Best New England Resorts
This first part of the list will include the best resorts in New England with seasonal suggestions. While many of them will have a spa on-site, the focus is really the resort amenities, dining options and the location. If you’re looking for a true spa getaway, keep scroll down to the next section below. But for now, let’s talk about all the amazing New England resorts that make for the perfect getaway.
Best Coastal New England Resorts For Summer
In no particular order, these are what I think are the best New England Resorts along the coast for the ultimate summer vacation. Keep in mind that while I have a separate section for spa getaways at the end, many of these resorts also have spas, but I felt like the focus on was on the resort overall.
1. Chatham Bars Inn – Cape Cod, MA
Chatham Bars Inn Highlights:
- 9.2/10 ⭐️ Rating
- 5-Star luxury resort

“One of our best travel experience ever. The view, the restaurants, the friendliness of the staff, the rooms, all first class!”
– Juan (more reviews here)
The Chatham Bars Inn on Cape Cod is the only luxury beachfront resort on Cape Cod, and they do an incredible job with the amenities they offer. If you’re looking for the ultimate upscale experience in this region, you don’t have to look any further.
With 5 restaurants to choose from, the spa, luxury furnishings in your room, private beach access with cabanas, a pool, as well as options to book spa suites and private cottages, there’s not much else you’ll need.
The Chatham Bars Inn is also in the perfect location in Cape Cod’s cutest town. It’s walkable to Main Street’s shopping and dining, and for days you want to explore the peninsula, it’s only about 30 minutes to the beaches along the Cape Cod National Seashore, and it’s less than an hour to Provincetown. It’s also a very short walk down the street from the Chatham Fish Pier Market, where you can grab super fresh seafood, and see the seals floating around the pier.

– Michael (more reviews here)
Nantucket Island is known as one of the most picturesque and charming destinations in the U.S., and makes for a spectacular beach vacation in the summer.The Wauwinet is the best oceanfront luxury resort on the island, and while Nantucket is known for luxury accommodations and vacation rentals, The Wauwinet is the best place to stay if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing beachfront getaway at the ocean.
Located a bit further from downtown on the island, The Wauwinet feels like a true escape, but is still easily accessible to all the best things to do on Nantucket. Between private beach access right at the resort, a gorgeous lawn with lounge chairs for afternoon and pre-dinner cocktails, stunning rooms, and free transportation to and from town, they’ve really thought of everything to provide you with a luxurious escape from reality.
In addition to the amenities listed above, they also provide pre-arrival concierge, and will plan your dream Nantucket vacation for you, so all you need to do is get there and enjoy it.

3. The Winnetu Resort – Martha’s Vineyard, MA
The Winnetu Highlights:

The friendliness of all the staff made me feel welcomed and at home the moment I checked-in. The rooms are stunning. The grounds are beautiful, with plenty of activities … We ate at the Dunes Restaurant which is at the resort and the food was delicious and the waitstaff and host very friendly. I will definitely go back!”
– TripAdvisor Review (read more here)
One of the best summer resorts on Martha’s Vineyard that’s absolutely perfect for both adults and families is The Winnetu Oceanside Resort in Edgartown. Every time I stay here, I always leave relaxed, and completely impressed with how great this resort is. But the best part is that the resort is just a short, 5-minute walk to the most beautiful beach on the island.
Parents will love the complimentary Children’s Club daytime program, that will allow you a few hours each afternoon without the kiddos while they go off to a fun summer camp at the resort.
While The Winnetu is outside of Edgartown’s downtown, they offer free shuttle service, which allows you to not have a car, and also not worry about parking in this popular area. The ride into town is only about 5 minutes, too! Edgartown is one of the island’s most charming towns with lots to do, great shopping and dining, and accessible to Chappaquiddick Island.
If you do want the freedom of having a car for a day or two to explore the island, however, The Winnetu has a partnership with a local car rental service and they will drop-off/pick-up your rental right at the resort. They also offer Mini Cooper Convertibles, which is what my husband and I chose when we last stayed here.
Pro Tip: If you want to plan the ultimate coastal New England island vacation, you can arrange to visit both Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard in the same trip, and take the Hyline Cruises inter-island ferry between the two islands.

We loved the proximity to the Nubble Light House, Ogunquit & Kennebunkport. Lots to do and see in the area. Loved the hotel and staff!!”
– Waylon (more reviews here)
The Cliff House is one of the best New England resorts and spas for a coastal getaway in Maine in the summer. The grounds are landscaped beautifully, and at every turn, you’re greeted with stunning coastline views. In fact, the entire resort is designed so well that all the restaurants, lawns and pools offer these same incredible ocean views.
With a spa on-site, gorgeous pool areas, and awesome dining options (including the cute coffee shop!), you may not want to leave the resort. But if you do, Cliff House is in a wonderful southern Maine location that’s just 10 minutes to Ogunquit (an adorable beach town), 30 minutes to the equally as fun Kennebunkport, and is also close to Wells for antiquing, and York for shopping and dining.
If you’re looking for an awesome New England resort getaway that forces you to slow down, this is a great option!

First of all, the whole town of Watch Hill/Westerly is gorgeous. Customer service is top notch at the hotel … The food at Bistro is amazing. We ate almost every meal there and every dish was perfection. Can’t wait to go back. All the positives listed above allows us to JUST relax in gorgeous, clean, and elegantly designed accommodations.”
– Scott H. (more reviews here)
The Ocean House might be the most iconic New England resort & spa along the coast! Located in the cute little village of Watch Hill in the towns of Westerly, Rhode Island, this incredible resort is not only insanely picturesque and luxurious, it also has private beach access with the best beach cabanas, and is home to one of the highest-rated waterfront restaurants in New England.
During your visit, you’ll most definitely want to make sure you get a reservation to COAST, the restaurant mentioned above. But there are also a few other restaurants to choose from while staying at the Ocean House, including a seasonal cocktail terrace that changes each year.
Since Watch Hill is a more exclusive town in Rhode Island, staying at the Ocean House means you won’t have to hunt down parking and worry about hourly limits to visit the beach. The private beach is the most picturesque in the state, and is just steps from your room. In the summer, that alone is worth booking a room here.
And when you want to explore some more of the gorgeous Rhode Island coast, you can rent out one of the hotel’s Mercedes-Benz convertibles at absolutely no charge. This is definitely one of the best things to do in Westerly, RI!

Located in Southwest Harbor near Acadia National Park, this is the best resort to stay near the park with awesome amenities, that also allows you to feel miles away from the real world.
From the resort, you’ll enjoy amazing views of the water, and even Cadillac Mountain, the highest peak in Acadia. The resort does a great job arranging boat tours to help you plan the perfect coastal getaway, and with all the amazing dining options, you may never want to leave!

7. Hidden Pond – Kennebunkport, ME

“Hidden Pond, what a magical place, splendidly integrated into the surrounding forest, away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. The perfect place to relax, chat, read or sip your favorite martini in the warmth of the fire … Dinner at the Earth restaurant is another culinary delight that will remain in our memory for a long time. Excellent and friendly service ensures a great atmosphere and makes it a unique place that we will be happy to come back to.”
– TripAdvisor Review
Hidden Pond is such a unique and fun destination in Kennebunkport that offer guests a quiet and tranquil getaway in the woods, but is also close to beautiful New England beaches. When you book a stay at Hidden Pond, you have your choice of the cutest little Maine-inspired cottages, many of which have front porches perfect for your morning cup of coffee, or an afternoon of curling up with a good book.
Hidden Pond is also home to Earth, which is one of the best restaurants in New England I’ve personally ever been to. They call it a Farm-to-Fork dining experience, as many of the ingredients come from their own organic gardens, and it’s truly a place you don’t want to miss. The decor inside is also amazing.
And while Hidden Pond is nestled in a quiet wooded area in Kennebunkport, it’s just 10-minutes away from Dock Square, and 15 minutes or so from the beaches.

There is pickle ball, fishing, swimming, horseshoes, and many other options like hiking or just relaxing on your own porch. Each room is a suite that is done perfectly with knotty pine. The facility is first class. The staff is wonderful, accommodating and helpful in every way. Kudos to the management for creating this fabulous rustic and elegant resort. There is wonderful food in the dining room as well. This is a special spot. Worth going out of your way to visit.”
– TripAdvisor Review (read more here)
Many liken Migis Lodge to a true American vacation resort like the one we’ve all come to know and love in the movie Dirty Dancing. Migis includes all your meals and pretty much all activities in your room rate (motor sports and massages are extra), and you’re in an idyllic lakefront wooded area that feels a million miles away from the rest of the world.
Dining at Migis is a truly fun experience with summer cookouts and lobster bakes. And what I love about dining experiences in their lodge and terrace is that they require men to wear jackets, which is such a great way to really make eating out a true experience that should be savored and enjoyed.

With everything from several dining options to choose from, as well as a spa, pool and its own performing arts center, the scenery here is really makes makes The Lodge At Spruce Peak special.

Every single member of the staff was so friendly and went out of their way to make you comfortable. I cannot say enough about the high caliber of professionalism from these individuals. The rooms were very nice and the building and amenities were beautiful. The pool area is very relaxing and serene. The complimentary continental breakfast was a perfect start to each morning and the restaurant was outstanding. There’s nothing I would change about my stay! I highly recommend the White Barn Inn for a getaway in Kennebunkport!”

The White Barn Inn is another beautiful New England resort and spa in Kennebunk, Maine, and is also perfect year-round. But since they have wonderful services in the fall and winter season, this a great resort to consider with a focus on wellness, rest, seasonal dining and slowing down.
In the winter, it’ll be hard to find a better atmosphere for dinner than the White Barn Inn restaurant. Changing out their decor seasonal, a spotlight will be on a beautiful pumpkin display, or a whimsical snow-fallen pine tree setting, while you have incredible farm-to-table meals in a stunning renovated barn.
You’ll also enjoy seasonal cocktails by a fireplace and get your chance at attending winter events in Kennebunkport like Christmas Prelude and Paint The Town Red.

– Mary (more reviews here)
Mirbeau Inn & Spa is one of my favorite New England resorts and spas. They have a few locations around New York and New England, and this location in Plymouth, Massachusetts is nothing short of wonderful. Since it’s so close to the city, it makes for a wonderfully romantic getaway from Boston if you’re celebrating a special occasion, or a relaxing escape from anywhere, even as a solo getaway!
The main focus at Mirbeau is wellness and restoration, which is why I’ve listed it in the spa category. Much like their original location in Skaneateles, New York, Plymouth has designed the entire property to feel like you’ve stepped into the French countryside. You’ll find beautifully manicured gardens, a replica of the Monet lily pond and bridge and a tranquil atmosphere that will render you completely relaxed as soon as you arrive.
Perfect for a weekend getaway, all rooms at Mirbeau also come with fireplaces and soaking tubs to continue your relaxation until you check out. And with a restaurant on-site that offers breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, you truly never have to leave!
The spa at Mirbeau is impressive, too. You’ll find a quiet relaxation room for an afternoon nap between services, an aqua terrace, treatment rooms with fireplaces, and steam rooms. Included in your room rate are also instructor-led wellness and fitness classes.
Private yoga and wellness experiences can also be arranged during your stay for the ultimate spa getaway.

Does New England Have All-Inclusive Resorts?
Yes, but they’re not as common as a la carte accommodations. From this list, Twin Farms, Migis Lodge and Canyon Ranch are all-inclusive (some activities may cost extra, but food, drinks and many activities are included).
Best Time Of Year For A New England Resort & Spa Getaway
This depends entirely on what you’re looking for! The great thing about New England being a four-season climate is that you can plan a vacation any time of the year.
Summer is really an amazing time in New England, especially along the coast, and this is my recommended time to visit coastal destinations. In the summer, everything comes to life, and all businesses and shops will be open, and the ocean water will be at its warmest.
The winter is a truly magical season to visit New England, and all the winter resorts do an amazing job celebrating what this time of the year is all about. You’ll find ice sculptures, ice skating, special winter menus and cocktails, igloo dining and more all over. This is such a wonderful region for a winter vacation, even if you’re not a skiier!
And, of course, fall is iconic in New England. We probably do fall the best here than any other area of the country. Vermont and New Hampshire are the best states to visit for fall foliage, and this is the perfect time to book a resort getaway if you’re hoping to see it.
Spring is all about coming back to life, and while weather in New England in the spring can be a bit unpredictable, this is a great time of year to take advantage of off-season rates pretty much all over the region. Spring is also a great time to book a spa and wellness getaway so that you can reset before a bustling summer season ahead.
