Warm weather has arrived, and for New Yorkers, that means it’s time to head to the Hamptons. The white linens are out, the beach umbrellas are up, the lobster rolls are buttered, and the rosé is already flowing. Moreover, this year, the Hamptons has a plethora of new happenings to accompany its classics.

The storied summer playground has been a bastion of low-key luxury since the Long Island Rail Road began service to East Hampton and Montauk in 1895. From stylish hotels and lively restaurants to outposts of Madison Avenue’s best shops and a flourishing wellness scene, here’s your guide to the best of the Hamptons this season.

Where to Stay in the Hamptons

EHP Resort & Marina

Since opening last May, EHP has been one of the most popular destinations in the Hamptons, largely due to its vibrant waterfront restaurant, Si Si. However, the accommodations are equally appealing. Guests can choose between individual cottages or the Harbor House, which features single rooms and two- and three-bedroom suites. Each option showcases chic decor and Acqua di Parma bath products. Other highlights include a tennis court, pool, fitness center, and the all-day café. Buongiorno.

The Roundtree, Amagansett

Although it’s one of the Hamptons’ most stylish new hotels, set in a prime location in Amagansett, there’s nothing ostentatious about The Roundtree. With just 15 rooms and cottages, the property feels much like home. While there is no full-service restaurant here (though a continental breakfast is served in the courtyard each morning), it attracts city dwellers who seek a comfortable remote working environment. When it’s time to take a break, guests can enjoy yard games, grab a beach cruiser, or sit by the outdoor fire for nightly s’mores.

Shou Sugi Ban House

Shou Sugi Ban House is the Hamptons’ first dedicated wellness retreat, offering holistic programs designed to refresh even the most exhausted New Yorker. This private three-acre sanctuary features 13 guest studios, a spa with hydrotherapy pools and a roof deck, a fitness center, an organic vegetable garden, a library, and a Healing Arts Barn. This season, it is introducing aerial yoga and a vegan supper series with plant-based meals crafted by the Michelin-starred ex-Noma chef, Mads Refslund.

Marram Montauk

“Barefoot luxury” is how this low-key Montauk hotel describes itself, and many would agree. The main draw is its prime location right on the beach, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic. There are 96 rooms, most of which face the ocean, in addition to a pool, sun loungers on the sand, and an all-day outdoor restaurant serving healthy, modern American fare. Naturally, surfing plays a significant part in Marram’s culture, with seasoned instructors offering lessons for those eager to catch some waves.

Where to Eat and Drink in the Hamptons

Si Si

Si Si boasts a delightful atmosphere with scrumptious Mediterranean food, excellent cocktails, and a prime location on Three Mile Harbor overlooking the marina. The menu, presented as a culinary masterpiece, features seasonal produce, pastas, seafood, and entrees to please every palate. Don’t miss the raw scallops with blood orange, the crispy duck and melon salad, or the large-format paella.

Sant Ambroeus

Sant Ambroeus will unveil its first East Hampton location this summer, occupying the space formerly occupied by Babette’s on Newton Lane. It will open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, presenting the same cherished Milanese cuisine that attracts visitors to its Southampton, New York City, and Palm Beach locations.

Sunset Harbor

Similar to its sister restaurant, Si Si, Sunset Harbor features a stunning waterfront location adorned with decorative elements sourced from Morocco and Greece. Guests can enjoy live music, family-style sharing plates, creative cocktails, and indulgent desserts. Signature dishes include shrimp scampi with fresh crab and lemon butter; mussel cazuela with coconut broth, leeks, and chorizo; and lighter bites of sushi and nigiri.

Le Bilboquet

Le Bilboquet has become a staple in the Hamptons, now open year-round. This chic bistro, located near the marina off Sag Harbor’s main stretch, exudes a Saint-Tropez ambiance with attentive service and glistening yachts along the waterfront. Known for its Cajun chicken, the menu also features time-honored classics such as bouillabaisse, steak frites, and Caesar salad, along with an exceptional raw bar.

Enchanté

Another summer opening from the same group behind EHP is Enchanté, a modern Parisian-inspired bistro. Classic French dishes like Niçoise salad, escargot, and duck frites will be served in a stylish glass-enclosed space that includes an outdoor patio. Additionally, there will be a bar and semi-private dining room, ideal for larger groups and events.

Little Ruby’s at Ruschmeyer’s

Well-known Australian cafe Little Ruby’s is taking over Ruschmeyer’s food and beverage program. Helmed by acclaimed chef Angelo Womack, the restaurant now serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, offering favorites from its urban locations, like avocado toast and crispy rice salad, alongside locally sourced seafood and a special pizza menu exclusive to this outpost.

Where to Shop in the Hamptons

Gucci

Gucci’s boutique on Newton Lane is a haven for summer style inspiration, featuring a lively collection that includes men’s and women’s ready-to-wear items, shoes, bags, childrenswear, decor, jewelry, accessories, and Gucci’s beauty line. If you’re looking to elevate your wardrobe, the shop offers an array of stylish pieces to enhance your ensemble, including raffia bucket hats, printed scarves with iconic interlocking Gs, classic bamboo-handle bags, and a selection of white tennis sneakers.

Nordstrom Pop-Up

From now through Labor Day, Nordstrom is hosting a pop-up at 395 County Road in Southampton, featuring an array of summer essentials such as men’s and women’s swimwear, clothing, shoes, and various beauty and lifestyle products. The pop-up will also provide on-site alterations, gift wrapping, and same-day delivery anywhere in the Hamptons — a handy service if you accidentally forget your swimsuit and beach towel back in the city.

Aerin

For elegant host gifts, Aerin has you covered with a collection that includes decor, games, fragrances, fashion, and accessories. You can find traditional items such as scented candles, picture frames, or Champagne flutes. For those seeking something more extravagant, stunning chess and poker sets embossed with shagreen and suede lining are available.

Goop

Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s esteemed lifestyle brand, features a stylish boutique in Sag Harbor offering wellness essentials, books, homewares, fashion, and clean beauty products from beloved brands like Dr. Barbara Sturm, Augustinus Bader, and Westman Atelier. It also sells Goop favorites such as restorative vitamins, wardrobe staples from G. Label, and chic cookware collections.

You can pick up inflatable flamingos, puzzles, or arts and crafts kits to keep young ones entertained. The shop also offers a variety of high-quality children’s clothing, swimwear, shoes, and accessories.

Fitness, Wellness, and Beauty in Hamptons

DanceBody

DanceBody is known for being one of the most enjoyable workouts in the area, featuring high-energy instructors and fantastic music. This season, it will operate classes at a pop-up location in the Hamptons and is introducing a children’s program for ages six to ten, aimed at enhancing rhythm, coordination, and self-confidence. DanceBody will also offer private in-home sessions for those looking to learn new dance moves, should you wish to enjoy a TikTok dance lesson.

FaceGym Pop-Up at SoulCycle

Given that it serves celebrities before awards season and supermodels pre-Fashion Week, it’s no surprise FaceGym is making its way to the Hamptons this summer. Its muscle-manipulating techniques provide instant facial sculpting that will leave you looking rejuvenated. The signature “workouts” — which include a sculpt session, cryo contour, and medi lift, alongside a menu of glow-inducing boosters — will be available from a pop-up at SoulCycle in Bridgehampton.

Ject

This boutique cosmetic spa offers medical-grade skin treatments, injectables, and non-invasive skin enhancers within a luxurious space in Bridgehampton. For individuals interested in botox or fillers, Ject employs expert providers trained to deliver natural-looking enhancements in a comfortable atmosphere. Additionally, the spa features popular facials utilizing custom blends of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants for a soothing experience.

Tracy Anderson

Tracy Anderson’s high-energy workouts are renowned for delivering fast, effective results. Her method combines cardio with repetitive conditioning, specifically targeting smaller muscle groups for maximum effect. With fans like Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, and Madonna, you may encounter some familiar faces as you enjoy your workouts this summer.
