The Resort at Port Ludlow

View on map

Love at First Sight

This boutique inn and marina is in a beautiful romantic setting on the water, surrounded by magnificent mountains and luscious greenery. Nestled on the shores of Puget Sound at the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula, you will find Port Ludlow. The Resort is 19 miles from the seaport village of Port Townsend where 'An Officer and a Gentleman' was filmed and a day on North Beach looking for sea glass is the epitome of romance. You will find a relaxing getaway, with its Cape Cod architecture, farm-to-table dining, award-winning wine list, and romantic guest rooms that offer a cozy fireplace and jetted tub. You may opt for in-room massage treatments or enjoy the spa located close by. Its waterside location means you get to arrive in style, with a ferry ride/scenic drive from Seattle (90 minutes), but for the real show-stopper, guests can fly from Lake Union to Port Ludlow via seaplane (15 minutes); the most memorable way to make an entrance.

Romance

Port Ludlow offers everything you need to make your romantic occasion truly memorable. This beautiful setting is the perfect place to pop the question, celebrate an anniversary, renew your vows, or tie the knot. Enjoy sunsets over the Marina, long walks on the beach, scenic hikes, or simply exploring the area hand-in-hand at your leisurely pace. Port Ludlow is also a popular honeymoon hideaway, and there are a variety of packages to choose from, with romantic enhancements upon request including strawberries, locally-sourced chocolates, and wine or sparkling cider awaiting you in your room at the end of the day.

Your Stay

This 37-room inn features spacious guest rooms with mountain and water views that take your breath away. Cozy up in front of your gas fireplace and share a peaceful moment. Linger in the comfort of your accommodations as you enjoy deep slumber and feel refreshed as you begin your next day. Splurge a bit on one of the two suites that include balconies and additional living space. Take a stroll through the lobby and first floor to enjoy rotating local artwork and historic photos. Find comfort in the common rooms as you look upon nature (often spotted are bald eagles, sea otters, and blue Heron).

What to Do

Take a romantic stroll to Ludlow Falls, just a short walk away from the resort, and become at one with nature. A hand-crafted log 'couch' sits at the bottom of the trail, and is the perfect place to take a moment together, enjoy the rush of the waterfall, and bask in the peace and quiet of your surroundings. Or for the more adventurous, check out the 26 miles of maintained hiking trails. Take in 18-holes of golf, get out on the water with kayaks or stand-up paddle boards, go kite flying, play a round of pickleball, or simply soak in the views. In Port Townsend, indulge in a soak at the 'bathhouse', stroll the historic downtown, or visit the local cideries; Finnriver, Alpenfire and Eaglemount.

The Food of Love

The resort restaurant, The Fireside, serves breakfast, lunch, and a daily dinner menu. The menus change seasonally to reflect the freshest locally sourced produce, meats, and cheeses. Savor the bounty of the local farms, fisheries, and artisans. Arrange for a picnic to take with you on your adventures or a personalized romantic tasting menu in the dining room with wine pairings selected by the sommelier from the resort's cellar. The Fireside features a large fireplace in the center of the room with candle lit tables and comfortable seating including cozy bench seating.
