At Harvard University, students don’t always leave campus for year-end holidays because the research they’re undertaking is too exciting to leave behind. What kind of research is this important? The science of digital detoxes. One student researcher was surprised to find “wildly different reactions” among study participants who were asked: “Ever thought a break from social media might be good for your headspace?”
“New research suggests you’re onto something,” say student researchers undertaking this study who asked subjects to take detox breaks. First findings were hopeful. Participants found that their anxiety levels had dropped 16.1%, depression decreased by 24.8%, and 14.5% reported a drop in insomnia.
This “voluntary social media detox” was deemed successful and continues, and if you’re looking to break your “too much time on digital devices” habit, you don’t have to go to Harvard to change your behavior: Pair a luxe island vacation with a commitment to cut back, and even a short stay at adults-only Coco Plum Island Resort will make a difference. Here’s how…
The island of diversions awaits
From the moment couples arrive on Coco Plum, they notice a difference between this and other adults-only resorts. Rather than a building crammed with guest rooms, a small number of cabanas rim the beach, so guests are treated to waterfront tranquility and a maximum amount of privacy, where you can use the Harvard study as your guide and decrease your device time daily. Celebrate each decrease. Coco Plum’s onsite diversions will keep you happily distracted, and the resort’s tour menu will, too.
What’s the secret to making your stay so effortless, you’ll be more focused on fun than scrolling? Coco Plum’s Belize All Inclusive Snorkel Package makes sure you don’t have to worry about details of your getaway because this package is filled with all the perks you need to enjoy a carefree stay, including your ultra-private accommodation, meals, and more.
Your benefits just keep adding up!
Don’t discount the huge amount of privacy you two will enjoy during your stay, so socialize if you wish at Coco Plum’s newly remodeled restaurant or minimize contact with other guests in favor of relationship building that only extreme privacy allows. Take note of other details of the resort’s fabulous makeover, and you can do everything without emptying your bank account, thanks to the resort’s 2026 vacation deals that reduce the cost of your detox.
Save money. Reconnect with each other. Disconnect from your device and decrease your dependence. “A digital detox is a very blunt instrument,” say Harvard researchers, but there’s “no need to completely cut yourself off.” Instead, focus on quality, not quantity, in terms of using your digital aids, and your escape to Coco Plum Island Resort will accomplish more than just weaning yourself from perpetual availability: You’ll save time and increase your mental health during what is bound to be the most valuable holiday you’ve taken in years!
