Hamptons

LVH’s luxury vacation rentals in the Hamptons are located in some of the region’s most prestigious and picturesque neighborhoods. From seaside hamlets to timeless villages, each destination reflects the unique allure of the Hamptons—where refinement, history and relaxation converge.

When staying in the Hamptons, be sure to visit the following eight areas:

Amagansett

This refined coastal village blends understated elegance with natural serenity. Miles of rolling dunes and quiet shores, like Indian Wells Beach, create a peaceful atmosphere.

The area’s charming Main Street and beautifully designed homes, such as Villa Mariah, make Amagansett ideal for guests seeking exclusivity, privacy and the comforts of a beautiful property.

Bridgehampton

Bridgehampton celebrates equestrian heritage and the art of slow living. Its landscape is dotted with elegant estates, vibrant stables, and sun-drenched fields.

Villa Darla, a beachfront masterpiece, offers an infinity pool, spa-style suites, and panoramic views—perfect for a great stay in August in Bridgehampton or beyond.

East Hampton

East Hampton is a coastal haven for creatives and tastemakers. From premier boutiques to award-winning restaurants, the village exudes sophisticated seaside charm.

With exclusive beaches like Georgica and Wiborg nearby, properties like Villa Priscilla provide a luxurious base complete with a private gym, movie theater and yoga studio.

Montauk

Montauk brings barefoot energy and oceanfront vitality to the Hamptons. Surfboards, beach cruisers and salty breezes set the tone.

By day, unwind by the sea; by night, enjoy a thriving dining and nightlife scene that has grown into something truly storied—relaxation with a pulse.

Sag Harbor

Cultural and quietly chic, Sag Harbor is the intellectual soul of the Hamptons. Independent galleries, an art deco cinema, and literary cafés create an inspiring atmosphere.

Bask in radiant sunsets or dine along the water. Villa Alexa reflects this artistic allure with elegant design and a setting that’s as welcoming as it is refined.

Southampton

Southampton and East Hampton have long been cultural anchors of the region. Southampton, in particular, has inspired legendary artists and writers.

From the studios of Pollock and Lichtenstein to the historic village streets, the town offers timeless beauty and vibrant history. Villa Filomena stands as a prime example of refined living.

Water Mill

Known for its galleries and natural beauty, Water Mill is ideal for families and art lovers alike. Its beaches—like Flying Point and The Cut—offer scenic tranquility.

Stay at Villa Zarina for pool house elegance and access to both coastal relaxation and cultural sophistication, just moments from the sea.

Westhampton Beach

Low-key and nostalgic, Westhampton Beach feels like a step back in time—in the best way. The village has a lively arts scene and an easy, relaxed energy.

Its proximity to New York makes it a favorite weekend retreat. Villa Amelia, with direct beach access, invites you to make the Hamptons feel like your own.

Some of the finest restaurants on the East Coast are located in the Hamptons. Dine in style while renting a luxury mansion or villa with LVH. Here are five of our favorite eateries:

Almond

Almond is often known for attracting locals, celebrities and tourists who enjoy locally sourced, fresh and artisanal cuisine. Expect to find everything from Korean-style short ribs to mac and cheese with prosciutto and shaved Umbrian truffles.

Cowfish

Those wanting a bountiful choice from land or sea should try Cowfish. The seared Ahi tuna is always a favorite; however, save room for dessert since the skillet cookie with vanilla ice cream is a must.

Highway

For an elevated dining experience with zero pretense, Highway is the place. The focus is on classic American food with delicious signature dishes like the steamed pork buns filled with a healthy slice of pork belly, served with spicy red cabbage slaw.

Nick & Toni's

This fine dining establishment has the air of an old farmhouse in Tuscany. Nick & Toni's sources ingredients from local farmers and fishermen for savory, rustic Italian and Mediterranean dishes. The wood-roasted mussels come highly recommended.

Stone Creek Inn

Much of the cuisine at the Stone Creek Inn is French-inspired. The dining experience is memorable with choices such as oven-roasted halibut, rack of lamb with Mediterranean spice and braised Montauk lobster with baby vegetables.

The Hamptons has a vibrant and healthy arts scene. Here are five top arts venues visitors can investigate:

Bay Street Theater

If taking in a terrific live production is on your itinerary, the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor is the "it" place. CBS Sunday Morning called it one of the country's preeminent regional theaters.

Dan Flavin Art Institute

The work of light artist Dan Flavin is front and center at the Dan Flavin Art Institute. This modernist pioneer revolutionized the use of fluorescent light as an art form. His "situations," as he called them, manipulate space.

Flavin arranged colored lights in corners, corridors and across walls to reshape volumetric boundaries, subtly shifting color gradients and creating immersive environments. The glow washes over walls and floors, softening edges and redefining spatial context .Flavin has been named one of the most important visual artists of the 20th century.

Guild Hall

This cultural cornerstone has been a part of the Hamptons since 1931. The museum mounts between eight and 10 exhibitions a year, focusing on artists affiliated with the area. Visiting Guild Hall with its jewel-box proscenium theater and fine-art galleries should be on everyone's to-do list while visiting the Hamptons.

Hauser & Wirth

This by-appointment-only gallery recently opened its new 5,000-square-foot space in Southampton. Many art collectors are enticed by the number of well-known artists, such as Pipilotti Rist and Jenny Holzer, whose works can be found here.

Parrish Art Museum

The Parrish Art Museum is home to awe-inspiring collections. The world's most important collections of works by the preeminent American Impressionist William Merritt Chase and the groundbreaking post-war American realist painter Fairfield Porter can be viewed here.

Nightlife in the Hamptons can be quite the scene as popular places fill up quickly. LVH recommends checking out these three venues as great places for nightlife when wanting a little excitement after dark away from your Hampton villa:

Gurney's Beach Club

This club is replete with breezy beachside cabanas, a nautical-striped outdoor bar, and an influencer-styled crowd getting down to a live DJ. As they say, Gurney's during peak season is peak Montauk.

The Surf Lodge

Here, partiers will feel the sand beneath their toes as they take sunset pics over Fort Pond, hear live music and run into a dizzying array of beautiful people. The Surf Lodge is one of the most well-known hotspots in all of Montauk.

The Stephen Talkhouse

The Stephen Talkhouse has weathered years of history – 50 to be exact. It has been touted as Long Island's best live music club and brings scores of A-list performers to Amagansett. VIP tables can be reserved for most shows.

There is never a shortage of things happening in the Hamptons with something for everyone's tastes. Even its periphery is home to one of sports’ most monumental tournaments: late summer’s US Open is 90 minutes away in Queens.

These four are among the most popular events in the Hamptons:

Great South Bay Music Festival

The Great South Bay Music Festival in Long Island is the largest, longest-running four-day music, art and cultural event. More than 60 performers on four stages present legends and local emerging artists in classic rock, jazz, jam-band, country, folk, zydeco, hip hop and funk.

Polo Hamptons

People who enjoy sports and horses might wish to spend an exciting afternoon at Polo Hamptons. You will enjoy the thrill of a polo match with preferred seating and a VIP cocktail party. You will also have access to an open bar paired with hors d'oeuvres.

The Hamptons Classic Horse Show

One of the largest outdoor horse shows in the United States; the Hamptons Classic Horse Show is a premier destination for horse enthusiasts and a much-anticipated stop on the summer tour for competitors. In addition to watching world-class equestrian riders, you can enjoy more than 80 onsite shops and delectable international food options.

Westhampton Beach Festival of the Arts

Attendees at the Westhampton Beach Festival of the Arts can explore an extraordinary outdoor gallery of original artwork in such mediums as sculpture, jewelry, painting, photography, glass, ceramics, mixed-media, metalwork, fiber art, woodworking and more. Artists with works found in the top private and public art collections in the nation are on hand.

There's more to the Hamptons than the beach and great restaurants. Check out one of the many nature preserves like the Quogue Wildlife Refuge and antique shops not far away. Here are two exciting things to do while visiting the Hamptons:

Wine tastings/Winery

Connoisseurs of fine wine would savor a personalized and private tour of some of the best wineries the Hamptons have to offer. Take in wineries such as the magnificent Wollfer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack and smaller vineyards such as Channing Daughter, where wine offerings are no less stellar.

Montauk Point Lighthouse

Climb to the top of the oldest lighthouse in New York state for the magnificent view. Make sure to bring a camera to capture the magical moments. After that long climb to the top, there are plenty of swinging benches to relax and watch the scenery before heading back to your villa in the Hamptons.

The Sweet Trail

One of the most delightful ways to explore the Hamptons is by following its “sweet trail”—a relaxed journey through artisanal bakeries, ice cream parlors, and chocolate shops. From the nostalgic charm of Tate’s Bake Shop in Southampton to the curated confections at Levain Bakery, this trail is a tribute to the area’s thoughtful, slow-living culture.

Art Galleries and Open Studios

The Hamptons have long been a haven for artists. Discover rotating exhibitions at the Parrish Art Museum or stop by open studio days in East Hampton and Sag Harbor, where you can meet local creators and view one-of-a-kind pieces in intimate settings.

Sailing and Yacht Charters

For those seeking luxury on the water, private yacht charters and sunset sails offer a glamorous way to explore the coastline. Cruise past historic mansions and hidden coves or arrange for a bespoke onboard dinner with curated wine pairings.

Farmers’ Markets and Culinary Tours

Savor the freshness of local produce at weekly farmers’ markets in Amagansett and Bridgehampton. For a curated experience, book a farm-to-table culinary tour with a private chef who will guide you through seasonal flavors and Hamptons-grown delicacies.
