Castle Hill Inn- Newport
One of the most romantic destinations in Rhode Island hands down is Newport. Cobblestone streets, dining on the wharfs, and breathtaking landscapes.
The Castle Hill Inn is perfect for couples looking for a luxurious weekend getaway. There are beautiful ocean views no matter what time of the year it is. If you are looking to spend a little less on your weekend getaway, book during the off season where room rates tend to be lower.
If you plan to enjoy a weekend in Newport and consider yourself the outdoorsy type, go for a stroll along with the Cliff Walk or have a picnic at Fort Adams. On your way back, take the 10 mile coastline drive down Ocean Rd.
If you want to spend more time at Castle Hill Inn (which- I don’t blame you!) sit out on their lawn for lunch or walk to the Castle Hill Inn Lighthouse. At night, check out Thames street and some of Newport’s well known restaurants and bars with live music.
If you still need more to do, wander down to the Castle Hill spa for a couples massage or even take a drive to Newport Vineyards.
There are endless possibilities to make a weekend romantic in Newport no matter the time of year, especially if you are with that special someone!

1661 Inn, Block Island
A weekend on Block Island is as romantic as it gets for us Rhode Islanders. It’s a vacation without having to do any crazy travel. The 1661 Inn is a unique spot on the Block. Some of the rooms are very simple where as others are much more luxurious. Rooms can get pricey on the island but the 1661 has some cheaper accommodations and you can still enjoy the resort. In the summertime, you can lay out by the garden and enjoy a cocktail overlooking the ocean. The view itself is the most romanic part. Not to mention everything else Block Island has to offer.

Christopher Dodge House, Providence
Although I am more of a Southern Rhode Island girly, I had to include a city experience on my list. I have never stayed at the Christopher Dodge House but it proves to be one of the more romantic getaway spots in the city. It is known as the hidden gem of Providence. Their stay offers a chef’s choice breakfast.
The best part of this getaway is the proximity to all providence has to offer. There are many breweries & restaurants in the area that are some of the best in the state.
