Summer Getaway to the Hamptons

Montauk Yacht Club strikes a perfect balance between luxury and laid-back coastal charm. The recent renovation by Proper Hotels has preserved the club’s iconic nautical style while infusing it with modern sophistication. From the moment you arrive, the sweeping entryway and lush surroundings set the tone for a serene escape. The resort’s location near the Montauk train station makes it easily accessible, yet its secluded setting behind the greenery makes you feel miles a world away.

One of my favorite aspects of Montauk Yacht Club is its commitment to wellness. The property’s exclusive partnership with La Prairie elevates the spa experience to a new level of luxury. Treatments are held in two waterfront cabanas docked at the marina. This allows guests to enjoy the soothing sound of the water and gentle rocking of waves while indulging in world-class skincare. Beyond the spa, the resort offers a range of wellness amenities, including a gym, padel courts, and a private beach. Access includes stand up paddle boards and kids' equipment and games, all perfect for those looking to recharge both body and mind.

The on-site dining provides incredible waterfront views alongside delicious, locally-inspired cuisine. There are numerous lounge areas to enjoy the views or grab a drink from the bar. For those arriving by boat, the private marina offers an added touch of exclusivity. Montauk Yacht Club also makes a great base for exploring the Hamptons, with electric cars soon available for guests to venture into nearby Amagansett and East Hampton. Whether escaping the city for a quick and rejuvenating getaway, or basing yourself in the "end of the world" to experience the Hamptons with friends and family, Montauk Yacht Club is a stunning seaside haven you'll want to return to again and again.

This property is an excellent choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway, families looking for a relaxed vacation, or groups wanting a chic yet comfortable setting. The spacious rooms are complemented by cottages on the property that are ideal for larger groups and families who want a little more space.
