The Hamptons

Few seaside holiday destinations are as world-renowned as the Hamptons. Consisting of a group of towns and communities along the East End of New York’s Long Island, its relaxed coastal feel, the abundance of leisure activities, and fine dining options have made it the go-to summer spot for New York’s elite since the mid 20th century.

It’s also the birthplace of the iconic ‘Hamptons home’. This luxury architectural style is recognizable by its pristine white weatherboard facade, grand columns, ox-eye windows, and a spacious outdoor lounge area equipped with a pool.

Interiors of these iconic homes often boast fine timber floorboards, marble accents and plush furnishing. New residents may be inclined to put a contemporary spin on this classic style to create their own luxury coastal home.
