Quick romantic getaways from nyc

Sometimes we thrive off the hustle and bustle of the city. Other times...not so much. For those stretches when you and your partner could use some peace and quiet to reconnect, I found 19 couples retreats near NYC that make for an ideal weekend getaway. They include a mix of luxe accommodations and more minimalist stays, places where you can pack your schedule full of restorative spa treatments or antique shop explorations as well as those where sitting back and relaxing is the order of the day. If youre feeling ambitious, head up to White Barn Inn in Kennebunk, Maine. Outdoorsy? Whiteface Lodge in Lake Placid is packed with Olympic History. Need a quick getaway? The Rockaway Hotel is 90 minutes from Times Square via Subway. So, whether you want to prioritize good food, good sights or good naps, Ive got a recommendation for you.

This intimate inn features three guest rooms, The Ho-Hum Suite, The Old Inlet Suite and The Bellport Loft. The suites have private garden entrances and sitting rooms, while the loft offers a private outdoor lounge, full kitchen and grill, vaulted ceilings and a second floor with lovely views. Exploring Bellport Village is easy, as Temperance Hall is tucked on the main street with plenty of galleries, cafs and restaurants. The cant-miss attraction? The Gateway Playhouse, one of the regions most well-known theaters.

A total fantasy from start to finish, any couple staying at the Inns of Aurora is likely to book their return visit before checking out. The luxe, boutique compound of inns is spread across the town of Aurora, a tiny enclave on Lake Cayuga in the Finger Lakes region thatcoupled with its peaceful, natural setting and spaces to cozy up and unwind infinds itself at the center of many couples wellness-centric getaways. Itineraries of said trips may include mindfulness hikes led by a resident Outdoorsman, taking in a candlelight yoga session or partaking in a tea blending class.

Complimentary amenities available when you check in include a telescope for nighttime stargazing, a picnic cooler and blanket for a snack time or meal in nature, bikes and helmets for use, plus access to games and puzzles, easels and watercolor paints for outside painting adventures. Not free, but also great, are the nearby wine tastings at Treleaven Wines, Bright Leaf Vineyard and Long Point Winery, an obvious choice for couples looking to explore more, though your innkeeper can also offer up a tasting if you feel like staying closer to your room (which you likely will). Each guest accommodation is handsomely appointed in unique, historical furnishings with a private fireplace and private balcony.
