This summer, experience nature-forward hospitality without leaving the city. Collective Retreats Governors Island is now open for the 2025 season, inviting guests to unwind in the only overnight accommodations on the island—just a breezy 10-minute ferry ride from Lower Manhattan. Blending skyline views, curated programming, and sustainable design, this urban escape is redefining what it means to camp in New York City.

Sleep Sustainably in Style

Among the 29 thoughtfully designed accommodations is the Outlook Suite—a luxurious, eco-conscious tiny home created in partnership with Dvele, a leader in sustainable housing. Outfitted with floor to ceiling glass windows, a spa-inspired bathroom, and a complimentary mini bar stocked with cold brew, Oatly, kombucha, and more—plus a French press and kettle for your morning coffee or tea—the suite combines modern architecture with a deep commitment to environmental design. Collective Retreats also participates in Governors Island’s Earth Matter Zero Waste Initiative, making it a standout for mindful travelers.

Outdoor Play and Curated Programming

Anchored by the Great Lawn, the retreat features lawn games, hammocks, and communal fire pits, creating a playful, community-driven atmosphere. Daily programming includes yoga, live music, and seasonal activities, while the island itself offers miles of trails, historic landmarks, and access to QC NY Spa. Collective Retreats delivers a one-of-a-kind blend of comfort, nature, and connection.

Open through November, rates start at $249/night and include ferry service, breakfast, Wi-Fi in common areas, and access to curated experiences. To learn more and book your stay, visit CollectiveRetreats.com.
