How to Spend the Perfect Weekend in the Hamptons


When New York City's buzz and fuss feel like too much to handle, plan a weekend getaway in the delightful Hamptons. Not by chance a major hotspot for celebrities, the area shelters small villages and hamlets under its wing that will win you over through their rustic yet luxurious charm, providing countless opportunities for an enjoyable stay, fine dining experience, and entertaining activities.

CHOOSE A PLACE TO LAY OVER

No matter if you plan a more indoor or outdoor weekend, nice accommodation is crucial for any perfect getaway. For a premium experience, choose Gurney’s Montauk Resort and Seawater Spa or Gurney’s Star Island for their on-site restaurants and bars, providing a complete set of guest services. Choose The Roundtree hotel for more authentic but still stylish accommodation. Loosen up at Shou Sugi Ban House, a veritable sanctuary completed with a spa center, hydrotherapy pools, a roof deck, a fitness center, a bio vegetable garden, a well-equipped library for voracious readers, and a Healing Arts Barn. You cannot go wrong with any of these options.

WINE TOURING

The Hamptons are famous for their wineries, so save at least one day for a special wine tour. As drinking and driving are no match, book our professional car service and plan a guided tour, including the most famous vineyards, such as the ones from Southampton, Sag Harbor, Shelter Island, or the North Folk Long Island Wineries. Our well-mannered chauffeurs will patiently wait for you to enjoy a glass of wine while listening to live music at Duck Walk Vineyard. They will get you on time to discover the birthplace of the rosé wine at Wolffer Estate - dating back from 1988; it has a beautiful outdoor setting, elegantly welcoming its guests to enjoy walks, picnics, and live performances while serving exquisite wines, ciders, and spirits.

THE BEST CUISINE

A fine dining experience completes the perfect setting of your weekend getaway. Dive into the Mediterranean atmosphere at Si Si Restaurant, enjoying a master plate of pasta, seafood, seasonal meals or pretentious appetizers while sipping one of their creative cocktails. Try signature dishes such as shrimp scampi or mussel cazuela at Sunset Harbor Restaurant while being entertained by live artists and watching the sunset over the infinite lake. Picture yourself in France when having dinner at Le Bilboquet: this chic bistro screaming Saint Tropez vibes will make you feel like a partying billionaire when playing cool music performed by live DJs, serving well-done Cajun Chicken and overlooking the perfectly aligned yachts throughout the harbor.

SHOPPING

Talking about the good life, shopping in the Hamptons is a one-of-a-kind experience that you must try. Visit the Gucci Boutique on Newton’s Lane and elevate your style by choosing chic items imprinted with the iconic Gs logo. If you were not planning a day at the beach but suddenly feel like it, don’t be discouraged: hit Nordstrom Pop-Up and pick up a fashionable swimwear outfit. They will treat you like royalty and promptly deliver your shopping list anywhere in the Hamptons. At the end, for perpetuating this marvelous weekend experience, don’t forget to pick up a souvenir for your house from the exquisite Aerin shop.

MOUNTAUK LIGHTHOUSE

The surroundings are so sublime that you must enjoy a full 360-degree experience from the top of the Mountauk Lighthouse. Commissioned by President George Washington and constructed in 1796, this historic landmark was the first lighthouse in New York State to keep up with the times; its walls currently host numerous events and festivals. Climb the 137 iron steps to the top and enjoy the stunning view over the Atlantic Ocean, with its blue waves and unsteady waters. We promise it is worth the effort.

The Hamptons is the quintessential destination for a long and relaxing weekend during any season. Its small towns, beautiful wineries, and charming hotels will make you feel welcome, so plan your trip and call us to book the perfect car for the occasion. Our luxurious fleet is ready to accommodate all your friends into one of our spacious group vehicles. Surprise your significant other by booking a lavish limo and have a romantic weekend getaway. No matter what you choose, our courteous chauffeurs will drive you safely and in style, so you can feel relaxed, recharged, and ready for the upcoming week.
