Rehoboth Beach Luxury Hotels & Destination



Rehoboth Beach, DE

Rehoboth Beach has it all on a luxury hotel vacation: a popular summer destination, Rehoboth Beach offers beautiful coastal scenery, great arts and culture and a undemanding, relaxed environment. Rehoboth Beach has been known as a family destination, but luxury hotel travelers will find themselves pleasantly surprised by the cultural offerings and the sophistication of this small beach town. Still affected by its Nanticoke Indian beginnings, and from then on to its evolution as a Methodist summer camp in 1873, Rehoboth Beach is a unique luxury hotel vacation destination. With a careful eye on the past, and a desire to bring out the best of the present, Rehoboth Beach will delight luxury hotel guests.

Rehoboth Beach Luxury Hotels

It is true that the history of Rehoboth Beach dictates that Rehoboth Beach is more of a family fun destination than a luxury hotel one. This past assumption however, is being left in the dust, as luxury hotels of all stripes are setting up camp in Rehoboth Beach, catering to the sophisticated, elegant traveler. The luxury hotels in Rehoboth Beach often overlook the beautiful Delaware coastline; or perhaps they are in perched in a historic house in the center of the small Rehoboth beach downtown area. Wherever your luxury hotel is located, you can count on it being small and perhaps unassuming on the outside; but inside will be pure luxury, sophistication and elegance. The beach boardwalk and the sandy acres that comprise Rehoboth Beach can get a little busy during the summer months. Your Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel allows luxury hotel guests easy access to all the fun amenities in Rehoboth Beach, but also a peaceful, private escape when the crowds press in. Your Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel staff will provide courteous, professional service; always attentive, but never pushy or nosy. They understand what a Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel guest is looking for it and offer it elegantly.

Rehoboth Beach History and Museums

You will discover on your Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation that the past is omnipresent. Much more than a modern beachside resort, Rehoboth Beach has a rich cultural heritage that they share through interesting museums and unique enlightening activities. Start discovering the past on your Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation by visiting the Nanitoke Indian Museum in nearby Millsboro. This museum displays Native American artifacts and includes a library. Millsboro, the home of the Nanitoke tribe, also has a public powwow every September that preserves and showcases their heritage to interested travelers. Many luxury hotel destinations lack this keen perception of the past, and it is a refreshing change that in Rehoboth, the Native American past is as essential to the landscape as the modern story. The modern story is also interesting to discover on your Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation, however. In 1873, Rehoboth Beach was designated as a Christian sea-side resort, and the current family-fun atmosphere you see on your luxury hotel vacation was born. The area outside the beach was established as a living and shopping area, and the current museum of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society is located in one of these historic buildings. This is a great stop on your luxury hotel vacation, as well as the Lorenzo Dow Martin House, which is the oldest house in Rehoboth.

Rehoboth Beach Art Scene

The art scene on a Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation is small but bustling; the downtown area has several galleries that are all wonderful. Local artists permeate the artistic offerings, and this gives great insight into the lively personality of the Rehoboth Beach locals. Luxury hotel guests are interested in art should visit the Rehoboth Art League, which is located in nearby, charming Henlopen Acres. This facility offers year-round classes, exhibitions, concerts and workshops. The Rehoboth Art League also arranges a Cottage Tour the second week of July, where several of the most unique homes and gardens in Rehoboth open to the public. A final highlight in the Rehoboth Art League calendar for luxury hotel guests is the Outdoor Art Show ever August, which allows luxury hotel travelers to enjoy the beautiful outdoor climate while exploring local art. For luxury hotel guests who love the performing arts, take a short drive to Ocean City, MD, and catch a performance of the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, one of the finest symphonies in the Atlantic region. There are also free concerts held at 8 PM in the summer at the bandstand on Rehoboth Avenue. These are a great place to meet and mingle with the locals and celebrate the end of another successful Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation day.

Rehoboth Beach Outdoors

The outdoors are what have made Rehoboth Beach famous, and a luxury hotel vacation without a significant amount of time spent enjoying those outdoors would be a shame. One unique Rehoboth Beach activity that is charming and old-fashioned, just perfect for a luxury hotel vacation is berry picking. There are several local farms that provide the equipment and the know-how. Blueberry Lane Farm is one popular choice. If you want to get some exercise on your Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation, then take to the many cycling paths through and around Rehoboth Beach. Bicycles can be rented in various useful spots throughout the beach boardwalk area. A popular, shorter ride for luxury hotel guests to bike is the Junction and Breakwater Trail on the southwestern side of Cape Henlopen State Park. A harder ride, but so rewarding to try on your Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation, is The Southern Delaware Heritage Trail, which connects rivers, scenic drives and local historic sites. Another great way to see the Rehoboth Beach outdoors is to simply strap on comfortable shoes and go—if this is your preference for your luxury hotel vacation, then make sure to visit Delaware Seashore State Park, which covers the strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay.

Rehoboth Beach and Boardwalk

The heart of The City of Rehoboth Beach awaits—the beautiful beach and lively boardwalk, the source of fun on a Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation. Crowded with families, locals and luxury hotel guests like yourself, the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk has been recently refurbished and is nonstop activity. The Boardwalk is one mile long and consists of restaurants, games and shops. Rehoboth Beach itself is miles of white sand and warm water; in the height of the summer season, the beach can be dotted all over with umbrellas and picnic baskets, but this just adds to the convivial atmosphere. There are also many watersports available for luxury hotel guests in Rehoboth Beach: the calm waters of Rehoboth Bay offers excellent conditions for small boating and sailing. Luxury hotel guests who are surfers can find some great waves to try just north of the Indian River Inlet in the Delaware Seashore State Park. Skimboarding is another watersport that is gaining in popularity among luxury hotel guests: skimboarding summer camps are popular in Rehoboth Beach. The most well known outfit is Alley Oops Skim Camp, but check with your luxury hotel concierge about their recommendations. And if swimming is the way you want to experience the Rehoboth Beach outdoors on your luxury hotel vacation, then take to the ocean. All of the major beaches are patrolled and the water is just perfect for a dip.

Dining in Rehoboth Beach

Outside the beach and boardwalk area is cute and charming Rehoboth Beach. Antique shops, small boutiques and even the occasional tacky souvenir shop are all delights to discover on your Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation. But even foodies will enjoy exploring the gastronomy scene in Rehoboth Beach: everything from New York style pizza to casual restaurants to fine dining are to be found in this great town. For a romantic night out on your luxury hotel vacation, visit the 1776 Steakhouse, which has a traditional, classic atmosphere. A more casual atmosphere can be found at Big Fish Grill, which has a ultra sophisticated menu and wine bar, but has a casual, kitschy atmosphere. For extra fun, sign up for cooking classes while on your Rehoboth Beach luxury hotel vacation. Luxury hotel guests who are beer lovers will enjoy the fun and frivolity of Dogfish Head. Visit on a weekend and you will be treated to live music from popular local bands. Rehoboth Beach is unfussy and unpretentious: luxury hotel guests will find a nice mix of sophistication and simplicity on the busy, friendly streets of Rehoboth Beach. Always interesting, and always relaxing, the beautiful seaside town of Rehoboth Beach is perfect for a unique luxury hotel vacation.
