A Martha’s Vineyard summer is an unforgettable experience- here are some of our favorite ways to enjoy it.
Only at the Winnetu
Summer at the Winnetu is iconic. Situated in Katama along miles of beaches at the island’s southern coast, scroll down to see what’s waiting to bring summer to life outside our front door.
Summer Longer, In September
Insiders know that September is the best month to be on the island. Enjoy spectacular summer weather, fewer crowds, and wonderful sense of quiet relaxation throughout the island. Many of Winnetu’s experiences and amenities are available throughout September.
Classic New England Clambakes
Every Wednesday night, follow the sound of music down to the front lawn at the Winnetu and enjoy a one-of-a-kind Vineyard tradition that you and your family won’t soon forget.
When you’re with us, you’re on the beach. Follow our private path from the front lawn down to one of Martha’s Vineyard’s most spectacular beaches. Grab a Winnetu picnic basket, a complimentary beach chair, and spend a day by the ocean
Water Taxi Cruise
Ride to Edgartown through beautiful Katama Bay. Arrive in style at downtown Edgartown for an evening of shopping, dinner, and ice cream on the town.
We’ve made it just as easy to enjoy Nantucket while you’re with us at the Winnetu. Whether it’s a day trip to this neighboring island or an overnight stay at our award winning sister resort, The Nantucket Hotel, we’ve got you covered!
Our complimentary Children’s Day program is a fun way for the kids to start the day. From beach adventures and field-trips, to activities and games with Counselors, our Children’s program is a great way for them to make friends and memories!
Hop a ride in one of the fully restored antique vehicles we keep on-hand at the Winnetu. Whether it’s a ride around Katama in our antique firetruck, or a breeze around town in the wood paneled Winnetu Jitney.
Arrive & Drive
Arrive and drive with our on-site car rentals! Arrange to have a car waiting for you at the ferry dock, or rent a car for the day with an on-site rental agent!
Leave the car on the mainland and arrive in-style with our VIP Island Queen package. We’ll take care of pick-up and drop-off while you enjoy the journey!
With plenty of activities and amenities at the resort, there’s no shortage of things to keep you busy, relaxed, engaged, and having fun while you’re with us.
Spend an evening at The Dunes, our in-house restaurant featuring a contemporary take on New England Coastal Cuisine. Share a drink or a meal on our deck with views over South Beach and firepits to gather around.
Enjoy an afternoon on Katama Bay with Ryan and Julia Smith of Signature Oysters, a local oyster farming operation right in our backyard. Tour their farm, shuck oysters picked right from the water, and enjoy a memorable BYOB experience out on the sparkling waters of Katama Bay.
Our steadfast Director of Rooms, Lizzie keeps the hotel running in more ways than one. Managing our front desk team, dispatching housekeeping, keeping our shuttles running on time, and much much (much!) more....
Before Winnetu (approx. 150 years ago), the Mattakeset Lodge was the place to spend the summer months in Katama. The hotel was famous for its clambakes, dances, and ocean breezes.
They met at Winnetu, and now they’re married! You might have met Chip in the lobby, or driving a Winnetu shuttle last season while Andra is holding down the fort at the General Store.
Wishing you a volley jolly holiday season. While you’re planning next year’s adventures with your family and friends this winter, we hope you keep Little Gem Resorts in your plans!
