The 6 best places to unplug: U.S. analog travel destinations
Road, Outdoors, Nature

According to the #1 rated luxury travel advisor resource, Classic Vacations’ most recent 2026 Summer Travel Forecast, 67% of travel advisors say their clients are booking vacations simply to rest and relax, a sign that today’s travelers are embracing slower, more intentional getaways. The outdated concept of “go, go, go” vacations doesn’t always hold true anymore, as travelers begin to adopt the mindset that “analog travel” can sometimes be preferable.

Analog travel is a trend centered on disconnecting from devices and reconnecting with local culture, nature, and immersive experiences. While not every analog travel destination is the same, many U.S. analog travel destinations share common characteristics such as a heavy focus on nature, culture, or human connection-style activities, fewer crowds and less commercialization, and a slower pace that encourages mindfulness. There are many types of this style travel that can be geared towards your unique travel preferences, such as a reading retreat getaway for the bookworm to a stargazing adventure for nature lovers.
