3. A NATURAL LIFE

With gorgeous land, trails, and compli-mentary bikes, the top-tier Weekapaug Inn in Westerly, RI, brought in naturalist Mark Bullinger to maximize the outdoor experience for guests. Bullinger offers daily classes in fly fishing, clam catching, birding, stargazing, and more. And on August 7, he will be leading a Full Moon Paddle through the silvery moonlight of Quonochontaug Pond, with a cham-pagne toast to follow. What a guy.

4. UP, UP, AND AWAY!

Montauk or Newport? No need to decide, because this summer, you can be in both. The acclaimed five-star Gurney’s Resort opened a second, soon-to-be renovated outpost in Newport. Over the Fourth of July weekend, the hotel, which partnered with Blade helicopter charters, will be flying guests between Newport and Montauk. “With our debut of the Newport resort, we are excited to have guests from near and far celebrate in a destination that is so quintessentially Americana,” says George Filopoulos, owner of Gurney’s Resorts.

5. AIN’T NO MOUNTAIN…

“She sounds great after all these years!” says Kim Noltemy, the BSO’s Chief Operating & Communications Officer. ‘She’ is Diana Ross, the legendary female singer performing at the BSO’s Tanglewood Festival on August 30th, along with Melissa Etheridge, the Boston Pops, and John Williams. Tanglewood is the BSO’s yearly summer festival that has held performances on its 526 acres since the 1930s. “Tanglewood is interest-ing because you can bring in food, beverages, couches, canopies—whatever you want.” Tanglewood, 297 West St., Lenox, MA; 617-266-1200; bso.org/brands/tanglewood .

TAKE A RIDE ON THE

PSYCHEDELIC SIDE AT

OCEAN HOUSE WITH A LILLY

PULITZER MAKEOVER.

BY KELLY ANDERSON

There are purple seahorses on the bikes, fuchsia snails on cabanas, and cobalt butterflies on the towels. You’ll probably be sporting a few emerald green anchors on your shorts yourself after a stay at the newly decorated Lilly Pulitzer scene at The Ocean House in Watch Hill, RI, an official partner of the brand. “Both brands are so iconic,” says Ocean House’s Lisa Glover, “ and marrying them up in a fun collabo-ration like this just made sense.”

Lilly Pulitzer, the eponymous founder of the company, was an infamous American socialite who was known as the Queen of Prep. And nothing quite says “New England summer” like preppy accoutrements. At Ocean House, guests can ride complimentary Lilly-patterned Martone bikes for ice cream and shopping in Watch Hill’s charming downtown, where a new Lilly Pulitzer shop has opened.

If you still don’t have your fix, book your stay specifically for the one-bedroom Lilly Pulitzer (formerly the Nash) Suite. The space has been decked out from floor to ceiling in Pulitzer décor. There’s hand painted canvases, shell accented mirrors, custom Lilly print king-size bedding (along with 100 percent goose down and foam pillows), curtains, and splashy barware. Guests will be gifted with pop color Lilly beach totes, too. Once you’ve entered the garden of citrus suns and lime sea urchins, there is no going back. Ocean House, 1 Bluff Ave., Watch Hill, RI, 401-584-7000; oceanhouseri.com .

Lilly Pulitzer’s motto: “Anything

is possible with sunshine and a

little pink.” Lime green and

royal blue don’t hurt either, as

seen here at the Ocean House’s

Lilly Pulitzer suite. CLOCKWISE
