Luxury Mystic Holidays

Mystic is a charming little seaside village with a rich history as a whaling centre and shipbuilding port along the North Atlantic coast of Connecticut. The historic downtown offers much more than museums, boutiques, galleries and local eateries. A picture-perfect harbour with bright fishing vessels and smart yachts, the settlement is divided by the picturesque Mystic River, with a quaint old drawbridge connecting the two riverside districts together. Boating, kayaking, paddleboarding and river cruises along the tranquil waterways are popular activities for outdoor as well as leisure lovers. The planet’s last remaining wooden whaleship lies in the Mystic Seaport Museum, which was once known as the George Greenman & Co Shipyard. The Mystic Museum of Art and the Mystic Aquarium are also worth a visit. Did you know that B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill is the oldest steam-powered cider mill in the country? While you’re on the Mystic food trail, try a slice from the popular Mystic Pizza and take a tasting tour of the many wineries and breweries in and around town.
