Secreted in the heart of the hotel, The Retreat at Castle Hill by Farmaesthetics is a peaceful 1,500-square-foot/140-square-meter refuge where treatments and massages use the eponymous brand's own products. All are made from herbs and flowers organically grown on local farms.

Spa The Retreat at Castle Hill by Farmaesthetics

First built in 1875 as a summer residence for a noted Harvard University marine biologist, this magnificent inn on an exclusive sixteen hectare peninsula bordering the ocean is a romantic haven. Whether you are in a cottage on Castle Hill’s private beach, relaxing on the terrace or sitting at a table in the restaurant, you will be guaranteed panoramic views of the Atlantic and its many maritime activities including sailing, fishing and regattas. The menu features local and regional dishes, with a focus on organic ingredients paired with exceptional wines. Castle Hill is the perfect base from which to explore the beauty of Newport with its Gilded Age mansions, sandy beaches and rich history.

Plan your stay at the Castle Hill Inn

Visit the Newport Mansions – veritable 19th and 20th century architectural jewels, vacation homes of wealthy financiers and industrialists, with some who made their fortune in the railway industry. Among these magnificent homes is The Breakers, an absolutely remarkable manor house. 

Newport Mansions: exceptional manor houses

Once you turn onto Castle Hill’s tree-lined driveway from famed Ocean Drive and pass our private marina, you enter another world. Yet our secluded property is just minutes from the action of downtown Newport. Few coastal towns offer as much to do as our city: guests can tour historic mansions, shop on Thames Street, visit the International Tennis Hall of Fame, ferry out to the Rose Island Lighthouse, or spend a day at one of the area’s gorgeous beaches.

“Castle Hill Inn and Farmaesthetics tested the waters with a ‘pop-up spa’ during the spring of 2014. It was a smashing success; guests and visitors enjoyed the spa immensely. The partnership worked on so many levels that we decided to make this a permanent relationship. The treatments include facials, therapeutic massages, acupressure massages and pre or post treatment saltwater soaks.
