The new luxury is reconnecting with nature

For many travelers, luxury now means fewer screens, less noise, and the time and space to reconnect with the outdoors.

Most people don’t realize how overstimulated they are until they finally step away from the noise. As an executive at a hospitality brand that helps guests reconnect with nature, I see it all the time: Guests arrive tense and distracted, constantly checking their phones. But after just a day or two offline in nature, something shifts. You can see it in their posture, their breath, their pace.
