Mineral Pools

The Boathouse Spa and Heated Seaside Mineral Pools are an adult sanctuary with the minimum age requirement of each guest being 16 years of age.

To ensure your pool experience is low-impact to the environment, we encourage guests to bring their empty water bottles with them to the pools. We are pleased to offer a water bottle filling station on the pool deck.

Depending on demand, exclusive pool access may be limited to 3 hours per visit for overnight Hotel Guests. Spa Guests that add Pool Experience to their treatment are limited to 2 hours per visit.

Please note that due to the limited seating and exclusive experience of our pool decks, we are unable to guarantee a specific seat or lounger at time of booking, nor can we guarantee that your assigned seat will have direct sun or shade.

For our guest’s relaxation and to maintain spa serenity, phones are allowed but must be silenced before entering the pool deck or Boathouse Spa. Phone and/or video calls are prohibited.

Please be advised that the mineral pools and sauna may occasionally close due to inclement weather, scheduled maintenance, or unforeseen mechanical issues. When this occurs, all registered guests will be notified directly, and updates may also be shared on our website or social media channels. These temporary closures are implemented with the safety and well-being of our guests and employees in mind.

Our team closely monitors conditions, and pools will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we invite you to embrace the beauty of the storm from the comfort of your ocean-view suite, The Snug Pub, or the Grand Lobby. Please note that weather conditions can change rapidly, and while we strive to provide timely updates, advance notice may not always be possible. Additionally, certain amenities may be subject to routine repairs and maintenance to ensure the highest standards of service.

Boathouse Spa

To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking your spa experience 4 to 6 weeks in advance.

Please arrive minimum 15 – 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time.

The services you select are reserved especially for you. Arriving late will limit the time of your service, thus lessening the effectiveness of your relaxation. As a courtesy to the next guest, your spa service will end on time regardless of when you begin.

We request that if you would like to change any spa bookings prior to the day, please provide us with 24 hours’ advance notice. We will be unable to change same day bookings. We require 48 hours’ advance notice for bookings of 3 or more. Missed appointments or same day cancellation are subject to full charge.

Weddings

We require that all couples booking the Full Wedding Package and Timeless Love Package have hired an independent wedding planner or event planning company.
