Gurney’s Newport and Montauk have earned the honor of being among the most Instagrammable pools for bachelorette parties by Brides Magazine.
Here’s what they wrote:
Gurney’s, Montauk, New York and Newport, Rhode Island
At Gurney’s you can take your pick between adult playground favorites Newport or the Hamptons, at one of their two locations on Montauk’s most pristine stretch of beach and on Lake Montauk. Another reason to check them out? Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa is the only four-season resort in Montauk that features a 30,000 square feet Seawater Spa (unlike any other spa you’ve seen) and it has the only pool of its kind in North America, which uses seawater that’s been drawn from Montauk’s coast, sand-filtered, and warmed to the perfect temperature. Meanwhile over on the Rhode Island side, Gurney’s Newport celebrates its second summer as the staple bachelorette destination with live music at the only outdoor pool in Newport, at The Pineapple Club.
Now listen, if you follow me at all you’ll know that I think Gurney’s is the top spot in town. And what do we do on Sundays? Say it with me…On Sundays we go to Gurney’s! That’s jus the way it is.

Wondering where to go when you’re in Newport?
Here’s our thoughts
Where to stay:
If you’re visiting Newport, book your stay at Gurneys Newport Resort & Marina, they are hands down the nicest hotel in Newport and their seaside location on Goat Island with 360° water views and the seclusion of a private island is just a jaunt from the shops and eateries of downtown Newport.
Eats:
If you’re looking for some great spots to dine, we recommend hitting up local favorites such as Tavern on Broadway, Norey’s (RI’s #1 craft beer bar), LaForge Casino Restaurant (piano bar every Friday and Saturday night), Scarpetta and The Deck!
And if you love donuts (and who doesn’t?) Swing by Liberty Donuts for the freshest delectable delights in all of Rhode Island!
Party:
The party never stops at Gurney’s, The Deck, Dockside, and The Pier. Tavern on Broadway and LaForge are the goto spots for locals all year round
Don’t miss:
No trip to Newport is complete without a trip to the Audrain Automobile Museum.
Taste the flavor:
Swing by the Newport Craft Brewing & Distilling Co. and sample some of their award winning creations.
Founded in 1999 by four college friends, Newport Storm Brewery was the original production craft brewery in Rhode Island. They created more than 100 distinctive beers while keeping things local and authentic. From their flagship Hurricane Amber Ale to seasonal brews made with Rhode Island grown ingredients, to beers aged in rum barrels, the brewery has been in the vanguard of craft brewing for nearly 20 years.
In 2006 the crew began distilling craft spirits. They were the first distillery in Rhode Island in 135 years and currently produce whiskey, a single barrel rum, and an overproof white rum.
Dress for success:
Newport’s First Lady Deborah Winthrop owns the premier women’s boutique on Aquidneck Island with hip and chic clothing, bra sized swimwear and a the largest selection of lingerie around. Deborah and her staff are all expert bra fitters. The right bra will make you look and feel 10 years younger and 10lbs lighter!! Swing by and see for yourself.
