Gurney's Montauk Seawater Spa & Resort unveils luxe revamps, partnerships for 2025
There's summer in the Hamptons — and then there's summer at Gurney's Montauk Seawater Spa & Resort, where sun-drenched sophistication meets peak scene-stealing glam. Set on a dramatic bluff with panoramic Atlantic views, this East End icon doesn't just offer luxury, it guarantees a spot at the most coveted beach party around. And this year, the Hamptons property is seriously upping its game, courtesy of a splashy culinary revamp, a socialite's spa takeover, a designer beach pop-up and some very photogenic Cadillacs that provide the ultimate prop for an enviable Father's Day TikTok vid. 6 Gurney's Montauk is perched on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic.

Picture a riot of iconic Majolica prints and bold Sicilian-styled hues enveloping loungers, cabanas and umbrellas, all complementing the whites, blues and creams of the crashing waves, the sand and the endless skies. Should you forget to pack your jet-setter's caftan or canvas tote, worry not: Gurney's is also welcoming a pop-up D&G boutique with all the summery essentials a Beach Bunny requires. 6 The new Gigi's Montauk will serve culinary delights in a stunning dining room and patio.

(Those abs aren't going to crunch themselves!) Treat yourself to a full post-sweat restoration at Seawater Spa, the recently renovated 30,000-square-foot wellness destination, featuring a hydrotherapy circuit, hot and cold water therapies and a seawater-fed indoor pool. This summer, Gurney's will tap Irene Forte Skincare for its facial treatments, an LVMH-backed organic line founded by the daughter of hotel mogul Sir Rocco Forte. Her customizable 90-minute facial incorporates Forte's science-forward skin care and includes a deep cleanse, a mask and a lymphatic massage. It's basically a vacation for your face.

Together they're whipping up elevated coastal American cuisine with serious global bona fides. Order the 1½ lb. Angry Lobster, a smoky-spicy showstopper with chili, cayenne and Aleppo pepper on grilled Tuscan bread, and the Giant Shrimp Scampi, baked and laced with lemongrass-infused mayo.

All the New Restaurants Opening in the Hamptons This Summer
Part of the joy of heading East in the summer is discovering new dining spots that have popped up since last year. Some old favorites may be gone or relocated, but it's exciting to see what incoming chefs are creating with the produce from nearby farms and fresh catch from local fishermen. Here's what's new or changing this summer in the Hamptons for 2025. Montauk Bagatelle 500 West Lake Drive at Town Road One of the most legendary East End dining wharves, Gosman's, which first opened as a stand on the Montauk docks in 1943, and grew in to a large waterfront location in the 1970s, has been taken over by French Mediterranean restaurant, Bagatelle. Perhaps spurred on by the overwhelming success of the Saint-Tropez vibe at Le Bilboquet's waterfront outpost in Sag Harbor, the international brand known for its Bacchanalian brunches no longer had a New York location until this renaissance, which will debut in June. Mary Lou's 474 West Lake Drive at Town Road Mary Lou's, another clubbish spot that opened in Palm Beach this year, focusing on small bites, cocktails, and dancing, has also found a home in Montauk. The theme is '70s and '80s extravagance, so wagyu burgers and caviar towers join seafood on the menu. Gigi's at Gurney's 290 Old Montauk Highway at Maple Street Much of the new action in Montauk is centered around the hotel scene. After years of Scarpetta occupying the main dining space at Gurney's, the famed resort will unveil a new restaurant, Gigi's, in mid-June. The room with oversized windows providing an expansive ocean view will now focus on steak and seafood. Ruschmeyers Beach Grill 161 Second House Road at Midland Road Ruschmeyers's Puertos Rican-inspired Placebo is no more, and in its place is Ruschmeyers Beach Grill, the hotel's coastal restaurant, with such items as monkfish tail au poivre and spaghetti with lobster. Sea Salt at Sole East 90 Second House Road at S. Elroy Drive Melissa O'Donnell, former executive chef at Duryea's, is taking the helm of Sea Salt, a new Mediterranean restaurant in Montauk's Sole East, where she will offer bouillabaisse, crab spaghetti, and monkfish in red wine reduction to visitors as well as hotel guests. East Hampton Swifty's at Hedges Inn 74 James Lane at Hook Pond Lane An East Hampton hotel is also making waves. Swifty's is back in the Northeast. After shuttering on the Upper East Side and having a rebirth in Palm Beach, it is taking over the indoor and outdoor dining space at the Hedges Inn, just across from the town's idyllic pond. Expect old classics like crab cakes and meatloaf, along with specials created from local ingredients. Wayan and Ma-De at EHP Resort and Marina 313 Three Mile Harbor Hog Creek Road, near Woodbine Drive Cedric and Ochi Vongerichten are getting a water view and dazzling sunsets, relocating their summer stint of Wayan and Ma-De to EHP Resort and Marina, where diners can even pull up in their boats. Vibrant French-Indonesian flavors enhance dishes like pork ribs with soy-tamarind glaze and sesame seeds; whole black sea bass with sambal tomat; and crab fried rice with kerupuk and cilantro. A sunset menu will offer oysters and other light bites. Camp Rubirosa 31 Race Lane, at Railroad Avenue Meanwhile, the Rubirosa team is co-opting the East Hampton space that Wayan and Ma-de had occupied last year, bringing Camp Rubirosa there for a summer stint. In addition to a range of pizzas and handmade pastas, entrees like chicken Parmigiano and local bass will be served. Crazy Pizza 47 Montauk Highway at Buckskill Road Those aren't the only artisanal pies debuting out east this summer. Crazy Pizza, with branches in Europe and the Middle East, and opened in Soho last fall, will come to East Hampton. Staff will parade through the dining room, spinning super-thin yeast-free crusts topped with everything from caviar to truffles. Southampton Fresh Direct 70 Main Street at Nugent Street Now you can go to Fresh Direct's door rather than it coming to yours. The mega-delivery service will have its first physical store right in the middle of Southampton's town center. Starting this week, it will sell everything from vegetables to wine. El Farm Market 101 Jobs Lane at Hill Street For more specific Mexican specialties, chef Julian Medina is opening up a gourmet shop next to his Southampton restaurant, El Verano. El Farm Market will sell guacamole and homemade chips, as well as serve caviar with a glass of bubbly on weekends from 6 to 7 p.m. Fenik's 75 Jobs Lane at Hill Street Chef Douglas Gulija, who ran Plaza Cafe for 30 years, will preside over Fenik's in Southampton, along with his cousin, Skip Norsic, beginning in June. The name is a nod to their Croatian ancestry. The spot will have a chef's counter starting at $250 with dishes such as corn panna cotta and escargot with herb risotto, as well as an a la carte menu on the ground floor, and smaller bites like surf-and-turf sliders in the upstairs lounge. Namiro 76C Jobs Lane at Hill Street Sushi aficionado and sake master Jesse Matsuoka (who is an owner of Sen and his Tip Top Hospitality Group, are behind Namiro, the new Asian-influenced spot that will have raw fish, as well as vegan rolls, and favorites like Korean fried chicken, and miso cod. Claude's at the Southampton Inn 91 Hill Street at First Neck Lane Matsuoka is also involved with the redo of Claude's at the Southampton Inn, which underwent a renovation and will now go from basic to more sophisticated international plates, such as tuna with dukkah and purple radish; risotto with peas, asparagus, poached egg, mint, and Parmesan; and halibut with Thai yellow curry and jasmine rice. There will still be burgers, but they will be wagyu with caramelized onions and Gruyere. Elsewhere Zoe 755 Montauk Highway at Locust Ave Membership dining has become so big in the city that it was inevitable it would spill over to the Hamptons. In June, chef Ralph Pagano, who appeared on the first season of Hell's Kitchen and hosted the series Pressure Cook on the Travel Channel, will take over a hundred-year-old farmhouse in Water Mill. He will convert it to a global spot, Zoe, where potential members pay a $2,500 fee for access to reservations and the family-friendly landscaped outdoor area with tents, and bocce. Donohue's 144 Main Street at Mill Road After 75 years, classic Upper East Side steakhouse Donohue's is expanding East. In late June, it will inhabit the space that housed the Post Stop Cafe, which was originally an old post office and still has the original tin ceilings. Look for the familiar steaks, chops, burgers, turkey dinners, salad, and seafood, along with weekly specials like shepherd's pie and meatloaf. Sign up for our newsletter.
