Unplug to Recharge: Introducing Our Digital Detox Retreat at STOEP in Kalk Bay
In a world where we are constantly connected, the greatest luxury may be the opportunity to disconnect. At Ideas Cartel, we believe peak performance begins with presence — and sometimes, that means stepping away from your screen.
This winter, we’re inviting you to slow down, switch off, and restore your inner rhythm with our curated Digital Detox Retreat at STOEP — a 2-day guided experience set in the heart of Kalk Bay.
And for a limited time, we’re offering a complimentary fireside upgrade or massage experience for the first 10 bookings.
Why a Digital Detox?
The average person spends over 6 hours a day on screens. That time adds up — costing us clarity, focus, and the ability to be fully present. At Ideas Cartel, we understand that stepping away from tech isn’t about abandoning productivity. It’s about making space for the kind of stillness that leads to sharper thinking and creative breakthroughs.
This retreat is your opportunity to do just that — away from the noise, and immersed in intentional, unplugged living.
What to Expect at STOEP
Nestled between mountain and sea, STOEP in Kalk Bay offers the perfect setting for quiet reflection and deep rest. The experience has been curated with both wellness and winter comfort in mind:
- 2-night boutique stay in a character-filled heritage property
- Digital drop-off on arrival — we store your phone so you can be fully present
- Daily rituals: breathwork, journaling, forest bathing, cold water plunges
- Optional extras: fireside chats, sea dips, creative prompts, slow mornings
- Wood-fired hot tub access for deep restoration
- Seasonal, nourishing meals and grounding winter treats
- Fireplaces, cozy corners, and quiet comfort throughout the property
Limited-Time Bonus: Book & Receive a Winter Upgrade
To mark the launch, we’re offering a complimentary retreat enhancement to the first 10 guests who book before 15 June 2025.
Choose between:
- A 30-minute in-room massage
- Or a fireside dinner upgrade with a curated local wine pairing
This small detail is designed to deepen your experience — because we believe luxury is in the intention.
