The North Fork of Long Island beckons visitors with a handful of outsized strengths. Chief among them: gorgeous coastal views, rich farmland, relaxing wineries and quaint towns. Hotel Moraine, perched on a dramatic bluff overlooking Long Island Sound and just a short drive from the bustling town of Greenport, is well-positioned for guests to take advantage of all of these compelling local characteristics.
The resort is spread out over three acres with a handful of newly-constructed, barn-like buildings perched above the expansive sound. All 20 guest rooms at the family-friendly destination feature dramatic water views. Terrace King rooms also offer private terraces while Premium King rooms contain fireplaces. The vibe throughout the property is relaxed coastal chic with a neutral color palette, white oak beams and hand-sewn rugs. Many rooms also have large soaking tubs and walk-in showers. Overall, the vibe manages to be both elevated and cheerfully welcoming.
At the center of the resort is a heated patio with two gas fire pits that overlooks a large, heated saltwater gunite swimming pool. (It’s nice enough that you can be excused for never making it to the end of the lawn to visit the actual beach.) A day at the pool can involve ordering vacation-ready foods like salads and lobster rolls. Rosé is also on hand from nearby Croteaux Vineyards which shares an owner with the property. In addition to the pool, guests can take advantage of complimentary bicycles, a fitness center, stand-up paddleboards and even a communal cottage stocked with board games.
