Spend a weekend of sensual solitude in America’s First Destination

Provincetown, Mass. – As cold and snow begin to blanket the east coast, embrace the season’s romantic spirit and plan a warm winter weekend in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The seaside charm of America’s First Destination becomes candlelit and cozy this time of year, as award-winning local inns, B&B’s and boutique hotels light their fireplaces, welcoming guests for a festive New Year’s celebration or an intimate Valentine’s Day retreat.

Enticing off-season accommodation rates make a visit to Ptown that much easier, and the eclectic shops, galleries and restaurants offer world-class entertainment in any season. Far from the fashionable frenzy of summertime, getting snowbound in Provincetown means simple pleasures and laid-back luxury surrounded by the stunning beauty of this haven at the tip of Cape Cod.

For those looking to add a wild side to their quiet getaway, corks will start popping across Ptown as New Year’s parties begin welcoming visitors on Dec. 27. The town’s terrific restaurants will be preparing special tasting dinners all week, and the Eve itself will of course be cause for the biggest celebrations, punctuated by legendary parties at the A-House, Crown & Anchor, and the Sage Inn & Lounge. New Year’s Day will feature a number of tasty brunches and recovery celebrations.

As things in Provincetown quiet down after New Year’s Eve, they will also heat up as the town prepares a warm welcome for guests that take advantage of the long Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday weekend on Jan. 17-20. The extended Valentine’s Day / Presidents Day weekend on Feb. 14-17 is also a good time for couples looking to hideout among Provincetown’s fine selection of well-appointed accommodations, which are by turns charming, cozy, elegant, luxurious – and all generously hospitable.

Take advantage of the year’s best rates and book a spa treatment or massage; pick a guilty pleasure off your reading list; pack your pajamas or something a little bit more comfortable; make a few reservations; select one or two of your favorite wines, and you’ll be all set for a relaxing weekend in what Smithsonian Magazine, Fodor’s and others have called one of the best small towns in America.
