Experience it all — play tennis or host a “tennis party,” book a private poolside cabana and unwind, go on a boat tour of Pleasant Bay, and relax in your discreetly luxurious, rural-chic guestroom. Sign your kids up for pirate adventures and beach bonfires. Surrounded by 22 acres of lush greenery, this unforgettable resort is as close to paradise as they come.

Accommodations

The 121 amazing guestrooms and suites have been designed to complement the ambiance and beauty of the immediate outdoors with big windows and a color palette reflecting the natural shades of Cape Cod. Choose from The Signature Collection, with a patio or deck that overlooks Round Cove or Pleasant Bay, or a Cottage Style room, which includes a charming fireplace and luxurious bath, some with exquisite views.

For a truly unforgettable stay, consider one of the villas, which offer a luxurious home away from home experience with vaulted cathedral ceilings creating an unbelievable sense of space. Beyond that, the private residence — delightfully named Mother Goose — features a full kitchen, a separate dining and living room area, a waterfront patio with gorgeous panoramas, and three bedrooms.

For personal recommendations, liaise with one of the resort’s helpful members of staff — they’ll advise on the kinds of experiences that match your preferences. Children have all the distractions they could need at the Children’s Center, featuring climbing ropes, a giant pirate ship, video games, and so much more. Enjoy some downtime while they take sailing or tennis lessons, and reconvene later for a star-lit, family-friendly movie night by the pool.

Dining

Whatever the weather, there’s a suitable dining spot at the resort, from the beachfront LiBAYtion to the crackling fire of Thoreau’s. The latter is located in an old sea captain’s house from the 1800s, along with the resort’s signature restaurant, Twenty-Eight Atlantic. Expect delicious fresh seafood and an extensive wine list, live entertainment, and preeminent service.

Wequassett Resort and Golf Club Dining

Twenty-Eight Atlantic – With the highest Forbes, AAA, and Zagat ratings on Cape Cod, you can expect an exalted fine-dining experience here. The airy venue has a vaulted ceiling hung with hand-blown glass lantern chandeliers and views across the water. Take in the scenery as you enjoy seasonal dishes such as ash-roasted cod loin with oyster aioli.

Outer Bar & Grille – The relaxed Outer Bay terrace, with its pleasant sea breeze, is where you can enjoy a lunch of lobster rolls and Pleasant Bay oysters. For dessert, you have two options — tiramisu or mojito and coco (which includes lime mousse, mint sponge cake, and coconut rum cremeux).

LiBAYtion – Head down to the beachfront pergola for light bites from the Outer Bar with zesty cocktails or a chilled rosé wine. It’s an ideal space for afternoon drinks or a nightcap on balmy summer evenings.

Thoreau’s – Named after 19th-century philosopher Henry David Thoreau, this cozy bar is where you can sink into a rich leather chair by the roaring fire or enjoy the views of Pleasant Bay over a dinner of dry-aged rib eye steak and cabernet sauvignon.

The Verandahs – This alfresco, two-tier dining area is open for breakfast and dinner during the warmest months. Enjoy dishes such as line-caught swordfish served with pickled kumquat and fennel, vistas across the bay, and live music.

Activities at Wequassett Resort and Golf Club

Wequassett Resort and Golf Club Activities

Though you can easily spend all day reading on your patio, relaxing in a Jacuzzi, indulging in a private cabana, or reclining on the beachfront sun lounger, there’s plenty to keep you active. Swim laps in the Olympic-sized pool, have a laugh at a dance class in the fitness center, or challenge your friends to a game of tennis. Likewise, at the Children’s Center, there is a whole program of activities to occupy and entertain your kids, including a splash park, video games, and scavenger hunts. If you’re partial to a round of golf, the immediate Cape Cod National Golf Club beckons. One of the best courses in the country, it is open only to members — and Wequassett Resort and Golf Club guests.

Beyond the greens, explore Monomoy River on a private kayaking tour and spot blue herons, egrets, and red-tailed hawks. Ride a bicycle through the picturesque Cape Cod Rail Trail. Round the day off with a special “Sunset Sails” cruise, where you can watch the sun vanish into the ocean.

Location

Set on the “elbow” of Cape Cod’s Atlantic Ocean coastline, the idyllic Wequassett Resort and Golf Club is located in sheltered Pleasant Bay just outside the quaint village of Harwich.
