The classic American retreat.
Located on ten waterfront acres on Shelter Island, just a five-minute ferry from both the North and South Fork, The Pridwin is a beautifully restored coastal retreat rooted in tradition and charming interiors.
Discover The Pridwin
On the shores of Crescent Beach...
Light-filled rooms and cottages open onto an expansive campus of pool and lawns that meet Crescent Beach and Peconic Bay, creating a setting that feels both elevated and effortlessly relaxed. Here, days unfold slowly—on the courts, by the water, at the spa, or gathered at sunset. A spirited escape, thoughtfully renewed, where the beauty of the island and the comfort of a storied hotel come together in simple, unforgettable moments.
