A Weekend of Words & Wonder: Inside Our Upcoming Luxury Literary Retreat in Newport

We believe home is more than an address — it’s a feeling, an experience, and often, a beautifully told story. That’s why we’re proud to spotlight something truly extraordinary happening this fall through our sister brand, The Book Club by Edge Escapes: a Luxury Literary Retreat in Newport, Rhode Island.

From October 17–19, 2025, twenty book lovers, aesthetes, and seekers of meaningful travel will come together for an intimate, elevated weekend steeped in literature, gourmet dining, and historic elegance. If you’ve ever dreamed of blending five-star travel with your favorite novels, this is your moment.


Literature Meets Luxury

Set against the coastal beauty and Gilded Age architecture of Newport, Rhode Island, the retreat includes exclusive sessions with bestselling authors, guided discussions, and private access to some of the region’s most iconic experiences — including a private trolley tour and a visit to the Breakers Mansion.

Each day is designed to be immersive yet relaxed, balancing indulgence with insight. Think: late-morning author brunches, curated book conversations over afternoon tea, and unforgettable evening dinners with literary luminaries.


A Taste of Newport

Guests will enjoy a series of chef-curated meals, from decadent coastal brunches to multi-course dinners at hand-selected local gems. Every bite is meant to reflect the region’s seasonal richness, while every setting is crafted to inspire conversation and connection.


More Than a Getaway — A Curated Escape

What sets this retreat apart is not just its exclusivity (only 20 seats available), but its intention. This is for those who value beautifully told stories, crave depth in their travel experiences, and understand the luxury of slowing down in good company. It’s a place to connect — with authors, with fellow readers, and with yourself.


Early Access for Our Community

As a valued member of the Edge Escapes Book Club, you receive exclusive early access to registration and a preferred rate of $2,400 during this private booking window. On May 20, any remaining spots will open to the general public at the full rate of $2,900.


Who It’s For

This retreat is perfect for you if:

  • You love meaningful conversation and travel with depth

  • You appreciate the art of a well-set table and a well-crafted sentence

  • You crave a weekend that balances elegance, inspiration, and relaxation

  • You believe in investing in experiences that stay with you
