The interest in travel with fewer distractions
Hilton’s 2026 travel trends report identifies a desire for calm and moments with fewer distractions among travel motivations. It draws on international research, not data from the Portal. Our suggestion is simple: decide ahead of time how you would like to use your phone during the time you have set aside for yourself.
Take care of practical details before arriving
Save the address, confirm your arrival time and keep the spa’s contact details handy. If you need to remain reachable, let the relevant person know and decide which notifications to keep active. You do not have to switch everything off. Arranging travel and booking details lets you choose when to look at the screen instead of checking messages to resolve each part of the visit.
Choose an experience you look forward to
At the Portal you can enquire about the jacuzzi, steam box baths or massages. Start with what you would enjoy that day, without having to try everything. If you prefer a combination, ask about timing before confirming. During your visit, ask the team where to keep your belongings and respect other people’s privacy when taking photographs. Choose a moment for a keepsake photo and give the rest of the time to your experience.
Leave room afterwards too
Afterwards, return to your plans with the time you have chosen to leave. You might check your messages before heading back and confirm your next journey. The value of this suggestion lies in arranging your time in a way that feels comfortable. A digital pause does not have to be a challenge: simply decide what needs your attention now and what can wait until after your visit.
Questions for your visit
