BLUE_BOSTON_YOGA_1

Unwind to the sounds of seagulls soaring and waves crashing, exhale in the hot tub or enjoy a glass of wine over sweeping coastal views on the deck…  Blue, New England’s boutique beach escape is now back on Plum Island.  With thirteen luxurious rooms, suites and cottages every inch of the inn and its grounds have been thoughtfully (re)crafted to celebrate the Atlantic waters.  Directly on the beach, the property sports expansive porches and lounging decks with ocean views from many of its rooms.  A private hot tub is also plunked just steps from the island’s golden sands.  Contemplating a family retreat?  The inn’s Blue Suite, formerly known as the Grand Salon, extends to guests an airy 2200 square feet and provides direct access to a private beach.  Blue’s Design recently enjoyed a refresh under the creative eye of the team at Boston-based Rachel Reider Interiors.  Soothing tones blended with natural textures and anchored by “shades of the hotel’s namesake color” collide gently to forge a “true island resort vibe” and celebrate Plum Island’s splendor.

Plum Island, and island for all seasons, is beloved by many for its miles of public sand beaches, the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and also for its proximity to downtown Newburyport with its bustling restaurant scene, boutiques and vibrant arts community.  “Close to town yet a world away” boasts Blue’s website.  Pair an autumn stay at Blue in and around Savor Newburyport, the annual ten day celebration of Newburyport’s bounty of restaurants, happening September 22nd through October 1st.
