The Anchorage Hotel & Spa
About
Overview & Vibe
The Anchorage sits on Corlette Point Road with the marina running right up to the terrace, a Hamptons-style hotel where the water is visible through nearly every window.
Setting & Style
The look is old-world nautical done in pale timber and linen — French doors into the main lounge, roaring fireplaces, and Moby's Bar tucked upstairs with views down the beach. Weddings run from intimate elopements to full weekend celebrations, taking up to eighty seated or a hundred and fifty for cocktails. Each reception space is styled to taste, with dance floors, custom seating plans and bespoke wine selections, and couples are welcome to bring their own stylists and florists or work with the in-house team. Around the wedding itself sit two restaurants, a cocktail bar, a main pool with private cabanas, an adults-only infinity pool and Spa Lucca for the day before and the day after.
Ideal For
