The Sagaponack
Understated Hamptons luxury with a coastal-cool edge. Design-forward but never fussy — polished brass, bespoke furnishings, and Apotheke bath products rather than corporate hotel block. Less resort, more like staying at your stylish friend's summer house.
Book a bungalow if you have pets or kids — they come with private outdoor space and feel far more private than the studio and inn rooms.
Why It Matters
Gut-renovated boutique in ZIP code 11962 — the second most expensive in the country — that manages to feel genuinely relaxed. The combination of a heated saltwater plunge pool, complimentary beach locker service (chairs, umbrellas, coolers), free vintage and electric bikes, and weekly poolside movie nights gives it a summer-camp-meets-South-Fork feel that the bigger Hamptons properties rarely pull off.
The Sagaponack is the Hamptons address that people who actually know the Hamptons want. Formerly the Wainscott Inn, the 30-room property spread across seven leafy acres underwent a $4 million renovation — cedar-shingle exterior kept intact, interior completely reimagined in a coastal palette of white, deep green, sage, and navy. It sits squarely between East Hampton and Bridgehampton on Montauk Highway: close enough to the scene, far enough to breathe.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Bungalow
Detached standalone units spread across the seven-acre property. Each has a private outdoor space — the right call for families, groups, or pet owners who want to feel like they have their own little corner of the Hamptons. Kitchenettes, spacious living areas, and the ability to step outside directly from your room make these the most popular category. Guests consistently call them the best rooms in the Hamptons.
Main Inn King Guest Room
Located in the heart of the Main Inn building — the social hub of the property. Polished brass fixtures, bespoke furnishings, and artwork that references the local area. High ceilings get favorable mentions in guest reviews. Good option for couples or solo travelers who want to be close to the pantry galley and pool without needing a full bungalow.
KingMain Inn King Suite
The flagship room in the Main Inn. Same design language as the King Guest Room — brass, bespoke, coastal — but with more space and a jacuzzi tub in-suite. Good pick for extended stays; the hotel specifically lists suites as an option for longer-term guests.
King
Studio Double
Same format as the Studio King but with two double beds — making it workable for two guests who prefer separate sleeping surfaces, or a parent and child. Same private patio setup and compact-but-comfortable approach.
DoubleStudio King
The most compact category on property — built for solo travelers or couples who plan to spend most of their time at the beach or exploring the South Fork. Come with wet bars and private patios. Note: some guests describe studios as 'very tight,' so manage expectations on square footage.
