They are increasingly looking for annoyance, where they can separate and charge, but without affecting luxury” Plum Guide. “It is about finding this sweet spot between serenity and comfort. You want privacy, sustainability and the chance of the plug, but you still expect the high-end services and equipment that define a first-class experience.” 
The trend includes several countries, with real estate from solar -powered desert houses in California to remote windmills in Portugal.
Many offer eco-loans while maintaining luxury standards and combining remote locations with services such as private chefs and guided wilderness adventures.
