Destinations With No Cell Service Where You Can Truly Unwind

Americans are using only 77 percent of their paid time off, and the decline is partially tied to recent economic problems. Use of vacation days is at the lowest point in four decades. For example, 222 million such days remained unredeemed in 2015, according to the U.S. Travel Association. This can be used as a strong argument that if you are going to take a break from everyday life, you need it to be a real break. Go to a place where no one can reach you and you are not tempted to use your phone or any other electronic device. You need to truly unplug and unwind in order to relax and recharge.

There is plenty of wildlife watching and other adventure opportunities. Stargaze from the comfort of your private balcony to enhance your vacation.

One of the best features of these beautiful national parks is the lack of cell phone service. Very few areas have it, so don't count on it. You will not have reception at Wuksachi Lodge.

The summer camp for adults' motto is "Unplug and Get Away." This is exactly what you do. You trade in your electronic gadgets to build memories that will last a lifetime.

There's no phone or service at Ultima Thule Lodge. This is one of the last places on the planet that is beyond the reaches of cell coverage and phone lines.

It is often called the most exclusive and romantic resort in all of Florida Keys. It's discreetly located and so remote; it's only accessible by seaplane or boat.
