We take leisure seriously here at Cape Resorts. Vacations are important. Traditions are paramount. And relaxation is therapeutic. We love seeing guests unwind.

Most often, our guests come with their families for vacation. Or there are the weekend getaways—quick trips to catch one’s breath and have a change of scenery. And of course we play host to many milestone life events. But we want to give you another reason to visit. We believe that our refreshed fall, winter and spring retreat programs will do just that.

Our beloved and beautiful resorts offer the perfect setting and canvas to retreat, relax and learn. Our wellness programs will refresh you. Other immersive programs will teach you. All with the intention to unwind and have fun. The concept for these retreats is simple, really. They naturally play to the characteristics of our properties. They invite you to participate in authentic activities and seminars. They are fun and informative, chock full of opportunities that you can take advantage of at your own pace. Our love of the seasons guides them. Fresh, healthy food anchors them. And they are rooted in the essence of everything we love about the places we steward. In this article, we outline these offerings as an invitation to experience a richer side of Cape Resorts.

Authentic Farm Escapes

We all could use some grounding these days. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and overstimulated. From smartphones and social media to endless notifications and information overload, we often find ourselves yearning for a break from the digital chaos—a chance to reconnect and nurture a deeper connection with yourself and those you love. And at Beach Plum Farm, our Rooted getaways offer the perfect remedy.

Working with the earth is not only grounding, it is relaxing and calming and tangible. For three days, you’ll be immersed in the rhythms of farm life with different themes to choose from. Our farmers will teach you how to raise backyard chickens or show you how to build and grow in raised beds and small backyard greenhouses, or forage off the land, gaining an understanding of all the edible things right around us. As part of the daily rhythm, you will help gather ingredients from our rows and paddocks, while our Executive Chef will walk you through seasonal recipes tailored to your hand-picked crops. Just imagine the feeling of fulfillment after a day in the fresh air, picking carrots in the morning and roasting them in the evening for dinner. Beach Plum Farm’s beautiful cottage accommodations are the perfect place to call home and the gentle, open spaces provide the perfect setting to explore, create, taste and live in simple harmony with the land.

All - Inclusive Wellness

January 2023, we launched our first Intention wellness retreats in Cape May—escapes that center on the basic tenets of mindfulness, healthy, clean cuisine and fresh air. For three days, our guests were immersed in a lifestyle of complete relaxation, one filled with holistic wellness, daily adventures, and incredible, plant-based food. The first of these retreats took place at the Virginia Hotel, a haven of sophisticated design that perfectly married the healthy with the luxurious. Not long after, we hosted the program at the Beach Plum Farm Cottages, which was a natural setting for these wellness getaways. And now, we’re thrilled to make Intention one of our regular fall, winter and spring offerings in Cape May and on Shelter Island.

Spectacular guided hikes—one each day, and each with a surprise— form the basis of our Intention getaways. Private daily massage, as well as expertly-instructed yoga and Pilates-based sessions, relax and fortify mind and body. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included in your stay, each meal lovingly prepared with ingredients picked from our greenhouses.
