Small-Town Sophistication
Though just 90 minutes from New York City, the Hamptons feels 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, including Sag Harbor, Water Mill, Montauk, and Bridgehampton. Southampton is both the oldest and the largest of the villages that make up the Hamptons, with many people calling the area home year-round. Now a sophisticated and coveted retreat, the village’s oceanfront roads lead to some of the best beaches on the east coast. Fill your days with trips to vineyards, visits to quiet beaches with calms waters, outings to exclusive gyms, and reservations for farm-to-table cuisine and hand-crafted cocktails.
