About

What distinguishes the Winnetu from other resorts is the whimsical amenities and hotel design that is outside the typical luxury hotel formula. We had lots of fun enhancing your vacation. We are passionate as buyers of art and collectors of vintage transportation. Many pieces of art are commissioned for the property: faux vintage posters, scale models of past island ferries, lawn sculptures, and the most beautiful wooden chess set. Though chess sets are ubiquitous at resorts now, they don’t look like this. 

The activity center is a short walk or shuttle ride from the main building and houses a gym, a second swimming pool, massage appointments, and the kids’ club. The kids’ club has both large indoor and exterior spaces filled with playground equipment, a large pirate ship, and basketball court.

The resort offers regular shuttles into Edgartown and stops next to an ice cream shop. Head to the Ice Cream and Candy Bazar or the Scoop Shack near the docks, also near great shopping: North River Outfitter Kids has an excellent selection of clothes and toys adjacent to both ice cream stores.
