There are numerous benefits associated with taking a break from technology, including decreased stress, improved self-esteem, better relationships, and more. Recognizing the importance of this, Riverhouse on the Deschutes—a modern hotel surrounded by natural beauty in Bend, Oregon—has launched a Digital Detox Package to coincide with the grand opening of their new, luxurious spa, Drift Spa.

The Digital Detox Program allows guests to hand over their phones upon check-in for the duration of their stay, and instead of television they are able to enjoy books, games, and a variety of other activities around Bend. The package encourages visitors to spend more time exploring, hiking, meditating, and relaxing—without the distraction of technology.

Guests at Riverhouse on the Deschutes can also enjoy relaxing and rejuvenating treatments at Drift Spa, which offers a variety of herbal and organic massages, body treatments, natural facial treatments, and other beauty services. The spa has nine treatment rooms, including a room for fireside meditation and a couple’s room. It also uses environmentally-friendly, cruelty-free products, and hand selects each product and treatment to ensure that guests find a perfect match.

“We are thrilled to be able to partner with Riverhouse on the Deschutes and make our guests’ experience in the community that much more enjoyable,” says Spa Director Stacy Knotts. “The upbeat, modern atmosphere will be like nothing Bend has seen before.”
