The Wauwinet is a quaint, elegant retreat built in 1875 on the northeastern shore of Nantucket, at the edge of the Great Point Wildlife Sanctuary. It boasts a beautiful private bay and ocean beaches, so guests can choose between the lively Atlantic surf or the calm warmer waters bayside. Spend time just relaxing, whale spotting, going on a picnic or taking surfcasting or cooking lessons. Drive the scenic back roads to Great Point, and visit Siasconset in a Chevrolet Woody 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe. The Wauwinet’s restaurant, Topper’s, with its expansive bay views, is accessible by land or by sea aboard the Wauwinet Lady.

Wauwinet Bay Cruise

The Wauwinet is in such a dramatic setting and the lawn has such a beautiful view over the harbor that many guests never leave the property. I cannot say that I blame them. However, for those guests who want a little more adventure I would recommend a bay cruise aboard the Wauwinet Lady. Observing the pristine beaches of Coatue and the spectacular waterfront houses along the south shore of the harbor is a unique experience, particularly while sipping a glass of champagne. In addition, the 2,000-acre nature preserve to the north of The Wauwinet is an incredible treasure.

Itinerary - Massachusetts, two treasure islands

Five days visiting the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket could very well be the definition of a "getaway". Escape into the heart of small chic and timeless villages, walk along unspoiled beaches and cliffs, all far from the mainland... <a href="https://www.relaischateaux.com/us/destinations/routes-du-bonheur/massachusetts-two-treasure-islands" target="_new"><b>See the itinerary</b></a>
