USA: The White Elephant, Nantucket

A true landmark, this iconic, historic hotel is one of the first high-end properties on the island.

The exclusive isle of Nantucket, located off the East Coast of the US and just a short hop from New York and Boston, is known as a discreet high-end hideaway. With white picket fences, quaint, boutique-lined highstreets and 18th century buildings clad in climbing pink roses, Nantucket Island presents understated, all-American chic at its finest.

On the edge of Nantucket Harbour, the White Elephant waterfront resort features stylish, light-filled rooms, suites, garden cottages, and in-town lofts with balconies and magnificent harbour views. One of the island’s most acclaimed restaurants is the White Elephant’s Brant Point Grill, located directly on the picturesque harbour offering fresh, local cuisine framed by breath-taking water views. Guests can explore 80 miles of beach (you could visit a different beach every day for two weeks in Nantucket), moors, salt marshes and white sand dunes. A large part of the island is protected by conservationists and a permit allows you to drive on certain sections of beach for picnics, fishing trips or surfing.

The resort partners with a members-only yacht service to offer the White Elephant Hinckley/Barton & Gray Hinckley Yacht. The 36-foot classic yacht takes interior design lead from the White Elephant hotel’s iconic navy blue, white and elephant printed fabrics. Guests can book the yacht for half or full-day private charters to explore areas such as the beautiful Nantucket Harbor, the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge and Tuckernuck Island.
