Don’t get us wrong: We love our iPads, phones, laptops, and e-readers. But sometimes all that tech can really take us out of the moment. For our next vacation, we’re going cold turkey by ditching our devices and completely unplugging. Luckily, several hotels are now offering no-gadget packages to help us take a break from technology.

Lake Placid Lodge: When you sign up for this Adirondack lodge’s two-night “Check-In to Check-Out” package, expect to leave all electronic devices at the front desk. Instead, spend the weekend hiking and reading New York Times best sellers. $1,340 for two nights.

Echo Valley Ranch and Spa: The new digital detox package at this British Columbia, Canada, ranch includes a hot-oil massage, guided horseback ride, and complimentary iPhone app that disables your smartphone during your stay. To further combat Candy Crush addiction, the hotel switches off satellite connection on select weekends.

Westin Dublin: Explore the Irish capital sans iPhone with the Westin’s new digital detox package, which includes breakfast in bed, complimentary massages, self-guided walking tours, and an in-room safe in which to hide your technology.

Finally, The Digital Detox offers tech-free retreats all over the world, where guests unplug with yoga, breath work, and healthy eating. Up next: a mindfulness meditation weekend in the Redwood forest.
