If getting “off the grid” and taking time away from a busy, noisy world sounds like a dream vacation, you’re not alone. “Silent Travel” or sometimes called “Quiet Travel” is on the rise.
The desire to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life is nothing new. But rather than planning a trip to a tourist hotspot, the Silent Travel trend emphasizes the pursuit of peace and quiet in secluded, nature-rich destinations. In fact, according to The Pinterest 2024 Travel Report, searches for the term “quiet life” have increased 530% while searches for “quiet places” saw a 50% increase over the past year.
While there can be some overlap with “Slow Travel,” which prioritizes longer trips to fewer destinations, Silent Travel is characterized by a sense of tranquility. Whether you travel alone or with a loved one, you may choose to embrace the solitude of a quiet forest or reflect on the power of waves crashing upon a secluded beach.
Silent Travel also emphasizes wellness. Some studies have shown that spending time in nature is good for our mental health, and in some cases, it can help lower blood pressure and help improve sleep.
The travel industry has been quick to respond with many options, such as silent walking tours and “digital detox cabins.” For those who cherish the chance to customize a private journey with plush comfort, consider renting a luxury motorcoach through LiTRV, complete with a private driver. Our concierge specialist will work closely with you to plan a restful vacation to a serene environment, with minimal digital distractions, and plenty of opportunities for you to deepen your connection with nature.
Why Rent a Luxury Motorcoach?
Unlike standard RVs, a luxury motorcoach is the most extravagant RV on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Much like a luxury hotel suite, a Class A motorcoach features all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher. Some motorcoaches have electric fireplaces, heated floors, and state-of-the-art entertainment centers. There’s also plenty of room for your pets to stretch out comfortably.
When you rent a luxury motorcoach from LiTRV, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re working with a full-service firm. Our professional drivers have decades of experience driving RVs and other large vehicles throughout the country. They are used to driving long hours, navigating twists and turns on mountain roads, and adjusting to diverse weather conditions. When there’s an overnight stop, we arrange for our driver to stay nearby so you can enjoy your privacy.
There’s also plenty of opportunities to relax in solitude. You can opt for using noise cancelling headphones to block out 100% of all noise while on the road or traveling through a busy, loud city. When you let LiTRV do the driving, you can delve into a good book or simply take in the sights with quiet reflection as you glide down the road.
Reset and Recharge Off the Beaten Path
Consider our LiTRV team as your personal concierge. We’ll work closely with you to customize your itinerary for a smooth, comfortable, luxury travel experience. We can reserve a private, premier site with breathtaking views at a luxury RV resort or we can arrange for you to stay at a world-renowned resort and spa. And because we provide bespoke services throughout your trip, you have the flexibility to modify your travel plans, even after your journey has begun.
Here are three remote destinations that provide a chance to reset, recharge and escape the busyness of life:
Enderts Beach, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, California
Just three miles south of Crescent City in northern California, Enderts Beach is a peaceful hideaway tucked away in Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs, a beautiful forest border, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Enderts Beach is a secluded spot that is only accessible through a moderately-difficult, short hike along the “Last Chance Section” of the California Coastal Trail.
There are no facilities at this beach – only at the parking lot. Bears, seals and other wildlife live in the area, so use caution on your hike. Pets are not permitted on the trail, which can be rugged, eroded or overgrown in some places. The beach is known for its tide pools, and caution is advised since the sea’s currents can change rapidly. Cell phone reception is also limited.
Our LiTRV team can check availability at nearby, quiet luxury RV resorts, such as the Redwood Meadows RV Resort in Hiouchi, California. This serene property offers a unique blend of natural beauty and modern conveniences, nestled in the heart of Northern California’s majestic redwoods. Each spacious RV site includes crushed-rock pads and full hookups, as well as fire rings and picnic tables. While in the area, you might decide to take a quiet hike along a wooded trail, go fishing or kayaking at Smith River National Recreation Area, or visit the historic Battery Point Lighthouse.
Monument Valley, Arizona and Utah
It’s one of the most majestic – and most photographed – points on earth. Monument Valley boasts sandstone masterpieces that tower at heights of 400 to 1,000 feet, framed by scenic clouds casting shadows that graciously roam the desert floor. The 30,000-acre Navajo Tribal Park was established in 1958 and is located on the border of Arizona and Utah within the 16-million-acre Navajo Reservation.
While people flock to his wondrous area from all over the world, it is possible to make a profound connection with nature in this serene environment away from the crowds. First, consider planning a trip off-season, either in the spring or the fall. Our LiTRV concierge specialist can reserve a private jeep tour with a Navajo guide who can take you on a 17-mile loop drive and beyond where you can get up close to the breathtaking mythical formations. Immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings as you learn the history of Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, the Navajo name for Monument Valley. Take time to marvel at the craftsmanship of talented artists who display their jewelry and other art on the road. Reflect in silence as you ground yourself in the moment and appreciate what some consider to be a spiritual space and sacred ground.
Our LiTRV concierge specialist can check availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as Goulding’s RV Park and Campground located in Oljato-Monument Valley, Utah. Nestled near the lodge in the tranquil Rock Door Canyon, Goulding’s offers each guest a panoramic view through the canyon door, out to surrounding Monument Valley. No matter where your motorcoach is parked, you’ll wake to spectacular sunrise Valley views and fall asleep under a starry night sky.
Congaree National Park, South Carolina
Unlike the Smoky Mountains or the Blue Ridge Parkway, Congaree National Park remains relatively undiscovered. Located 25 minutes southeast of Columbia, South Carolina, this hidden gem is home to one of the tallest deciduous forests in North America, offering total solitude and natural beauty. The towering trees and floodplain forest create a natural sound barrier, making it one of the quietest national parks. With no major roads or loud tourist attractions, it’s ideal for deep relaxation and mindfulness. This expansive sanctuary for plants and animals is also a research site for scientists. Whether you paddle or canoe the Congaree River, take a quiet boardwalk hike, or meditate among the giant trees, the park provides the perfect tranquil wilderness setting for you to connect with nature. There’s also plenty of opportunities for bird watching and stargazing. Rangers sometimes offer owl prowls and moonlight walks, enhancing the Silent Travel experience.
Continue your quest for peace by staying at a nearby RV resort, such as Magnolia Campground in West Columbia. This small, family-owned property is secluded and quiet and provides a convenient location near the park for some much-needed solace. Our LiTRV team can explore availability here and provide options for other destinations throughout the state, including luxury resorts and spas closer to the serene beaches of South Carolina, about a two-hour drive from the park.
