Why the Island Inn Fitness Room Works for Your Routine

The setting blends colonial character with modern comfort, creating a calm, intimate atmosphere that’s ideal for focused workouts and unhurried recovery.

The fitness room is part of the hotel’s on‑site amenities, alongside a swimming pool, guest lounge, and dining at The Boardwalk Restaurant.

How to blend beach and gym time

• Cool down in the pool: Use gentle laps or a short float to unwind tired legs after your session.
• Refuel smart: Head to The Boardwalk Restaurant for a hot breakfast post‑workout, or time your training to finish just before afternoon tea.
