Rhode Island resorts can serve up comfort and luxury for a great getaway

You don’t have to find your passport to stay at one of only 13 Forbes Triple Five-Star Hotels in the world: Just set sail for Rhode Island, where the Ocean House resort, high on the bluffs of Watch Hill, offers the kind of exceptional personal experience that keeps guests coming back. The resort’s accommodations reflect its oceanfront location: soothing and spacious, with curated art. Guests can indulge in everything from swimming in the saltwater lap pool or relaxing in the award-winning spa to taking cooking classes or tasting wine (from among the inn cellar’s 8,000 bottles) at the Center for Wine and Culinary Arts. The resort also features a private beach, exquisite dining and the perfect lawn for croquet.
