Those who call Rhode Island home already know that winter is actually a fantastic time to explore the state, especially if you want a better deal (not to mention a less crowded experience) at one of our seaside resorts. Gurney’s Newport Resort & Marina is one of those coveted places, offering lavish luxury and scenic views. But as fantastic as all the amenities are at the resort, this winter, you can enjoy something truly unique — hanging out in an igloo.

Gurney's Newport Resort sits nestled on Goat Island, surrounded by Narragansett Bay.

The property offers 360-degree water views, which is pretty rare (and fabulous).
Although the resort sits on its own quiet island, you'll be just a few minutes away from downtown Newport and all its attractions.
