Mackinac Is a True Michigan Gem

Ranked Travel + Leisure’s #1 island in the Continental U.S., there’s a reason 1,000,000 annual visitors make the island their vacation destination. 

Try kayaking, sunset boat cruises, or a round of golf on fairways you’ll never forget. Explore 70 miles of hiking and biking trails, historic forts, and the island’s Victorian cottages.

Experience What Sets Mission Point Apart

Set on 18 breezy lakefront acres, Mission Point Resort has it all—six restaurants, award-winning gardens, the island’s largest spa, and dog-friendly accommodations.

Exquisite Dining
Savor farm-to-ferry cuisine at Chianti, Mediterranean-inspired dishes at Bistro on the Greens, and classic Michigan flavors at Round Island Kitchen. Each setting pairs breathtaking views with thoughtful, seasonal menus.

The Island’s Largest Full-Service Spa & Wellness
Unwind at the Lakeside Spa & Salon, offering massage, facials, and Aveda treatments. Yoga classes on the promenade deck are the perfect way to start your day with movement and fresh air.

Curated Culinary Experiences
Join intimate mixology sessions, hands-on pasta classes, and specialty dinners designed by Mission Point’s award-winning chefs—each a celebration of craft and flavor.

The Gardens at Mission Point
Stroll through Mackinac’s only Proven Winners® Signature Garden. From the tranquil Night Garden to the expansive Great Lawn, every path invites reflection and discovery.
