The house
Little Gem ResortsSeaside family resort
Life here revolves around nostalgic summer pastimes, from antique fire truck rides to life-sized chess on the lawn.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Two heated outdoor pools, tennis courts, and morning yoga across eleven oceanfront acres.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The Winnetu Oceanside Resort offers a respite from the hustle and bustle with a gamut of activities that run from tennis and yoga to a ride on an antique fire truck.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
A boardwalk path leads over the dunes to South Beach, and flat bike trails run across Katama.
The rooms
Suites and private cottages range from one to four bedrooms, designed specifically for multigenerational family stays.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated 70-foot pool is lined with private cabanas, a short walk from the dunes.
Yoga and massage
Instructors lead morning yoga across the front lawn. Guests can book Swedish and prenatal massages in dedicated treatment rooms.
Restaurant
The Dunes
Regional seafood and farm produce lead the coastal menu, served on an ocean-facing deck and in the dining room.
At the table
The Poolside Grill serves casual lunches and frozen drinks on the deck, and staff bring cocktails directly to the cabanas.
How it began
The Snider family built the shingle-style resort in 2000, replacing the postwar Katama Shores Inn.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
