Dolce Tempo Journey amid Historic Harbors, Bike Paths & New England Charm
Marvel at the deep-blue vastness of the open Atlantic. Dine in the Bay State’s classic island taverns. Maritime history comes to life as you stroll in Siasconset and e-bike to the cliffs of Aquinnah. In the world-famous summer resort of Martha's Vineyard, discover its colonial past.
Highlights
- There’s no better way to experience the islands of Massachusetts than by bike, lingering at tucked-away beaches, breathing in fresh sea air and hopping off the saddle to admire towering 200-year-old lighthouses
- Discover colorful gingerbread cottages, charming port towns and stately homes, and visit the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum to learn about the region's maritime history
- Tour historic Nantucket, then sail across the bay to meet local artists in colonial Edgartown, the earliest European settlement on Martha’s Vineyard and home to incredible architecture
- It’s easy living at our luxury retreats in these bucket-list vacation spots—start the day early with sunrise views over Nantucket Harbor or idle over morning coffee in a 19th-century Gothic Revival inn
