World No Wi-Fi Day: 3 Dream Destinations If You Hit the Jackpot

How long could you go without checking a notification? World No Wi-Fi Day, observed on November 8, is a good excuse to imagine a few days away from your screen. And if you hit the Mega Millions jackpot, where would you go? These three getaways offer very different views and plenty of reasons to put your phone down.

World No Wi-Fi Day in Alaska: Watch the Northern Lights

Getting to Sheldon Chalet is part of the adventure. A helicopter takes you into the Alaska Range, where a private retreat sits among the mountains of Denali National Park.

After a meal prepared by the chalet’s chef, you could settle in by the fire or step outside to look for the Northern Lights. Aurora season runs from September through April, although a sighting is never guaranteed. Even on a cloudy night, being surrounded by snowy peaks might be enough to make you forget what’s happening on your phone.

The Point, New York: Let the Lake Set the Pace

On the shore of Upper Saranac Lake, The Point occupies a former Rockefeller family estate. Days here can unfold slowly: a walk through the woods, an afternoon by the water and dinner around a table with other guests.

The resort encourages that slower pace by asking guests to keep calls to their rooms and limit device use in shared spaces. Wi-Fi is available in a designated area and can be requested in guest rooms. You can still check in when you need to, then head back out to enjoy the lake.

Amangiri, Utah: Find Some Quiet in the Desert

At Amangiri, modern suites blend into Utah’s red-rock landscape. The pool curves around a natural rock formation, with mesas and canyons stretching into the distance.

You could spend the morning on a desert walk, visit the spa or take your coffee outside and watch the light change across the stone. With a view like that, leaving your phone in your room might come naturally.

World No Wi-Fi Day lasts just one day, but it’s fun to imagine a longer escape. Alaska’s mountains, a New York lake or the Utah desert: if you won a Mega Millions jackpot with TuLotero, where would you go to disconnect?
