A Romantic New England Getaway for Couples
Some getaways are about seeing as much as possible. Others are about having more time for each other.
Set along the shores of Pleasant Bay on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Wequassett brings together luxury accommodations, exceptional waterfront dining, wellness, and signature coastal experiences in a setting made for slowing down together.
For couples searching for a New England getaway, this is a place to experience the coast at its own pace. Wake to quiet mornings beside the water, spend the afternoon exploring Cape Cod, linger over dinner as the sun goes down, or leave the day completely open.
Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a romantic weekend, or simply ready for time away together, your Cape Cod couples getaway can be as relaxed or adventurous as you choose.
A Luxury Couples Getaway in Massachusetts
Your accommodations should feel like part of the getaway.
At Wequassett, elegant guest rooms, suites, and cottages create a peaceful retreat inspired by Cape Cod’s coastal setting. For couples planning a weekend getaway in Massachusetts, it’s somewhere to start the morning slowly, return after an afternoon exploring the Cape, and enjoy the simple luxury of having nowhere else you need to be.
Whether you’re here for two nights or turning a long weekend into a longer New England escape, your room becomes somewhere to retreat to between everything else the resort has to offer.
Dine Together on Pleasant Bay
For a special evening, reserve a table at twenty-eight Atlantic, Cape Cod’s first and only Forbes Five-Star restaurant. Executive Chef James Hackney’s refined coastal cuisine is paired with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Pleasant Bay, creating an elegant setting for anniversaries, celebrations, and dinners worth dressing up for.
When the weather calls for dinner outside, The Verandahs offers alfresco fine dining on a two-tiered stone terrace overlooking Pleasant Bay and the Atlantic beyond. Ocean views, landscaped gardens, and the sounds of the water create an entirely different atmosphere for an evening together.
For something more spontaneous, stop at LiBAYtion for cocktails and light bites beside the beach, with live entertainment adding to the atmosphere during the summer months. Later, settle into Thoreau’s for shared plates, cocktails, and an intimate tavern setting beside the fireplace.
Make Time for Wellness Together
Wellness at Wequassett can become as much or as little a part of your stay as you choose. Begin the day with Balance & Bliss Yoga, recharge with HigherDOSE red light and infrared wellness technology, or fit in a workout overlooking Pleasant Bay.
For couples looking to make wellness a bigger part of their escape, Wequassett also hosts dedicated retreats throughout the year. This November, Lake Austin at Wequassett brings Lake Austin Spa Resort to Cape Cod for Tides of Light, a restorative weekend centered around movement, mindfulness and connection, with experiences ranging from breathwork and Yoga Nidra to sunset reflection and an immersive sound bath.
Experience Cape Cod Together
Some of the best memories are made beyond your room. Wequassett’s location on Pleasant Bay opens the door to Cape Cod experiences made for sharing, whether you’d rather spend the day on the water, explore the coastline, or discover nearby towns together.
A Little Friendly Competition
Add something active to your couples getaway with racquet sports at Wequassett. Head to the courts for a game of tennis or pickleball, whether you’re experienced players or simply looking for a fun way to spend time together between slower moments at the resort.
Make a morning of it before heading to the pool, or fit in a match before cocktails and dinner overlooking Pleasant Bay. A little friendly competition adds another way to experience Wequassett together without having to leave the resort.
Escape to the Outer Beach
One of Wequassett’s signature experiences begins right from the resort dock.
Journey to the Outer Beach includes a complimentary 15-minute boat ride across Pleasant Bay to the Cape Cod National Seashore. Once there, spend your time swimming, strolling the shoreline, searching for shells, or simply settling into the sand together. The experience operates from mid-May through mid-October and requires reservations.
For an elevated day by the coast, the Signature Outer Beach Experience offers another way to make the excursion feel like part of a special getaway.
Explore at Your Own Pace
Not everything needs to be booked in advance. Kayak or paddleboard on Pleasant Bay, cycle a section of the Cape Cod Rail Trail, browse the boutiques and galleries of Chatham, or simply choose somewhere new to explore for the afternoon.
Wequassett’s location on Massachusetts’ Cape Cod makes it easy to balance time at the resort with discovering more of the region together. From coastal towns and beaches to the Cape Cod National Seashore, your New England getaway can extend well beyond the resort whenever you feel like exploring.

Slow Down by the Water
Not every day needs an itinerary.
Spend an afternoon beside the waterfront pool, reserve a private cabana, or retreat to the adults-only heated lap pool for somewhere a little quieter. Set in a secluded corner of the resort, the lap pool offers couples a peaceful place to swim, relax, and unwind between activities.
When the sun begins to go down, move from the pool to cocktails, dinner, or the fire pits and let the evening unfold without having to leave the resort.
Sometimes doing very little becomes one of the best parts of getting away
From Morning Coffee to Cocktails by the Bay
One of the luxuries of staying at Wequassett is not having to plan every part of the day.
Start with coffee and fresh pastries from The Sill before heading out for the morning. Return for a breezy waterfront lunch at Outer Bar, where seafood, cocktails, and views across the pool and beach set the tone for an unhurried afternoon.
Later, head to LiBAYtion for a drink beside the beach, retreat to your room to get ready, and finish the evening with dinner at The Verandahs or twenty-eight Atlantic.
Tomorrow can look completely different.
Celebrate Something Special
An anniversary, birthday, engagement, or spontaneous weekend away deserves somewhere that feels different from everyday life.
Spend the morning on Pleasant Bay, take a boat to the Outer Beach, return for time by the pool, then dress for dinner overlooking the water. The next day might bring yoga, a round of golf, an afternoon exploring Chatham, or simply another slow morning together.
You don’t need a packed itinerary to make the occasion memorable. At Wequassett, the setting and experiences give you plenty to build your getaway around while leaving space for time together.
