Plan Your Stay
While You’re Here
Nestled under a canopy of old-growth oak trees and skirted by a lawn dotted with Adirondack chairs, The Pridwin feels like a retreat from a lost era—and that’s because it is. There’s a host of experiences to enjoy—from kayaking and paddle boarding, to pickle ball, croquet, and tennis. Hike scenic Mashomack Preserve, and explore the island at your leisure by bike or Moke™. Plus, you’ll love thoughtful touches like a deluxe Continental Breakfast each morning of your stay, rounding out the ultimate Hamptons escape on Long Island’s East End.
Explore our Seasons
As spring blooms in Shelter Island, The Pridwin’s season begins. The expansive lawn turns a vibrant green, dotted with wildflowers and framed by budding trees, while the tranquil waters of Peconic Bay reflect the warmth of longer days. Guests can enjoy peaceful walks along the shoreline, fresh-air dining with seasonal fare, and the return of outdoor adventures like kayaking and biking.
There’s a certain kind of summer that lives only in memory—crisp linen sheets after sun-drenched afternoons, the scent of salt air carried on a bay breeze, Adirondack chairs on lush green grass besides blooming hydrangeas. At The Pridwin, that summer still exists.
