Island Steals and Deals, Near and Far

The chilling realization: summer’s barreling toward July 4th (marking its halfway point).  The good news: travel deals are still available at island resorts from Nantucket to Jamaica to the Bahamas.

Nantucket
Think sun-filled days at the beach and evening clambakes on the dock. Book five consecutive nights July 7-19 and save up to 30% at the White Elephant Village, White Elephant, and The Wauwinet. Rates start at $2,500 for five nights. Stay at The Cottages and Lofts at the Boat Basin with “Hot Dates, Cool Rates” starting at $175 per night, or at the Jared Coffin House for $135 per night.

Bahamas
Known for its white sand beaches, warm turquoise waters, historic 12-century Augustian cloister, and restaurants, including Jean-Georges’ Dune, One&Only Ocean Club is offering seven nights for the price of four or 14 nights for the price of 10 including breakfast. One week stays start at $3,750 (a savings of $1,500) and two week stays start at $7,500 (a savings of $3,000).

Jamaica
Experience a different side of Jamaica this summer at Island Outpost resorts.  For travelers who love the sea but are sick of the sand, book the “Free Love Jamaica” package at The Caves and receive five nights for the price of four (rates start at $520/night).  For those in search of cool breezes without the beach, stay at Strawberry Hill, 3,100 feet above sea level, and enjoy 20% off any room category (rates start at $235/night). Visitors who love the sun, sea, and a little history, book a stay in a Lagoon Cottage at GoldenEye and receive $100 resort credit per day (rates start at $560/night).
