Hotel information
Occupying a unique location on the North East coast of Nantucket, the small luxury seaside retreat The Wauwinet sits between two beaches, one facing the Atlantic Ocean and the other, Nantucket Bay. This quintessentially New England property is the only Relais & Chateaux Hotel on the island and offers impeccable service, exquisite accommodation and award-winning dining. The property is tucked away from the centre of Nantucket and lies beside the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge.
The 32 rooms and four charming cottages are decorated in a classic yet sophisticated New England style. Furnished with fresh wildflowers, aromatherapy bath products, custom furnishings and luxury bedding. Guests in the Coatue Suite can enjoy complimentary use of a BMW X5 sports car.
A stay at the Wauwinet is made even more special with complimentary inclusions such as; lobstering excursions, scenic off-road drives, kayaks and apple cider in the library in the fall. Other services include an early riser's breakfast, continental breakfast, afternoon port and cheese, use of bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards and tennis. Travel into town on the hourly van shuttle service or aboard the hotel's Wauwinet Lady boat shuttle with Captain Rob. Topper’s Restaurant at The Wauwinet is arguably one of the best on the island serving a la carte and prix fixe menus of delicious seasonal cuisine.
