Soak up more than the sun on the North Shore’s only resort marina at Danfords Hotel. The fireplace suite overlooking Port Jefferson Harbor is a retreat in itself, but water-view balconies alone won’t relieve those knots between your shoulders. The on-site spa will, and luckily for you, they’ve got a set of hands that know just how to ride the pleasure-pain line so you leave feeling relieved yet relaxed. You’ll float so comfortably, you might feel more at home sleeping in a marina slip instead of your suite.

Let Long Island Marriott help you redefine a spa trip. A concierge-level king suite with a marble bathroom is all you need to indulge in peace and quiet. You’ll spend precious few waking hours there, though; the Garden City Barber Shop, Red Door Spa and SophistiCut Hair Salon will give you the look you want – but not to show off on the massage table. No, you’ll strut your style on the Eisenhower Park Golf Courses, where your definition of pampering equals putting for dough.
