Back to the grind: why a digital detox on the water is exactly what you need

In a world where we’re constantly “on,” the desire to completely switch off is growing. No emails. No WhatsApp notifications. No social pressure or endless scrolling.
Just silence. Nature. And genuine attention.

More and more people are therefore opting for a digital detox holiday: consciously going offline to recharge.

At AquaHome, we’ve known for years how valuable this can be. Our floating holiday homes, nestled in the heart of the Biesbosch National Park, provide the ideal setting for such a reset. Far from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by water, reeds, and open spaces, guests find exactly what they’re missing in everyday life: peace and quiet to breathe.

Why a digital detox?

Research shows that more and more travelers are consciously choosing places where screens don’t play a prominent role. Not out of limitation, but out of liberation.

Time in nature:

• reduces stress

• improves sleep quality

• strengthens mental balance

• creates new creativity and clarity

And where better to do that than on the water, in one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the Netherlands?

At AquaHome it’s all about experience:

• No fixed Wi-Fi, but a connection with nature

• No overcrowded agendas, but spontaneous explorations

• No constant noise, but the soft rustling of reeds and birdsong

What can you expect during a digital detox at AquaHome?

Upon arrival, you immediately notice how everything slows down. The silence of the Biesbosch embraces you, and the water naturally brings peace.

Enjoy:

• Spend the night at a unique mooring in the middle of nature

• Wake up with a view of a misty creek or golden reed collar

• Explore with an electric boat or just relax and do nothing

• Walking through rugged nature full of beavers, birds and hidden creeks

• Time for yourself, for each other, for what really matters

Guests often leave with peace of mind, color in their cheeks and the realization that less screen time often means more life .

More than a trend

A digital detox isn’t a fad; it’s a rediscovery of simplicity, mindfulness, and genuine connection.

AquaHome offers exactly the environment needed for this:
comfort, privacy and nature, without unnecessary stimuli, but with a unique experience that will last a long time.
