The Hamptons, New York
The string of seaside villages and towns on Long Island’s South Fork known as the Hamptons have long been revered as a well-heeled summer destination. Inspirato offers two- and three-bedroom luxury residences within The Boathouses at Canoe Place, sitting along the scenic Shinnecock Canal in Hampton Bays. In all classically coastal residences, you’ll enjoy views of the canal, access to a pool deck with chaise lounges, a fitness center, proximity to beaches and charming villages, plus much more.
Small-Town Sophistication
Though just 90 minutes from New York City, the Hamptons feel like a world apart. A string of towns on Long Island, the Hamptons were formerly a group of farming villages that today offer an upscale escape for elite vacationers. World-class restaurants, elegant martini lounges, and a stretch of choice beaches attract discerning visitors from around the globe. Southampton and East Hampton are made up of many hamlets and villages, and Southampton is both the oldest and the largest of those villages. Fill your days with trips to vineyards, visits to quiet beaches with calm waters, and reservations for farm-to-table cuisine and handcrafted cocktails.
