A chic coastal escape just outside New York City, the Hamptons offer beach bliss, art galleries, luxurious stays, and a farm-to-table food scene that embraces both elegance and nature.

About Hamptons
The Hamptons, a collection of upscale seaside towns on Long Island’s South Fork, are renowned for their pristine beaches, white-shingled mansions, and vibrant cultural scene. From surf-friendly shores to serene yoga sessions, from local farm markets to fine-dining hotspots, the Hamptons perfectly blend sophistication and tranquillity. It's a favourite summer retreat for city dwellers looking to unwind amidst natural beauty and understated luxury.
My Experience
Our two days in the Hamptons felt like a breezy summer dream. We checked into Gurney’s Montauk and spent the afternoon lounging on the private beach. Dinner at Jean-Georges was a flavourful farm-to-table experience. On the second day, we explored Montauk Lighthouse, sipped wine at a nearby vineyard, and joined a beachfront yoga session at sunrise. The atmosphere was relaxed yet refined, with art galleries and coastal charm around every corner.
