Hang Out In An Igloo At Gurney’s Newport Resort & Marina In Rhode Island

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.

Of course, while shopping, dining, bars, mansions, and museums await you in Newport, you just might decide to stay here and relax.

Warm up with a glass of wine and a snack at The Lounge, which has some seriously stunning sunset views...

... or treat yourself to a delicious meal at Scarpetta.

Scarpetta brings the sophistication of Manhattan to this laid back luxury property.

The rooms and suites here are spacious but cozy, many offering stunning water views.

But if you come in the winter, resist the urge to hibernate in your bed. After all, you'll have the chance to spend time in an igloo.

The three multi-sensory igloos are here until February 29, and they're fabulous.

The themes include Santa’s Workshop, Astrology, and Tropical Summer.

Each igloo is equipped with cozy blankets, games, snack, and a bell to ring when you'd like to order food or drinks from your server.

The best part is that the igloos are all clear, so you can take in the water views while staying warm and cozy inside.

The igloos rent for $25 per person, and each one can fit up to eight people inside.

All proceeds go to Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Rhode Island, proving that this really is the most wonderful time of the year.
