Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts
Nested on the Atlantic, south of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard is a Massachusetts island that offers a quintessential New England summer vacation experience. Stay with Inspirato at Harthaven, a six-bedroom home with easy access to South Beach, plus a private heated outdoor pool and lounge area. And at nearby Spiritsail, find a stunning new-build home with its own pool, chef’s kitchen, and game room, just 10 minutes from Edgartown.
A Farm-to-Table Departure
Even though life slows down the moment you arrive, the busy main port of Vineyard Haven is a testament to the charm and intrigue of Martha's Vineyard. An archipelago of the Elizabeth Islands off the coast of Massachusetts, and only about 100 square miles, the island has long served as a discreet summer colony for families, low-key celebrities, and curious travelers. Colonial influences are apparent in the island's architecture and the landscape is dotted with lighthouses, farms, sandy beaches, and quaint shops. Vacationers put down their suitcases here for the quiet and calm, the same quality that attracts a star-studded list to the serene atmosphere.
