Vanity Fair has gone looking for the rarest luxury left: a spot the signal simply cannot reach, with no network, no connection, and no chance of a notification. The idea is that a stretch of true silence from the phone might leave a person steadier than any spa on South County Road.

With reporting from Vanity Fair.
