The ocean may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of a winter getaway, but in the treasured Rhode Island hideaway of Watch Hill (also frequented by the likes of Taylor Swift, who owns a home here), something just makes it feel right. Plus, what’s more eerily romantic than seeing the ocean waves crash against the sand during chilly temps from the safety of your warm cocoon? Book a stay at one of the 22 cottage-style guest room suites or four super spacious seascape suites, and you will be treated to panoramic ocean views and luxury amenities, the likes of which inspire glowing reviews like this one:
“Hotel Maria completely blew us away—truly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, from the fresh fruit cups and yogurt to the cappuccino and latte station, beach snacks, water bottles, and even spin dresses! It was above and beyond anything we expected.”
