Formerly known as Baron’s Cove and reopening this June under a new moniker, Faraway is the fresh hotel to know. (The property itself has a rich history: Since the 1950s, it has attracted a glamorous artistic literary crowd including Truman Capote, Jackson Pollock, and Kurt Vonnegut.)
While many Hamptons hotels lean into a bright and beachy clapboard aesthetic, Faraway—located in the historic whaling town of Sag Harbor–embraces the nautical, much like its predecessor: shell-shaped accents and moody shades of aqua feature heavily in the design, which was created in partnership with Jenny Bukovec Studio. Many of its 67 guest rooms will boast a harbor view, inviting you to wake up and gaze upon the sailboats.

In terms of offerings, EHP Resort has plenty—there’s a swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a marina for those traveling in via boat. (Although guests without one can still get out on the water: There are kayaks, paddle-boards, as well as boats available to charter.) The only lodging choice at EHP is cottages, which makes it perfect for families or those looking for more homey accommodations. A gift shop, meanwhile, carries beachy homewares and designer dresses.
Then there’s Sí Sí, the buzzy waterfront restaurant that, thanks to its unparalleled sunset views, has become one of the hardest reservations to get in the Hamptons. For more casual daytime fare, go to Buongiorno. The breakfast café serves buttery croissants and sandwiches perfect for the beach.
