Beach Insider: Montauk

Beach Insider: Montauk

Skip the Crowds at This Summer Getaway in The Hamptons

by Tyler Aposhian, General Manager of Ruschmeyers Hotel

With 5,000 acres of beaches and parks to explore, Montauk has long been a go-to island getaway for nearby New Yorkers seeking an escape from the city hustle. Head to this east coast paradise to experience the natural coastal beauty of the Hamptons, minus the crowds.

Best Beach

Typically I love the waves and enjoy hopping in at Kirk Beach (which is the first beach you hit when you come into town). However, things can get a little too busy there during the summer months. Other options are Ditch Plains Beach, a great place to catch a wave. Camp Hero State Park is great for fishing and wandering around.

Eat, Drink, Repeat

Montauket hotel and seafood restaurant is the spot for watching sunsets all summer long. Tuna melts at The Dock are a must.

Overnighter

I don't think much beats Ruschmeyers on Friday nights. After a sun-filled day at the beach, grab a Ruschmeyers cocktail (fresh watermelon juice, jalapeño and vodka), a hot-buttered lobster roll and sit under the lights in the magic garden. Play some ping pong, take a picture by the campfire and feel like a kid at camp again.

Long time no see, waldorfastorianyc. 👋🏻 After closing its doors for a top-to-bottom restoration in 2017, the iconic New York City hotel is finally unveiling its glamorous next chapter. Every aspect of the property has been reimagined for a new era—but the design stays true to the opulent Art Deco architecture, style, and craftsmanship that made the hotel one of the most famous in the world when it opened nearly a century ago. Safe to say we’ll be booking a stay ASAP.

Mentally, we’re here. 😍 nourelnil may just have the prettiest boats on the water, well, anywhere. The traditional dahabiya-style riverboats, with their iconic red-and-white striped sails, jewel box cabins, and oasis-like upper decks, also happen to be one of the best ways to experience the most iconic river in the world: the Nile.

The company’s five-night Luxor to Aswan cruise hits archeological sites like the Greco-Roman temple dedicated to Horus in Edfu, the ancient stone quarries at Gebel Silsileh, and the temple of Kom Ombo. Consider it added to our bucket list.

A trip to Napa is always a good idea. 🍷😍 And you’d be hard-pressed to find a hotel with a better view of Napa’s rolling vineyards than poetryinnnapa. Perched on a hill high above Napa Valley, the property feels secluded, but is just minutes from Yountville and some of the region’s best wineries (and their team can also get you into some of the best crush parties of the season). With just five spacious suites—each subtly themed after a famous poet—Poetry Inn is as charming as it is luxurious.

Safari, but make it chic. 🐘 These two stunning new safari outposts — Masiya’s Camp at royalmalewane in South Africa and Serengeti House at singta_ Grumeti in Tanzania — are leveling up the game. And, they’re perfect for those of us who want to get close to the outdoors, but can’t go without creature comforts (and killer decor).

What makes for the perfect long-weekend getaway destination? In our opinion, it’s three things: walkability, a great mix of culture and nature, and easy access to an airport. (And, let’s be honest, a great boutique hotel or two doesn't hurt.) These five destinations certainly fit that bill—and are the perfect places to head to if you don’t have Labor Day Weekend plans. ✈️

A remote safari camp on Canada’s Vancouver Island, Clayoquot is every luxury-loving adventurer’s dream. Hike through a towering 400-year-old forest, canoe through the winding waterways of Bedwell Sound—watching for orcas and sea lions as you paddle—zip through canyons on e-bikes, take a plunge in crystal-clear glacial rivers, and then come back to camp for gourmet meals, outstanding spa treatments, and much more.

The Swiss Alps are always a good idea, and so is a summertime stay at thechediandermatt. ⛰️🇨🇭 Cool off by spending days in a private fly-fishing lesson, taking a James Bond–inspired spin around the Furka Pass (where the iconic driving scenes in “Goldfinger” were filmed 61 years ago), or simply soaking up views of the Alps from the property’s stunning pool.
