3 Best Hotels in Points East Coastal Drive, Prince Edward Island

Few spots in PEI offer the elegance and luxury offered here and at the sister property Inn of Bay Fortune, both owned and operated by Canadian celebrity chef Michael Smith and his wife Chasity. Rooms are beautifully appointed with king and queen beds, fine linens, robes, and slippers, in a stunning heritage home filled with fine antiques, and set in tranquil grounds. This is the perfect place to stay if you're headed this way for Smith's Fireworks Feast dining experience.

One of the province's best-positioned inns occupies 13 idyllic acres minutes from the Greenwich segment of the national park. Making the most of this stunning location, all the adjoining cottage-style suites have decks—and deck chairs—facing St. Peters Bay. Huge windows in the McCulloch Room restaurant (reservations recommended for nonguests) similarly exploit the view, so you can drink it in while devouring a full breakfast (which is included in the rate) or sampling Continental cuisine prepared with contemporary flair at dinner.

If you've come to eastern PEI to golf, this resort is the place to stay because the provincial park that shares its name is home to two 18-hole championship courses. Golf packages are frequently available and, after a day on the links, you can play a little tennis, go for a swim, or unwind at the on-site Aveda spa; then bed down in either a cottage or conventional hotel room. Nongolfers will enjoy the pools, kayak and bike rentals, tennis courts, and horseback riding, and there's a children's playground, too.
