Experience the Historic New England Coast in Newport, Rhode Island
EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW

Located in the heart of Rhode Island’s Classic Coast, Newport is a town of beautiful contradictions. Both historic and modern, it’s home to incredible Colonial and Gilded Age architecture and historical landmarks, as well as miles of stunning New England coastline, family-friendly beaches, world-class resorts, and so much more.
Considered a shining gem of the New England coastal region, visitors come year-round to explore all that this City by the Sea has to offer. Sailing is huge here, and rightly so. The town’s ties to the Americas Cup, as well as its location on the spectacular Narragansett Bay, make it a popular vacation spot for anyone who loves to sail, wants to learn to sail, or just wants to enjoy the views of Newport’s famous coastline on one of the dozens of boat tours offered here daily.
Another draw is tennis. The first U.S. National Lawn Tennis Championship—a tournament that later evolved into the U.S. Open—was played in Newport in 1881. Today tennis fans from around the world come to tour the International Tennis Hall of Fame, watch the annual Hall of Fame Open, or play on the Tennis Club’s famous courts.
For this Newport getaway, we’ve arranged deluxe accommodations at The Cliffside Inn, a luxury boutique hotel housed in a charming, updated Victorian mansion in the heart of the Historic District. From here, it’s just a short walk to the beach, shopping district, restaurants, and most of Newport’s popular attractions.
The inn features beautiful gardens, cozy gathering spots, 16 elegantly renovated guest rooms, and wonderful B&B amenities for you to enjoy. Start the day with breakfast in the dining room, help yourself to coffee, tea, or hot chocolate all day long, and relax in the parlor or on the wrap-around porch with wine and refreshments in the afternoon. You can also join in complimentary yoga classes in the garden every Sunday morning from May through September.
When you’re ready to get out and explore, make sure you do the famous Cliff Walk trail, a 3.5-mile walk with breathtaking views of the shoreline on one side and the spectacular Newport Mansions on the other. Or head over to the bustling waterfront area for shopping, lunch, and sightseeing. Newport is a walkable tsown, making it easy to get from one place to another.
At night enjoy dinner at any of the town’s amazing restaurants. The Landing is a good choice for casual dining and offers indoor/outdoor seating and harbor views. Or try the award-winning Bouchard Restaurant if you’re in the mood for upscale French fare. Wrap up the evening with a taste of Newport’s buzzing nightlife scene at the Clarke Cooke House’s exclusive Sky Bar or the more accessible Tavern on Broadway.
During your trip, you’ll enjoy a private helicopter tour of the area, taking in the amazing views of Newport’s lavish estates, pristine coastline, and historic landmarks from the air. That’s followed by a two-hour cruise aboard an America’s Cup yacht, where you’ll sail around the bay, with views of Fort Adams, the Newport Pell Bridge, and iconic New England lighthouses. In the peak season of May through October, you might even spot marine mammals such as blue whales, gray whales, and bottlenose dolphins swimming in the water around you. While onboard, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights, or get hands-on experience sailing the boat. The professional crew is happy to coach anyone interested in learning to sail, but participation is not required.
Fill the rest of your Newport getaway exploring the local museums, taking self-guided tours of the mansions, hanging out and playing on the beach, day-tripping to nearby vineyards, or enjoying the many seasonal festivals Newport hosts throughout the year.
With so many options, this historic New England resort town is the perfect destination for a family trip or a romantic getaway for two.
