Guys Getaway at Nantucket's White Elephant

Jason Salzenstein READ TIME: 2 MIN.

As we all know, men need quality downtime just as much as girls and kids, and the newest twist in weekend getaways is aimed at fellows treating themselves to all-male outings that are full of fun 'guy stuff' and loaded with creature comforts. Luckily, the EDGE Travel team discovered someone who's stepped in to treat the boys.

Nantucket's White Elephant has stepped up to the plate with its new 'Sea or Tee' men's package, which is intended to strike just the right mix of play time and pampering.

Available through November, the sporty program is designed for a group of four guys sharing spacious accommodations in a two bedroom/two bath garden cottage. The off-peak months - when the island is free of summertime crowds - are considered to be highly superior by the island's locals.

For $2400, four men will enjoy four days and three nights of male bonding including all the hotel services and amenities of the White Elephant, plus:

  • Locally brewed Cisco beer upon arrival with a gift of Pilsner glasses
  • A day of surf casting with rod and tackle or 18 holes of golf at Miacomet Golf Course, with a delicious boxed lunch
  • Hosted port, sherry, and cheese service in the afternoon
  • Dinner at the award-winning Brant Point Grill
  • Private grill lesson with Brant Point Grill chef

    The White Elephant sits serenely on the waterfront, yet is only minutes from the fabulous boutiques and art galleries, mouth-watering restaurants, and fascinating museums for which the island is known. The hotel consists of 53 chic, light-filled guestrooms and suites, most with working fireplaces and harbor views, and 11 Garden Cottages.

    Accommodations are also available at Fifty Seven Easton Street, a four bedroom house with a one bedroom guest cottage. Hotel guests can enjoy full access to the Library, an exercise room, a business lounge, and the Harborside Lawn.
