The Pridwin Beach Hotel and Cottages

Exciting news about the future of the Pridwin

We would like to let you in on some exciting news about the future of the Pridwin. This year, the Pridwin will be undergoing a top to bottom renovation. While we will miss opening the doors for our guests and holding cookouts by the sunset in the summer of 2020, we know that this renovation will prepare our unique and beautiful hotel for the future. We also hope that the renovation will allow us to extend our season beyond just the summer, so the Pridwin may offer you access to Shelter Island’s magic spring and fall seasons.

We would like to thank you for being a part of the Pridwin family. Please know that this renovation will preserve all that you love about the Pridwin and will make it even more accessible to all who have come to call the Pridwin their own. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date with the progress. We look forward to welcoming you back with an anticipated reopening in the Spring of 2021.

A seasonal hotel, the Pridwin opens in May and is in full swing from the last weekend of June through Labor Day with a range of resort amenities including a private pool, small private beach, two docks, the excellent Moussa Drame Tennis Club and the Pridwin bar, lounge and restaurant overlooking the bay.
