๐ A Fall Weekend on Nantucket
Nantucket in the fall is magical โ the crowds fade, the air cools, and the island feels slower in the best possible way. The perfect setting for a girlsโ weekend filled with food, laughter, and coastal calm.
๐ Dinner at The Nautilus
We kicked off the weekend with dinner at The Nautilus, a favorite for its energy and creative shareable plates. The space is dimly lit and warm, with the kind of buzz that makes you want to order one of everything. We shared small plates and toasted to a weekend of good food and even better company.
๐โโ๏ธ Spa Day at The White Elephant
The next morning was slow and easy โ coffee, ocean views, and a spa day at the White Elephant. Between the facials, massages and the sound of the harbor outside, it was the ultimate reset. A few of the girls went to brunch at Lemon Press โ the perfect light and fresh start to the day.

๐๏ธ Afternoon Downtown
After the spa, we walked along the beach to Brant Point Lighthouse, watching ferries come into the harbor. The sky was soft and hazy, the air warm enough to stay outside a little longer. From there, we wandered through town โ popping into Centre Pointe for coastal linens and timeless pieces. The cobblestone streets were quiet, the hydrangeas fading to a fall pink โ that perfect off-season calm.

Dinner that night was at The Proprietors Bar & Table, one of the coziest spots on island. We ordered small plates to share and lingered for hours over seasonal dishes and conversation that felt like fall itself โ warm, layered, and comforting.

โ๏ธ Saturday: Barre, Bartlettโs & Cisco
The next morning started with a class at Forme Barre โ a bright, welcoming studio that somehow makes an early workout feel like self-care. From there, we stopped at Bartlettโs Farm for pumpkins, local produce, and herbs before heading to Cisco Brewers for live music and an afternoon in the sun. A perfect mix of wellness and play โ very on brand for the weekend.

Before heading home, we made one last stop at Sankaty Head Lighthouse to watch the sunset. The sky turned shades of peach and lavender as the light hit the cliffs โ the perfect ending to a slow, golden day on island.

๐พ Girlsโ Dinner at Home
We wrapped up the trip with dinner back at the house โ a spread of fall appetizers, local vegetables, and a table that felt special in the simplest way.
The tablescape was styled with pieces from Centre Pointe, and menus were hand-designed by Sageโs Studio Shop.
Candles, cozy sweaters, cocktails and laughter โ the kind of night that reminds you why gathering with friends is everything.

๐ค The Magic of Fall on Island
Nantucket in the fall has a different rhythm โ slower, calmer, more connected. Between the food, the friends, and the quiet moments in between, it was everything a fall weekend should be: cozy, creative, and filled with gratitude.
