An island landmark, the iconic White Elephant, has been named among the finest luxury hotels on Nantucket Island for decades. Steeped in island charm, surrounded by the natural beauty of Nantucket's timeless surroundings, our waterfront resort has grown to include chic rooms with abundant natural light, spacious suites many with balconies and magnificent harbor views, garden cottages, luxurious residences and downtown lofts.
Edging the harbor, White Elephant is steps from Children's Beach, the Brant Point Lighthouse, and Nantucket Town. Relax by the outdoor heated pool in a private cabana or hop on a bike and explore the area. Enjoy steaks and seafood, sip cocktails on the Harborside Lawn, or rejuvenate in our world-class spa. Take in the sights of Nantucket Harbor and experience the beauty, serenity, and romantic nature of Nantucket Island.
A natural extension of our Harborside guestrooms, our residentially-styled Nantucket accommodations offer inviting spaces with first-class amenities in a beautiful resort setting. Spread across five two and three-story buildings next to the Inn, the Residences at the White Elephant feature unique floor plans and comes decorated with custom furniture, wool rugs, and local artwork, as well as a selection of fabrics inspired by the natural beauty of the island. They come well-appointed with living/dining rooms, fireplaces, pantry-style kitchens, and a five-fixture bathroom with soaking tub.
