Exclusive Villa with NYC Harbor & Skyline Views

Sleep under the stars with the NYC skyline in the background. Your luxe tent sits on peaceful Governors Island—just a short ferry ride from Manhattan, but it feels like a world away. Sip wine by the fire pit, wake to birdsong and harbor breeze, and spend your day lounging in a hammock or biking the island. With a plush bed, private deck, and access to curated dining, this isn’t camping—it’s an unforgettable NYC escape, reimagined.
A private villa on a car-free island, with panoramic skyline views and the Statue of Liberty just outside your window? Yes, it’s real—and it’s waiting for you. The Outlook Villa is Collective Retreats' most exclusive stay: a glass-encased sanctuary that blends the feel of a designer loft with the serenity of a remote nature escape—all just 8 minutes from Manhattan. Whether you're celebrating, reconnecting, or simply unplugging in style, this is one NYC experience you’ll never forget.
